Unaffiliated Baptist Churches: Analysis of the Emphasis
To obey the Bible, I don’t know how a church isn’t an unaffiliated Baptist church. Maybe churches that aren’t unaffiliated haven’t considered it, but if they did, they too would become unaffiliated if their concern was obedience to the Bible. Before our church became an unaffiliated Baptist church, there was always conviction for me that […]
Bishop G. Handley Moule: Keswick Quietist Leader, part 2 of 2
Furthermore, despite the fearful warnings of Scripture against such practices, and the terrible opportunities they gave to the devil, Moule also claimed to communicate with the dead and offered prayer for them, in a manner reminiscent of the interactions with the dead of the spiritualist Higher Life pillars Mr. and Mrs. Mount-Temple. Moule also commended […]
What Has Happened that the Gospel Has Been So Messed Up by Professing Christians? part two
This is part four of a series of an analysis of the gospel (parts one, two, three). ***** In my first post this week, I began explaining why Christians are perverting the gospel or allowing it to be perverted. Almost all the reasons I gave were theological. Everything is theological, because this is God’s world, […]
What Has Happened that the Gospel Has Been So Messed Up by Professing Christians?
Last week I wrote two posts about so-called gospel declaration in independent Baptist churches (one and two). The warped or corrupt or lacking presentation of Kurt Skelly just represents what’s already all over. It’s bad that he and that whole direction of practice is so admired among independent Baptists or that even those not with […]
Keswick’s History: Keswick Theology’s Rise and Development in an Analysis and Critique of So Great Salvation by Stephen Barabas, part 3 of 5
The content of this post is now available at the link viewable by clicking here. It combines all the parts of this series of blog posts in one file. Please view the material at that link. This part covers from the words: “While earlier perfectionist heretics were important, Barabas recognizes that “the Keswick movement had […]
Postscript to Analysis of Skelly Gospel Video
When I wrote the post on the Skelly video for Monday, I knew that far more people could or would be upset, unhappy, or just ambivalent about my writing something like that, than they would be likewise with the actual video and its contents. Not only in independent-Baptist-land is someone better and better off leaving […]
Analysis: Online Video Plan of Salvation – Is It the Gospel?
Nothing in scripture disputes using video online to give the gospel, as biblical teaching allows for a microphone or a movable type printing press. These are circumstances, like a hymnbook, which aid in something regulated by God’s Word — singing hymns. I’m not criticizing the tool here, unless the natural circumstances themselves were contradicted by […]
Bishop G. Handley Moule: Keswick Quietist Leader, part 1 of 2
In his Keswick classic, So Great Salvation, Steven Barabas alleges that “Keswick is very careful to point out that its doctrine of sanctification by faith is not Quietism,” quoting “Bishop Handley Moule”[1] to support this alleged opposition to Quietism by Keswick. However, Barabas either overlooks or misrepresents[2] the fact that Moule himself, who Barabas […]
Nothing Is New In Actual Evangelism: Cleverness Is Bad in and for Evangelism
Inventiveness or cleverness does not turn out well in the Bible. Many died for doing something that God’s Word didn’t say was wrong. Silence is not permission. You won’t be alright for doing other than what God said, even if He didn’t say it was wrong. You can be in trouble for not doing what […]
Lack of True Shepherding Instinct to Protect
When you read Jesus’ description of himself as a Shepherd, the Shepherd, in John 10, you see the absolute, vital, and definitional characteristic to protect His sheep. His sheep are in the fold of false shepherds or unqualified hirelings, one hundred percent susceptible to the intentions of wolves and thieves and robbers. He leads them […]
