Nine Tenets of Fundamentalism

Actually, I think they are right about the immanent return.

 

As a pre-mil dispensationalist, I could sign that, along with the other eight. And IMO, "imminent" in this context implies "at any moment" (in 5 minutes or 500 years) rather than "very soon."

 

If Jesus' return is not immanent, wouldn't we know the time of his return based on yet to be fulfilled prophecies and their duration? Something only the Father knows?

 

This is a pretty general statement. I think there are fundamental Baptists who would recognize a post-trip person as fundamentalist. I would myself would say they are fundamentalist--fundamentalist but mistaken.

 

As long as one is not a preterist though, does any acceptable view on Eschatology rise uyp to the level of denying one the right to teach in a church if so qualifed and gifted/called to be doing such? I did not agree with Calvin on infant baptism, but would not tell him cannot preach from the pulpit!

 

I would ask him to preach from Romans 6:1-5

Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

 

Him and someone like a Spurgeon would "knock that out of the park"

 

Spurgeon - Yes, Calvin - Don't think so.

 

Minneapolis? I associated you with Texas

 

Why not?

 

Calvin was a sprinkler of babies. Very controversial item.

Question: [TBC's] statement that John Calvin taught that Infant Baptism saves betrays a regrettable ignorance of Calvin’s beliefs....I request you publish this clarification of our Protestant, Reformed position.

 

The ascended to Heaven, Jesus, did so once (Hebrews 9:12) even as He suffered once (Hebrews 10:10), He will appear a 2nd time (Hebrews 9:28). Besides, the rapture will only take place until after the dead in Christ are raised (1 Thessalonians 4:15) in the last day (John 6:40).

 

Yes, but his theology in regards to how saved was spot on!

 

Do we know the time of the rapture?

 

How do you know?

 

If it is 7 years before the millennium, we know when Christ returns. There are numerous other problems related to this too.

 

he was among hte premier Calvinists in History!

 

When is the Millinium?

 

In what venue Dave? Generic happenings of events (Matthew 24) or an actual calendar date and time?

 

7 years = 7 years.
