    As I was reading his book on "tongues" I was surprised that he was not a total cessationist. He was not "charismatic" but his position would be called today as a "soft cessationist". Meaning, that if there was ever a need for the gift of tongues then God can sovereignly give that sign gift.

    That's probably an accurate assessment. But I never heard him (sermons or privately) talk about a case where Acts 2 tongues (miraculous languages) had occurred to his knowledge.

    I'm just wondering how he divided bible history. Did he held to dispensations or divided by covenants? Or did he was divided history by old testament and new testament?

    Actually, I don't believe he ever divided Bible history. His theology was based solidly on Christology. He did not hold to dispensations as I said. He always considered the OT covenants to be pointing to Christ, and preached and taught them that way, as in his book "The Coming Kingdom of Christ."

    Hello Sir! It appears to me that John R Rice was a dispensationalist in his eschatology but not his ecclesiology. Also how did John R Rice view dispensations?

    John R. Rice was actually not a dispensationalist, and criticized the theology a number of times in his writings. His main objection was the belief that the church started at Pentecost, whereas he believed the main meaning of Pentecost was revival, and taught that the church included the OT saints.

    His position on prophecy was for a premillennial and pretribulational rapture, but he got this through his own study, not dispensationalism. So, he would be classified as historical premil. Thank you for asking.

    John you said.
    "I challenge you on this.

    I have read these writers intensively in the past, when I worked in London and had access to the Evangelical Library, which was a short walk from where I worked. I have now been retired for over 20 years and am now over 80. Some time ago I posted part of Elliott's "History of Apocalyptic Interpretation" on the Trail of Blood Forums.books,.

    I know an air man serving in the Air Force on an air base in Northern Japan. He is in desperate need of a church home and someone to disciple him. Can you help me get him in contact with some good people?

    Thanks for the tip, Rob. I hadn't heard of this yet. Looks like a great piece of software, though the only Japanese version listed is the Shinkyodo, the Confraternity NT.

    Hi, Rhet. I hope you and yours are doing well too. All I know about David Cloud is that he is a Temple grad and has a big website. I'm surprised that he doesn't think Granddad believed in repentence. JRR is very clear in multiple writings about that. JRH

    John,
    I hope all is well. Can you answer a question for me. What is up with one "Brother Cloud" not believing your Granddad believed in repentance?

    Hi, Salty. The name kind of rings a bell. My sister Faith Himes might know them. She graduated in '70 and with her MA in '72. Ask if they know her.
    Salty
    My brother Gary Teachout, and his wife Diane attended BJU 66-72 (maybe 73) I know BJU is a big school, but does the name ring a bell?
