As many of his persuasion, he begs the question of the Bible in other languages. If the KJV is God's pure Word in the English language, what is God's pure and inerrant Word in Japanese? Ruckman once stated that it was the Motoyaku ("Original translation"), but that version has Alexandrian...

That surrender gives peace to me. I can know that all things are in His hands because I put them there. Several years ago I had emergency surgery to save my life and was in the hospital for many days. All that time I had the peace and joy of God in my heart in spite of the circumstances, and was...

The Holy Spirit doesn't shout and doesn't point Himself out to the believer, though His influence may be very strong in saving. We don't speak of the Holy Spirit pushing or forcing or even urging. He leads, He guides, He fills, but only when the believer wants Him to. Are you right now totally...

I was born in the Baptist Hospital of Miami, OK. What else do I need? :Cool Oh, yeah, then there are the Baptist distinctives, which are fully Biblical. Then there is the lack of any denominational structure in the Scriptures, then the autonomy of all local churches for the first three centuries...

You can have everything I have spiritually simply by living by faith. We are saved by faith, and then must life the Christian life by faith. That was my point. Sorry if it didn't communicate well. As for God speaking to you, we have that in the Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit. God...

Here it is: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). I have walked with Jesus for about 70 years now. He is real (historically, spiritually, existentially, however you want to put...

While I think it is important that Bryan Ross is taking a stand, I think it is a mistake to call what Rovering says "Gnosticism," because there appears to be lacking many Gnostic doctrines: matter is evil and spirit good, Jesus became human (evil) to show us the way out of physical matter, there...

Thanks for this heads up, Logos. I had not heard of this guy, but he's further into outer space than Ruckman and his followers! Notice what is said on this page: Concealed from Christians For The Glory of God by Museum Founder Gary Rovarino (G. John Rov) I would classify this position as...

The rendering of "convict" is correct. The Greek is the future of ἐλέγχω, which Timothy Friberg's (et al) lexicon defines thusly: "1) in the NT, generally as showing someone that he has done something wrong and summoning him to repent bring to light, expose (JN 3.20); convince, convict ( JA...

Thank you.

I'm not aware of any bile I've sent his way.

Yeah, probably. He was a great fan of Spurgeon.

"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you" (Deut. 4:2). Not only did you change Scripture, you mis-spelled your own position. (And now I await more bile. :Biggrin)

This is best answered in his own words: "But there is a strong, blessed teaching in the Bible in which the word church is used also of the whole body of Christians, the born-again ones, the body of Christ, who will be called out to meet Christ in the air when He comes" (Churches and the Church...

Folks, when you are insulting and dismissive on the Internet (and I've done that too), you are not adorning the doctrine you are advocating, so people may dismiss you out of hand without even considering your arguments. "Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the...

Good one! :D

He believed in the 7 year tribulation and the 1000 year literal reign of Christ, but disagreed with Dispensationalism. He believed that the OT saints were included in the church, but did not accept replacement theology, and supported Israel strongly.

These statements are incendiary. Why do you have to be so dismissive and insulting?

No one ever taught me that amil is heresy, and I don't believe it. It's just mistaken. No one ever forced me to be amil. When I grew up I studied the issue extensively and came to the Dispensational premil position. I was accepted to my mission board in 1979 as historic premil, studied further...

My pet peeve on the BB is long, involved posts with a bunch of quotes from someone other than the poster. Please quit telling me what I should do. He did, when you brought the millennium into the thread. Why would I want a PDF of Mauro's book?? I'm not amil and will never, ever be, even after...
