and I'd wager you disagree about SOMETHING with every single teacher in their BBN family of speakers. Probably me, too.

you presume much! If anyone teaching is against what the Bible says, then surely anyone who is a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a believer in the Infallible, Inerrant Word of God, must stand for Bible Truth, even though it might go against the majority, and so-called "big names"!

Just make sure that our preferences and own convictions do not become the theology standrad!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Not fussing with this, but using "heresy" will get you into trouble. I'd like to use it with about any non-calvinist on the BB, but it is not accepted so unless I can slip it in quietly (like in this sentence) I dare not say it

 

[SavedByGrace]

Jesus is already the Lord over His own when Justified, but agree that we should continue to grow in Him and His grace and submit to Him as Lord!

"submit to Him as Lord"

my point being that people like Walvoord say otherwise! see #15

"to accept the lordship of Christ and to promise to serve the Lord from then on". This is AGAINST the Bible!

the Holy Bible MUST be our ONLY Standard, even when it disagrees with our "theology".

 

[Yeshua1]

Agreed, but watch out that our own theology is now fixed as the standard all others must submit with!

sure, point taken, but I only mean this as "unbiblical teaching". John Stott taught the "heresy" of annihilation, but this does not make him a "heretic", nor mean that he is lost!

you saying that my theology is not what the Bible teaches? like where?

Yet another place that teaches a false "gospel", that can never get a sinner saved! They assume that they know better than Jesus Christ, Who IS God Incarnate, and say that all that a sinner need do to get saved, is to "believe"! How to Get to Heaven

Jesus says Himself, and this is the ONLY Authority that really counts, "and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; REPENT and BELIEVE in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15). And, Luke 24:47, "and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem". The Apostle Peter who actually walked with Jesus, in his first sermon, told those who had been "cut to the heart" (Acts 2:37) from his preaching, and asked "what shall we do?", that, "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.". In the following chapter Peter says, "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out" (v.19)

Now the devil has very cunningly seen that "REPENTANCE for the forgiveness of sins", has been removed, and this is now seen as simply a change of ones mind on how they view God, Jesus, the Bible, etc, etc. This is a LIE!

Because the term "repent ye" is not used you seem to deny such teaching as *John 3:16 or such as the meaning of 1 John 5:1 or 1 John 5:9-13.

*Even the whole gospel of John.

what exactly are you on about? you seem to have the knack of saying things that I am supposed to believe, when you are completely wrong! I have always said very clearly, that a sinner MUST "Repent and Believe", as Jesus Himself teaches, to get saved, without these two, salvation is IMPOSSIBLE! I care not what some great teachers might argue on this, my Authority is the Holy Bible! If some want to make "repentence" a "work", as in "for merit", then they fail to understand what the God of the Bible says on this, as they do on the "Lordship" issue!"

Anyhow, this is my last here, as this thread is not a place for debate, for which I apologise for doing.

Another avenue for study might be a local church that offers a discipleship program. As indicated by some posters, the professors of the BBN might be more interested in indoctrination rather than edification, but by taking a course or three, the value of the effort should be demonstrated.

 

[church mouse guy]

Have only had positive interaction with BBN programs. The list of audio teachers is impressive, including some friends of mine, professors, "big names" no one would questions - Pentecost/Ryrie/Walvoord from Dallas Seminary, Ray Stedman, Warren Wiersbe, Howard Hendricks, John Whitcomb, Frank Garlock, Walter Martin and a host more.

Two thumbs up for what they are doing, compiling sermons/lectures of the "greats" for a new generation.

I thought that I was the only Walter Martin fan on this board. The SBC seems to have disowned him. Thank you for mentioning him.

. . . wrong! I have always said very clearly, that a sinner MUST "Repent and Believe", as Jesus Himself teaches, to get saved, without these two, salvation is IMPOSSIBLE! I

Which the Apostle John did not teach as such in His account of the gospel.

Do you have an alternative suggestion for comprehensive and systematic theological instruction?

Dr. W. A. Criswell presented a popular-level systematic theology series from the pulpit called "Great Doctrines of the Bible" which offers a clear and fairly comprehensive coverage of the "-ologies" in about eight dozen sermons. The messages are available free of charge as text, audio, and often video at wacriswell.com - you can click By Series on the home page and type Great to see the list. The messages were also published in book form (8 vols), out of print but can be found used.

I can second the free online courses from DTS.
I’d also recommend sitting thru class lectures from Master’s Seminary archives and lectures from Ligonier.org.

Baptist Seminary Extension offers Very worthwhile courses approved by the main 6 SBC seminaries and you may get college credit for some of them.

 

[Guvnuh]

I failed to mention that you can view the Archived lectures from Master’s Seminary at You Tube.

Romans 10:9 is very clear, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Confession with the mouth, like baptism are works of faith. Mark 16:16, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but . . . ." Which are the same type of salvation promise. Neither the confession or the baptism are the requirements in those promises for salvation.

 

[Dr. Bob]

This is turning into a really good resource for MANY on the BB as we consider continuing education and growth in our Faith.
Makes an old preacher smile tonight

Another avenue for study might be a local church that offers a discipleship program.

The closest churches do not speak English as their first language (Tagalog and Spanish), just got locked down again, and are not Baptist, and we are going into the Christmas season and they are just overwhelmed. Every Sunday I watch the online service for the Spanish church, but I think you all would tell me not to watch it if you saw it. If I am supposed to join that church while I am here, I will still need to supplement what I get there, especially academically.

Without my residency and ID straightened out I do not qualify for resident tuition fees at the local college and I couldn't get there right now anyway to process the paperwork to take online classes

I'm still on foot. I still don't have an ID for this state, I am living in poverty, and cannot drive because of my seizures and eyesight. I can only go as far as I walk right now.

God has this in control and I am trusting him. Walking everywhere, including a 1 mile round trip to get water every day is making me strong and teaching me to trust.

In college, first I was pursuing a paralegal degree, with all my electives in foreign language. I received a perfect 4.0 in every class I took. Until life slapped me in the face again and I got two F's.

The school believed in me and cleared all my student debt to entice me to come back. While I was out of college, I had started studying cybersecurity on my own. I changed my degree and got perfect 4.0's again in cybersecurity.

I'm out of school again, and I think God has a third degree in mind for me. I want to prepare for the possibility that I will not be attending a secular school this time. God hardens and softens hearts towards me and I end out in places that no one imagined that I'd end out in. I shock everyone, including myself.

I'm ready to buckle down and submit to authority and pump out some classes. I want to submit to an authority that is conservative Baptist, see how that goes, and then reevaluate after a few months.
