What does the King James Bible truly teach about baptism? Is it merely a symbol, or something more? Dive deep into one of Christianity's most foundational—and debated—doctrines in Baptism: Born of Water and of the Spirit. This comprehensive study, part of the Foundations of the Faith Series, bypasses centuries of human tradition and denominational interpretation to examine the subject using Scripture alone, drawing exclusively from the King James Version. Author David Michael Curtis employs the rigorous Topical Bible Study Method, guiding readers to discover the Bible's unified message ...

À travers toutes ses activités quotidiennes, le pasteur ne doit pas perdre de vue son objectif ultime : la sanctification du peuple de Dieu. C'est là le cœur du projet de Dieu pour les chrétiens. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur rappelle aux pasteurs de ne pas oublier la raison pour laquelle ils passent d'innombrables heures à préparer des sermons, à rendre visite à des personnes malades, à conseiller et à célébrer des mariages, surtout lorsque la ligne d'arrivée semble lointaine et qu'ils sont tentés d'abandonner.

How do we justify a connection between Manufactured Consent and Church? Creeds? Perhaps it's best to begin this discussion by explaining what manufactured consent means. The Origins and Development of the Phrase Manufactured Consent The phrase "manufactured consent" has its roots not in the late twentieth century, but in the early decades of the twentieth century. Its first significant use appears in Walter Lippmann’s[i] influential work Public Opinion (1922).[ii] Writing in the aftermath of World War I and in the midst of the rapid expansion of mass media, Lippmann observed that modern ...

In the first four chapters of his letter to the Corinthian church, which was obviously not originally divided into four easy-to-read chapters, Paul talked about a division in the church that he had learned about from either Chloe or from a person in Chloe's household. Then in the next four chapters of this first volume of a commentary on the book of First Corinthians, he talked about fornication in the church, taking a brother or sister in the Lord to court, to marry or not to marry, and the Christian position on eating meats that had been offered to idols. But in looking at his ...

EL EVANGELIO DIGNO DE SER RECIBIDO POR TODOS Andrew Fuller (1754-1815), nació en Inglaterra, y fue un teólogo, pastor, y promotor de las misiones mundiales. Fuller es considerado como uno de los personajes de mayor influencia en la tradición Bautista. Su obra El Evangelio, para todos los hombres, representa su obra cumbre, y una de las obras que más impacto ha tenido en las misiones mundiales. Lo amplio de su producción literaria, la profundidad de sus escritos, y la relevancia de sus aplicaciones pastorales hacen que su legado sea inigualable. La obra de Fuller se extiende no solo al ...

Is it really true that what Jesus has accomplished for us on the cross is enough? Or do we need to add our own works of righteousness to the equation? IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE. Receive the revelation that will enable you to get of the hamster wheel of religion and enter into true rest for your soul. Experience His shalom (peace) and joy through a revelation of the gift of His righteousness. Follow in the footsteps of Paul, the great apostle. He considered his own righteousness (which comes through the law) poo (excrement). In other words, it stinks. Paul no longer wanted to have anything ...

Calvinism has become so widespread and popular not only among protestant churches, but also among Baptists so that many among them take pride to be called “Calvinists”. In fact, the Calvinists would often speak that there are only two types of people in this world, that you are either a “Calvinist” or an “Arminian” so that the unawares or ignorant are left without any choice. Their use of Scriptures seem to be convincing until you study well and search out the truth, and find out that they are just wrestling with the Scriptures to fit with man-made doctrines.“As also in all ...

In the vast realm of spiritual warfare, as depicted in biblical theology, there exists a category of adversaries whose danger is often underestimated due to their very nature. These are the familiar spirits, entities that do not announce their presence with overt malevolence or blatant lies. Instead, they weave their deceptions with a subtlety that makes them particularly insidious. The danger of familiar spirits is further magnified by their subtlety. Unlike overtly malevolent entities that might incite fear or revulsion, familiar spirits operate in the shadows of comfort and recognition. ...

Self-righteousness can do much damage to the lives of believers. Paul, the apostle, knew this. So he did his best to safeguard us. In Philippians chapter 3, Paul pleads with us to stay away from doctrines that promote self-righteousness. And the people who promote them. Paul calls them ‘dogs.’ ‘Evil workers.’ ‘The mutilation.’ These were people who said, “If you want to get right with God, you also need to do this ... and that ...” In Paul’s days, it was circumcision. Today, it might be something else. Because doctrines of self-righteousness are still around today. Albeit ...

This book will take you on a fascinating journey through the history of Christian thought. The journey includes surprising twists and turns as we navigate the three major views of hell in church history: (1) eternal conscious torment, (2) annihilationism (sinners will cease to exist), and (3) ultimate restoration (hell is an afterlife refinery leading all to repentance and faith in Christ). But this is much more than a tour through the underworld. This topic drives us to take a closer look at the Bible, Christian theology, and the character of God.

Un comentario actual y tan desafiante como epístola escrita por el apóstol Pablo.

Epistemology is at the heart of any inquiry about knowledge and truth. As Gordon Clark wrote, when any person makes a claim, particularly about theological or philosophical ideas, an appropriate question to ask is "How do you know?" In this project, epistemology's How do you know? is the starting point for the task of taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. It is within the framework of epistemological inquiry that the author seeks to establish not only what can be known about reality, but how one comes to know what is claimed. As the Introduction will make clear, every ...

The Coming Spiritual Earthquake is more than the title to this audiobook. It poignantly describes what is about to take place in the very near future. Great multitudes of Christians will be shocked when the rapture takes place and they are left behind! These believers will be utterly astonished to find themselves in the horrors of the tribulation. Most believers don't realize that the popular left behind series has lulled the Church asleep with the false assurance they will be raptured when Jesus returns no matter what their spiritual condition.

This 39 page article is for you if you are baffled. What is Calvinism? What's with the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism? Maybe you've heard the name of John Calvin attached to a theology that sounded cold, monstrous, illogical, unbiblical, or cruel. Maybe Calvinists haven't been helpful in the task of understanding Calvinism! It's time to get some clarification. If you've been burned by all the heat surrounding the debate over things like predestination and election, Reformed theology, or the TULIP of Calvinism, maybe it's time for straightforward facts, without all the hysteria. ...

Committing the sin which can never be forgiven. Looking at what the Bible teaches as the unpardonable sin.

A sermon by Charles Spurgeon, in which he claims that Christ died out of sheer pity for the ungodly.

John 17:20 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” In the powerful statement above, we read about Jesus putting His seal of approval on the apostles whom He entrusted to carry on His message after He ascended into heaven. Jesus was able to do this because of His foreknowledge of their future. If they would have strayed from His original intent for them to preach His unadulterated Word, He would have foreknown it, and accordingly would not have directed us to believe on Him through their word. Knowing this important truth, we can ...

You will be treated like Jesus on the Day of Judgment! That is exactly what the entire New Testament is shouting to believers. There will be no fear, no shame, and no guilt on the Day of Judgment. Instead, we can have confidence on the Day of Judgment because we are totally forgiven and just like Jesus. In The Cross Worked., Zach Maldonado explores the Scriptures about forgiveness, reward, and judgment and dismantles the popular religious jargon around these verses.

Some people might think that Easter is about family get-togethers and the Easter Bunny. It is not. Therefore, this text, while focusing primarily on the prophecies of the Prophet Isaiah and especially on those that explain why Jesus was crucified, also discusses prophecies written by other Old Testament prophets. In the first three parts of this text, nine passages from the book of Isaiah will be examined leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Those passages are Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 64:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 41:27-29, Isaiah 61:1-3, Isaiah 50:4-9, and Isaiah ...

The Birth of the Nicene Creed The Nicene Creed is one of the most important statements of Christian faith ever produced. It is recited across the world in Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and many Protestant churches, standing as a common confession uniting believers across centuries and continents. But this Creed did not emerge in a vacuum. It was written in a moment of crisis, forged out of fierce controversy, and shaped by the need to define the Church’s faith against serious threats. To understand the Creed, we must first understand why it was necessary. The immediate context was the ...
