    Gottschalk of Orbais

    I found some information in Geoffery Bromiley's "Historical Theology: An Introdiction" where he gets fairly detailed about the "Predestinarian Controversy." The Response of Remigius to both Gottschalk and Rabanus tells quite a bit IMO. Remigius ultimately had the condemnation reversed. I'm...

    Are Altar Calls Biblical?

    I just scanned through this but my response is that we need to make church about the actual "church" (Believers) rather than trying to attract the world. This is mainly done through expository preaching with the primacy being upon edification and spiritual growth rather than turning every church...

    Are Altar Calls Biblical?

    I believe that the Wesleyans and Pietists were mainly a reaction to the "dead orthodoxy" of the Lutherans and other reformed types who were getting sucked into "Protestant Scholasticism" and God used them to remind people that one must be "Converted" and to make their calling and election sure...

    Gottschalk of Orbais

    According to my understanding, his views were likely supralapsarian and his views of double predestination was pretty much "Hyper" but of course he is predating Calvin by over 700 years! If you look at Remigius's writings, it seems as if he was trying to moderate Gottschalk's views somewhat...

    Skillet: O Come, O Come Emmanuel

    The IFB proof text verse for condemning "boogie woogie" music! Yeah, its out of context but God knows their heart and it'll preach plus they ain't got no time to be some "dead theologians"! Get out and knock some doors and get some more bus kids dunked!

    Got Questions has an online commentary

    They are a good resource and often the first to come up on a search engine query. They are Amyralidian (Calvinism minus the "L") but they seem to be fair and objective in the way they represent other views.

    One God or three gods in one God

    The OT scriptures do not speak of the Godhead nor do they speak of one interacting with "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit" aside from the "Theophanies" and "Christophanies" that are understood by us to be Christ and perhaps the "Shekinah Glory" of which one may say is the...

    Pastor's salaries/lifestyle.

    If he were older and had been married in the past (I.E., widower), this would not be an issue. If he were a "Whippersnapper" fresh out of Bible College, I would say that he is not yet qualified due to so much of the qualifications for the "Office of a Bishop" being connected with one's...

    So, would your church give formula for the baby?

    If I were at my church and took this call, I would be like this pastor telling her to meet me at the church and if she had a legitimate need, I would pay for the baby formula out of my own pocket! I would not be happy to find out she was just calling in order to "See" if I was willing to help...

    Pastor's salaries/lifestyle.

    Yeah, I'm aware of that! Rabid Anti-Calvies love to jump on Augustine's seminal view and blow their gaskets over "Unbaptized babies burning in hell" Most reformed folk hold to Federalism (as do I) and many (such as myself, the good Baptist that I am) don't believe in baptizing babies at all...

    One God or three gods in one God

    You kinda piqued my interest here! I cannot read a lick of Arabic but I do know that it reads "right to left" as does Hebrew. With such being the case, wouldn't your Arabic text be "right Justified" rather than left?

    One God or three gods in one God

    I do not know enough of Islam or the Qu'ran in order to respond here but I would ask this: Does Islam teach the "Simplicity" of God, That God is not composed of parts? Does Islam believe in and teach the "Immensity" and "Infinity" of God? That God is infinite in his being and equally present...

    Pastor's salaries/lifestyle.

    Reformed folk just LOOOOOOVE Augustine! That is, ..............until they read what he actually believed and taught!:oops: Same with ol' "Thomie Boy" too!:cool:

    Pastor's salaries/lifestyle.

    Matt Slick is the founder of Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry or CARM for short. He is someone who will typically come up on a Google Search whenever you are doing research or looking up theological information or whatever. Why should we care? I guess we should care when someone has...

    The Falling Away

    Thank you for the clarification. Hagee certainly is a loon but I was thinking of mainstream Dispies who would also consider Hagee as being a few bricks short of a full load! As Ransom stated, there are some Dispies who believe the Temple will be in operation during the millennium as a...

    The Falling Away

    Yes, you do have some real whack-a-do "Dice it, Slice it" dispies (especially the dry-erase marker sniffers) out there who insist that many of the New Testament books are not suitable for formulating doctrine for the "Church age." I was exposed to a good bit of this during my early IFB days as...

    The Falling Away

    This is where I must push back! I am no dispensationalist but what credible dispensationalist can you point to that actually believes this? Pretty much all I know of (including myself back when I was a Dispy) see Christ's coming as the coming of Messiah of whom the Jews largely rejected. I...
