Those For Whom Christ Died: Some Reflections

Posted on by
Introduction The Statement of Belief of Faith Baptist Theological Seminary affirms the following truth concerning Jesus Christ: “We believe that Jesus Christ…gave Himself as a perfect substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all men” (page 6, 1995–1997 catalog). The Issues Not all Christians agree with the above statement. One Reformed theologian states, ”God, existing in eternity outside of and anterior to all time, decreed to send the Second Person of the Trinity into the world, at the appropriate moment, to save a chosen few.

Biblical Foundation for Victorious Christian Living

Posted on by
There is a great deal of confusion today regarding what is involved in victorious Christian living and what makes it possible. Some of the answers being given out are plainly wrong, and many others are only partially true. It will be in the teaching of the Scriptures that God’s answers will be found. It is not possible in this brief treatment to mention everything which could be said, but a framework will be developed to note God’s wonderful provisions for us in this area of victorious Christian living.

Third Generation Christians

Posted on by
“And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel” Joshua 2:10. Regarding those who may be described as third generation Christians, they appear that way not so much by numerical succession as by attitude. A fifth generation believer may maintain the freshness of his salvation and discovery. A second generation believer may leave the convictions of his parents, take everything for granted, and thereby compress decades of Christian experience into a fraction of a lifetime.

The Impeccability of Christ

Posted on by
Introduction Our topic asks the question, “Was it possible for Jesus Christ to sin when He was tempted during His earthly ministry?” Those who answer, “yes it was possible for Him to sin, though He did not choose to sin” are teaching the peccability of Christ. Those who answer, “no, it was not possible for Jesus Christ to sin” are teaching the impeccability of Christ. A Presentation of the Doctrine It is my purpose to show that Jesus Christ was and is impeccable, i.e.

Ministering in the Spirit

Romans 8:4 “…who walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 3:3 “…are ye not carnal, and walk as men?” 2 Corinthians 10:3 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.” Galatians 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” The New Testament etches a mark between the old nature and the new, between the flesh and the spirit (John 3:5,6).

Lessons in Church Planting from the Apostle Paul

Posted on by
Many people have a mistaken idea of missions. If you ask them, “What is a missionary?” they immediately think of someone who goes to a foreign land, learns a foreign language, and works in a foreign culture. In one sense they are right, but in another they are wrong. They are right in that many missionaries do go to foreign lands. They do learn foreign languages. They do work in foreign cultures. However, they are wrong in thinking that this is true of every missionary.

What Became of Personal Separation?

Posted on by
1 John 2:15–17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the Iust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

The Star of Bethlehem: Its Mystery, Magic, and Message

Posted on by
The thrilling Christmas event of the eternal Creator God becoming man will always be shrouded in mystery. Paul, in reciting perhaps an early Christian hymn, expressed the event thusly: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16a). Other mysteries in connection with the incarnation have excited interested saints since the first Christmas day. The identity of the magi and the appearance of a mysterious star have perplexed sincere minds for the past two millennia.

Biblical Holiness

Actually this article is a review of two books that deal with the issue of separation. For many years fundamentalists who wanted a balanced, written presentation of their viewpoint had access to many pamphlets but very few books. In 1979 Regular Baptist Press published Biblical Separation: The Struggle for a Pure Church by Dr. Ernest Pickering, and this book continues to be a leader in the field. In 1994, however, Bob Jones University Press published two new books which address this issue.

Three Principles for Biblical Church Growth, Part 2

Posted on by
Dr. Luke’s account of the church in Antioch (Acts 11:19–30) yields three principles for Biblical church growth. The previous issue of the Faith Pulpit explained the first principle: “Reach Out To The Lost” (11:19–21). The believers in Antioch shared the good news of Christ with their neighbors, “and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord” (11:21). Reports of church growth reached the believers in Jerusalem. Earlier they had sent Peter and John to Samaria (8:14). This time they sent Barnabas to Antioch (11:22).
