Subject: Contemporizing Christians Message? |
Bible Note: Dear Doc, I would like to remind you of the basic principles of hermeneutics, not mine not yours but of exegesis; Please reread How To Read The Bible For All Its Worth, by Gordon and Fee, pages 77, 78 - the problem of pariticular that are not comparable, the problem of cultural relativity pages 80-84; We cannot ignore that there are problems with applying first century applications to twenty-first century settings that cannot be swept away under the umbrella of an over simplification of the priciple of a literal interpretation of the Bible and just rereading it or going to a commentator is not the issue, arriving at a real application for today without destroying the original application or the text is the issue. Don't act as if you dont' know this is true... Quote, Calvary Baptist Church web page; Here are the articles of faith for the church that run my school - 1.We believe in one God, eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 2.We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is God's inspired and infallible Word, and is the supreme standard and final authority for all conduct, faith, and doctrine. 3.We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His premillenial, personal return in power and glory. 4.We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by willful transgression became sinful and is justly under the condemnation and wrath of Almighty God. 5.We believe that the only salvation from this guilt and condemnation is through faith in the righteousness and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this salvation is the free gift of God's love and grace. 6. We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit and that His ministry is to reveal Christ to men, to convict of sin, to regenerate repentant sinners and, by His presence and power, to sanctify the lives of the redeemed. 7. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted the ordinances of baptism and communion; that baptism is only to be administered upon profession of faith in Christ, by immersion, thereby declaring our faith in a crucified, buried and risen Saviour; that communion is only for believers, is to be preceded by faithful self-examination, and is in remembrance of the Lord's death until He comes. 8. We believe that a New Testament Church is a body of believers, baptized by immersion, associated for worship, service, and the spread of the Gospel of the grace of God to all the world. 9.We believe that there will be a resurrection of the just and the unjust; the just, having been redeemed by the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be with Him throughout eternity in glory; the unjust, having died impenitent and unreconciled to God, to eternal condemnation in Hell. Here are the objectives of the school - To encourage a systematic study of the Bible, both in its total sweep and in its integral parts. To assist Christians in the practical use of the Bible for daily living and effective witnessing. To arm God's people against the vagaries of our day and to equip them to meet contemporary questions with answers both Biblical and reasonable. To discover and develop skills for ministries within the church. To give encouragement to those who sense the call of God to church vocations at home or abroad. To lay a foundation of basic learning for those who wish to pursue further studies with a view to the ministerial office. Here is the doctrinal foundation of the school - Doctrinal Foundation of NYSB We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible, inerrant in the original autographs, and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation is by God?s grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they who are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. |
