By R. "Lane" Bryant, Jr. The Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed aptly describes the church as “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.” The church is one in that it is united as the body of Christ. The church is holy because God has set it apart from the world. The church is catholic in that it u...

By R. “Lane” Bryant, Jr. “I was in prayer and Jesus Christ appeared to me in human form, there was a brilliant light that came into my bedroom, and when the light cleared up, there stood Jesus and he said I have appeared to you for a reason and a purpose.”1 This is how Mary K. Baxter begins her expl...

By James R. Polk The first 11 chapters of Genesis are foundational to the history of redemption and God's plan of salvation. Unfortunately, there is a growing number of believers who are very concerned that Christians not look foolish in the eyes of unbelievers, especially those in the scientific co...

This snuck up on me as well! I was originally hoping to attend this debate but never got around to making the plans til it was over lol. Now I really wish I had gone.

When I was in college my pastor would have about 15 or so college students over at his house for dinner and study Sunday nights. A few evenings he just read through Tim Keller's "The Prodigal God," and we'd pause at the end of each chapter for discussion. Normally though we would just pick...

Pelagianism may indeed be rare but I think it's making a come-back, perhaps thanks to sites like YouTube. I meet a lot of people these days who argue against original sin.

Thought I would share some more insights from a brother

I think the main reason presuppositionalism tends to be seen as being distinctly Calvinistic is because of total depravity. Presuppositionalism faults evidentialism for being too naive about the sinfulness of man. On an evidentialist point of view, common grace has been effective enough to provide m...

Notice all the quotes provided from the early church fathers in the article referred to are quotes dealing with soteriological issues. No one is claiming that these men agreed with absolutely everything that Calvinists believe today. Only the most critical issues, which effect one's understanding of...

My bad. It seems in my studies, I have found out that Catholics pretty much are Calvinists, but just don't word themselves that way. The only thing they are "iffy" on is Perseverance of the Saints. More here: http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1993/9309fea1.asp So that was the error on my p...

I wonder what Tristan and others have to say about the content matter of the articles themselves? http://www.warrantedfaith.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=702#p4244 I wouldn't go as far to say we worship different Gods, though, and that Arminians aren't Christians. I'm not sure I understand...

I wonder what Tristan and others have to say about the content matter of the articles themselves?

The main thing would be history. I'm also very interested in the Orthodox faith, and the only faiths I consider as of now are the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. I assumed, when I was Protestant, that there were always Protestants. However, as I read in history, there was nothing resembling Protestan...

Are you referring to Michigan? Wouldn't they be maize and blue? Or are you referring to Appy St.? Been a Hawkeye my whole life, too late to change allegiances now.
