    Why do Dispensationalists teach Separation Theology?

    I have been studying end-time events for the last few years, off and on. The four major views of end-time events come from: Amillennialism Historical Premillennialism Postmillennialism Premillennial Dispensationalism I have ordered them according to the ones I find the most credible...

    Is a legal ceremony required for a marriage in God's eyes?

    My conviction would be, yes, and those who aren't legally married are living in sin (with the exception of a young engaged couple who might be shipwrecked on a desert island or something weird like that). Notice this verse: Matt 5: 31“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give...

    Mormons believe God may have sinned during his exaltation

    Mormons believe God (Elohim) may have sinned during his exaltation. In their theology, God was a man, just like they are a man, and he was exalted to godhood through progression. I was viewing an interesting video today concerning this. Several young Mormons were asked whether they believe...

    Did Charles Finney know the true gospel?

    Charles Finney has been called one of the greatest evangelists by men such as Billy Graham and Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel. I respect Billy Graham and Chuck Smith, but did they understand what they were saying? Charles Finney was a Pelagian who denied justification by faith alone, imputed...

    Understanding Church History

    I'd like to recommend a four-volume set of books by Nick Needham called '2000 Years of Christ's Power". I have completed volume 2 of this set, and it is fantastic. A knowledge of church history is very important because 1) it acquaints the reader with the sources of lots of modern-day heresies...

    Are believers united to Jesus or to the Law?

    One of the most important concepts in Christianity is union with Christ. If you don't understand this concept, I recommend reading Union with Christ by Rankin Wilbourne. The believer is joined with Jesus in a legal and spiritual sense upon salvation. In a legal sense, he shares Jesus'...
