A Mild Schism

Prog. Disp vs. Cov. Theo.

Look into it, but with a grain of salt.

Also, take a peak at ideals set in the various seminaries such as Fuller, Masters, Talbot, Southern Baptist, Westminster, even the liberal-er ones… Which means-end, goal, direction, and/or vision most reflects the gospel?

AND how can I convey the gospel in it’s distinctions of the various schools as clearly and concisely as I can in hopes to speak with a certain amount of authority to those looking into seminary.

Ultimately, for the  revelation of the genuine Godly character to be “taught” to the individuals.

one note: Bible is the word of God. In that, it is inerrant truth.

And I write this because I am considering Seminary in my distant future.

The Gospel & Personal Evangelism

I’m currently reading Mark Dever’s The Gospel & Personal Evangelism and I came across his own definition of the good news. I just wanted to jot it down here to help me to remind myself this concise understand of the Evangel.

The good news is that the one and only God, who is holy, made us in his image to know him. But we sinned and cut ourselves off from him. In his great love, God became a man in Jesus, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross, thus fulfilling the law himself and taking on himself the punishment for the sins of all those who would ever turn and trust in him. He rose again from the dead, showing that God accepted Christ’s sacrifice and that God’s wrath against use had been exhausted. He now calls us to repent of our sins and to trust in Christ alone for our forgiveness. If we repent of our sins and trust in Christ, we are born again into a new life, an eternal life with God.

-Mark Dever

Now how do I convey this to others and those closest to me.
