Radio Free Geneva: A Study of Flowers!

James White, June 12, 2014, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Let’s just say that today’s Radio Free Geneva episode was…unique. Got the idea of doing a “study of flowers” this morning. What flowers? Well, the tulip, of course, then the Rose, and then, due to the Connect316 guys, the poinsettia! Hope you enjoy it! Here is the YouTube link:

Studies in Southern Presbyterian Theology

Jeff Downs, May 15, 2014, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Theology Matters

My time at Greenville Seminary is coming to a close. In fact, I will graduate from this seminary next Friday (Dr. John R. de Witt will give the commencement address). The Lord has used the professors at GPTS not only to shape me theologically, but modeled how to “walk in the same manner as He Himself walked” (1 Jn. 2:6).

Monday Miscellaneous

James White, May 12, 2014, Blog Stuff, Exegesis, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Tackled a tough, challenging section of Hebrews at PRBC on Sunday. NOTE TO ALL ANTI-LORDSHIP, CHEAP-GRACE, NON-REPENTANCE FOLKS: Please note both sermons, but especially the evening sermon. I really tried to give you all the evidence you could possibly need that I am firmly, unalterably OPPOSED to your position and identify it as a fundamental denial of the Gospel. I

SBCToday – Calvinism vs Pelagianism

Micah Burke, April 30, 2014, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Theology Matters

This post is intended to address some comments by Doug Sayers on the sbctoday.com blog. I’m posting this here because the owner of the sbctoday blog has an aversion to honest and robust debate from appearing on his blog. After posting several comments, having a couple of them approved, the blog owner went back and deleted them all. The author

Jeff Downs, March 15, 2014, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

This years GPTS Spring Theology Conference is over.

Confessions of a Former Charismatic, Part 2: Why I’m No Longer a Charismatic

Colin Smith, February 4, 2014, Testimonies, Theology Matters

In part one of this “confession,” I talked about some of my experiences as a Charismatic, including the time I encountered Benny Hinn. For the formative years of my Christian life, I fully embraced the Charismatic viewpoint. I spoke in tongues, believed that God raised up healers and prophets today, and considered churches that weren’t practicing “The Gifts” to be

Post Debate Sermons at PRBC

James White, February 2, 2014, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Theology Matters

Well, I was scheduled to preach this Sunday anyway, and since I had prepared for the two RevelationTV debates, I figured it would be wise to stay with what is fresh upon your mind (and in your preparation). Besides, I didn’t exactly get to express myself as fully as I would like, of course, in the brief time allotted to

They Love Not the Truth

James White, February 1, 2014, Theology Matters

When we observe the length to which some men will go to preserve their little empires and protect their little kingdoms, we can see how deeply deception can enwrap the heart of a man. This is playing out in a small little Baptist school in the backwoods of Georgia, where Ergun Caner has taken up residence as President of Brewton-Parker

Confessions of a Former Charismatic, Part 1: Me and Benny Hinn

Colin Smith, January 24, 2014, Testimonies, Theology Matters

The venue was the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England, the largest exhibition center in the UK. Five of us squeezed into a small car and drove the sixty-plus miles from Hereford to what we thought at the time was the biggest spiritual event of the year. Christ for All Nations, evangelist Reinhard Bonnke’s ministry, was hosting a conference, and

Benny Hinn’s website today has a Frequently Asked Questions section (link to FAQ), which includes the following question: What is the “prosperity teaching” referred to by critics, and how do you stand on that issue? You can get the full answer at his site, but here is the introduction and conclusion of the answer: The term “prosperity teaching” or “prosperity

Waldron’s Cascade Argument

TurretinFan, November 11, 2013, Theology Matters

Dr. Michael Brown and Dr. Sam Waldron had a very cordial debate on the question, “Have the New Testament Charismatic Gifts Ceased?” Dr. Brown’s rebuttal arguments did not appear to me to reflect an understanding of Dr. Waldron’s primary argument, the so-called Cascade Argument. I strongly believe that it is important to a dialog that both sides understand the other.

Strange Fire, Friendly Fire, Mis-Fire—How Many Puns Do We Really Need?

James White, October 22, 2013, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters

The last call on today’s Dividing Line asked for my opinion on what has transpired over the past few days regarding the Strange Fire Conference. Here’s my response. Summary: Lots of bad, bad stuff out there that the vast majority in the Charismatic movement have no ground upon which to resist, rebuke, or refute. But when we don’t make the

A Video I Will Respond to Tomorrow on the DL

James White, August 12, 2013, Theology Matters

I was directed to this video a few days ago, and will be responding to it on the DL tomorrow, Lord willing. See how many unfounded assertions (esp. of unitarianism), category errors, and simple refusals to allow Trinitarians to define their own faith Sir Anthony managed to pack into just a few moments!
