- A few weeks ago I taught about the Trinity in our Basic Theology group. As part of the discussion we covered a number of significant heresies that had dogged the church in its early days (200~500BC). These erroneous beliefs had been declared as heresy and put to rest by various church councils. At least that [...] - The local church in this case is saying that we choose Christ, triggering (that is, causing) Him to appoint us to eternal life. There is not mention of any prerequisite work of the Spirit.

Basic Christian Doctrine aka Systematic Theology 101
A foundation examination of the doctrines defining essential Christianity, Orthodoxy and heterodoxy. The course is mainly aimed at Christian believers. The teaching is Reformed in theological flavour.
We will spend about one session on each doctrines, covering the material over 12-14 [...] - Anyone who has read this site, or more especially my ThoughtPaths site know my option of the seeker friendly, emergent church.
Last Summer (2009) I came across this clip by Rev. Al Martin. It was big hit at the White Horse North.
Enjoy and take heed…
- On October 31, roughly 492 years ago, when he brazenly tacked his 95 “points for discussion” to the church door, Martin Luther wasn’t wearing a mask or disguise.
