Book excerpt: This volume is a thorough biblical expose of what has come to be called Lordship Salvation. Throughout the volume, Lou Martuneac rightly emphasizes that one's personal salvation from sin is by Gods grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

Download or read book In Defense of the Gospels written by John Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gospel Truth or Gospel Myth?Christianity stands or falls on whether the Gospel accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus are true. Are the accounts reliable? What is the evidence?Most people have heard of the Gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-writings that tell about the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Some people see the Gospels as true accounts of what Jesus said and did, while others see them as religious fiction. Lawyer and Christian Apologist John Stewart examines the question of whether the Gospels are reliable accounts of Jesus by investigating the six main questions people have about the Gospels:* Were the Gospel accounts written when eyewitnesses were alive? * Who wrote the Gospels-are the authors anonymous, or known?* Does the evidence show the Gospel writers were honest or biased?* Are there "Lost Gospels" that were intentionally kept out of the Bible?* Has the content of the Gospels changed from the original wording?* Do history and archaeology confirm the reliability of Gospel accounts?

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Norman L. Geisler has been called the "father of evangelical Christian philosophy." He has written more than one hundred books and taught at universities and top seminaries for some fifty-six years. He was the first president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society and the founder and first president of the International Society of Christian Apologetics. He has spoken or debated in more than two dozen countries and held pastoral/pulpit ministries in four states. Many view him as a cross between Thomas Aquinas and Billy Graham. No one has done more to communicate the modern challenges of the Faith to the "average" Christian, to the church, and to the academy. This volume offers creative and constructive essays from twenty-three contributors, all notable in their own right, who preserve and propagate Dr. Geisler's ideas and express appreciation for his influence. Those who know him best say he is "true, faithful, and blessed by God!"

Download or read book Getting the Gospel Right written by R. C. Sproul and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unity in the gospel is essential to the witness of the church. Yet that unity was tested by the release of two documents, Evangelicals and Catholics Together and The Gift of Salvation, which appeared to surrender the historic doctrine of sola fide (faith alone). In response, Christian leaders released a statement called The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration. Getting the Gospel Right, a companion to Sproul's popular Faith Alone, contains the complete text of that statement along with thorough, point-by-point discussion and exposition, to make a strong declaration of the abiding unity of evangelicals regarding the gospel and justification by faith alone.
Download or read book In Defense of the King James Bible written by Rick Streight and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are there so many translations of the Bible, and what is the difference between them? Does it make a difference which version you read? Are they all the same? In Defense of the King James Bible presents a clear scriptural argument for the unadulterated Word of God, which is unique to the King James Version Bible. To prove the originality and uniqueness of this particular translation of Scripture, the author devotes a majority of the study to the comparison of verses from the King James Version Bible and other translations. It is startling to discover the omission and perversions of Scripture that change the meaning of verses and sound doctrine. Journey with the author as he examines the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy to gain a deeper understanding of God's Word and its importance in preparing us for Christ's Second Coming.
Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Download or read book A Defense for the Chronological Order of Luke s Gospel written by Benjamin Wing Wo Fung and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades scholars have reached no consensus on the writing order of Luke’s gospel. The author, through a thorough study of the word “orderly” in Luke 1:3; a comparison of Luke’s writing methodologies with those of the Greco-Roman historians; and a detailed investigation of the differences in the narrative accounts among the Synoptic Gospels, concludes that Luke writes in chronological order. The author also explains how Luke has employed writing methodologies commonly used by Greco-Roman historians to write the prefaces in Luke-Acts and divide the Gospel into sections, and the implications of these writing methodologies on Luke’s writing order. He explicates the possible reasons behind the differences in the writing style between the “travel” section (9:52b to 19:44) and the rest of the Gospel, proposes the central theme of Luke-Acts, and assesses the possible implications for accepting Luke’s chronological writing order on biblical studies.

Consequently, spreading the gospel means that one has to root out religious misconceptions and replace them with the teachings of the gospel of Christ. Kyle Pope has prepared a workbook that addresses many of the issues relating to rooting out denominational concepts about salvation, worship, security of the saint, woman's role in the church, the organization and work of the church, and divorce and remarriage, basing his teachings upon accepting the authority of Scripture as one's guide in religion.

But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ? Pastor John MacArthur responds to these very questions and more—with solid, biblical answers focused in four particular areas: * your attitude * your preparedness * the content of your answers * your priority in witnessing Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.

Download or read book The Defense Never Rests written by Craig A. Parton and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read a penetrating critique of American Christianity. Author Craig A. Parton's spiritual journey led him from unbelief into an important leadership position with a well-known ministry. There he became deeply involved in modern American Evangelicalism. He was dismayed to discover that much of modern American Evangelicalism is about personal self-improvement, striving to fulfill laws and rules, and a roller-coaster ride from one spiritual high to the next, always seeking but never fully satisfied. He tells how he discovered the radically liberating message of authentic Reformation spirituality and why he has never turned back. He beautifully describes the joy of a Christ-centered approach to Christianity and explains the importance of explaining and defending the faith once delivered to the saints.
