Download or read book Salvation and Christian Theology A Comparison of Protestant Theological Systems written by Jack K. Mayfield and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once someone is saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, how are they able to make theological decisions about what they believe as a Christian? How can Christians have assurance and security of their salvation, and by what beliefs and principles should they choose to live their lives? The answers to these questions and many more depend on a strong understanding of God's Word and knowledge of the specific theological systems that best represent God's message in the Bible. In his enlightening and informative guide, Salvation and Christian Theology: A Comparison of Protestant Theological Systems, author Jack K. Mayfield gives readers a detailed comparison of the characteristics of a variety of Protestant Christian theological systems, including each system's views on human redemption. First conceptualized during the author's seminary studies as a resourceful handbook for Christians struggling to understand historical church theologians/theology, Mayfield designed this guide with the goal of aiding Christians in choosing the theological system that best matches their beliefs. The text covers numerous theologies, including Calvinism, Lutheranism, Arminian, Wesleyan, and Free Grace systems, and includes useful supplemental tools to aid the readers' study, including a glossary of theological terms, charted breakdowns of various theological systems, and an extensive list of theological concepts found in specific Scriptures, with over 3,400 footnotes to support Mayfield's research. The author's goal is to give Christians a better foundation for finding a theological home for their beliefs, which in turn will influence their Christian mission and lifestyles choices.

Download or read book The Doctrine of Salvation A Beginner s Guide to Understanding Biblical Theology What Does Biblical Salvation Really Mean written by Michael Southard and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever just wanted to sit down and read something about God or Jesus just to get closer to him to know him more intimately or to expand your understanding of his creation and plan for you? So you find a book that advertises just the subject matter you are interested in, then you open it and begin to read, but before long, you realize you have to run and get the dictionary. Then you may have to purchase a dictionary of theology, then maybe an encyclopedia of Christian apologetics just to understand what you are reading. When this happens, readers often give up on the book and never finish it and may never buy another one. It can get discouraging when confronted with terminology like infralapsarianism, hamartiology, and demythologization, and that doesn't include the hundreds of nontheological words rarely used in common communication today. Authors write this way to keep the book from becoming the size of an encyclopedia. However, I did buy all those books and persevered in study because of my great hunger for the deeper things of God. Now you can too because this book conveys these wonderful biblical thoughts and great theologians' writings into plain common language. The Doctrine of Salvation takes deep theological concepts and brings their understanding down to a street level as it were. This book describes on a practical level how these doctrines are to be applied to our lives and how we can relate them to others. I refrain from using thirteen-letter words, but if they are needed, I will use them and then immediately clarify their meaning so the reader will not lose their train of thought. Enjoy reading about the wonders of God again, in greater depth!

Download or read book Calvin and Luther The Continuing Relationship written by R. Ward Holder and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reforms begun by Luther and Calvin became two of the largest and most influential movements to arise in the sixteenth century, but frequently, these two movements are seen and defined as polar opposites – one's theology is Reformed or Lutheran, one is a member of a Reformed or Lutheran congregation. Historically, these were two very separate movements – but more remains to be understood that can best be analyzed in the context of the other.Just as surely as the historical question of the boundaries between Calvin and Luther, or Lutheranism and Calvinism must be answered with a resounding yes, the ongoing doctrinal questions offer a different picture. In the more systematic doctrinal articles, an argument is forwarded that the broad confessional continuity between Luther and Calvin on the soteriological theme of union with Christ offers still-unexplored avenues to both deeper understandings of soteriology. Through such articles, we begin to see the possibility of a rapprochement between Calvin and Luther as sources, though not as historical figures. But that insight allows the conversation to extend, and bear far greater fruit.Contributors are, J.T. Billings, Ch. Helmer , H.P. Jürgens, S.C. Karant-Nunn, R. Kolb, Th.F. Latini, G.S. Pak, J.

Download or read book Self and Salvation written by David F. Ford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eagerly awaited book by David F. Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he explores the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world.

Book excerpt: We in the Continuing Church of God believe: -20 Our God is the God of salvation; (Psalm 68:20) -31 Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come (Matthew 12:31-32)-5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love ... (1 Timothy 1:5)-9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience (Hebrews 4:9-11, NIV)-7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist (2 John 7).-11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there, Touch no unclean thing; Go out from the midst of her, Be clean, You who bear the vessels of the Lord. (Isaiah 52:11)-36 My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight ... but now My kingdom is not from here. (John 18:36)-1 Let Philadelphia continue (Hebrews 13:1, literal)-14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) -14 ... I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named ... 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:14,19).But what about Protestants? Do they actually believe all the above?This book explains important differences that you need to understand if you value the God of the Bible.
Download or read book Predestination in Protestant Soteriology written by Greg KAME and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a succinct account of how the doctrine of predestination has been explained in the soteriologies of mainline evangelical theological traditions. It does not attempt to set forth a new system of theological thought but to simply restate the mainline Protestant traditions in a way that interested Christians and early career students of theology may understand as they respond to God's call to do theology and ministry today. Despite the central role it plays in evangelical theological thought, the doctrine of predestination receives far too less attention today than it ought to in many evangelical churches and institutions. Regrettably, many teachers who attempt to teach this doctrine are often not quite versed with its theological history and the exact positions held by each mainline tradition on the subject. Therefore this book attempts to present a fairly balanced view of predestination as explained in the soteriologies of these mainline traditions. It begins with a critical account of how the Protestant movement began and then proceeds to state how the different mainline theological traditions such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Arminianism have explained predestination in their soteriologies. The book also attempts a critical comparison of each tradition and discusses how they may shape the thoughts of interested Christians and early career students of theology as they construct their own theological convictions for ministry today.
