  • Chapter Xiv Baptist Successionism
    CHAPTER XIV BAPTIST SUCCESSIONISM The devious strategy of associating the Received Text with the aforementioned medieval sects, which are alleged to have descended in an unbroken succession from the New Testament Church, has its roots in a larger movement known as ―Baptist Successionism‖ or ―Landmarkism.‖ This movement is based on a misapplication of Proverbs 22:28 which is removed from its context and applied to Baptist ecclesiology. In its context of Proverbs 22, ―Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set‖ was a prohibition against removing ancient markers, usually stones, which identified the established boundaries of a piece of land. The Baptist Successonists claim that the ―ancient landmark‖ of their movement is not the Protestant Reformation but the New Testament Church, and that their founder was John the Baptist. Landmark Baptists reject, not only identification of Baptists with other Protestant denominations, they deny the existence of a universal Church and recognize only Baptists as having a direct succession from the apostles. The pseudo history of Baptist Successionism is today preached by Fundamentalist Baptist KJV-Only preachers such as David Cloud: ―We have now seen that the Baptists, who were formerly called Anabaptists...were the original Waldenses, and have long in the history of the Church received the honor of that origin. On this account, the Baptists may be considered the only Christian community which has stood since the apostles, and as a Christian society which has preserved pure the doctrines of the Gospel through all ages.‖ (David Cloud, Way of Life Encyclopedia, Roman Catholic Dominion 500- 1500 A.D.) The Landmark teaching was first introduced in the U.S.

  • Daniel Strange Clark H. Pinnock: the Evolution of an Evangelical Maverick
    EQ 71:4 (1999), 311-326 Daniel Strange Clark H. Pinnock: The Evolution of an Evangelical Maverick The theological debate awakened by the work ofDr Clark Pinnock has figured more than once in the EVANGEUCAL QUARTERLY in recent years. The submission oftwo arti­ cles on the topic, the one dealing with the general development ofPinnock ~ theology and the other with the specific question ofexclusivism and inclusivism, suggested that it might be worthwhile to publish them together and also give the subject the opportunity to comment on them. The author of our first article is doing doctoral research on the problem of the unevangelised in recent evangelical theology in the University ofBristol. Key words: Theology; religion; inclusivism; Pinnock. ! Some theologians are idealogues, so cocksure about the truth that they are willing to force reality to fit into their own system; others are not so sure and permit reality to ch~nge them and their systems instead. I am a theologian 1 of the latter type. ! ' In this paper I wish t~; give a biographical study of the Canadian Baptist theologi~, Clark H.iPinnock, giving a flavour of his pi~grimage in the­ ology WhICh has spar;ned five decades. In understanding the current work of a particular sC,holar, it is always helpful to understand the con­ text within which he or she works, the theological background from which they have come, and the influences that have shaped their thought. From this it may even be possible to predict where they will go next in their theological journey. Within the Evangelical community, especially in North America, Clark Pinnock is one of the most stimulating, controversial and influ­ ential theologians, and a study of his work raises important questions about the nature and identity of contemporary Evangelicalism.

  • Armstrongism and the Worldwide Church Of
    Armstrongism and the Worldwide Church of God I. WHERE THIS CULT ORIGINATED A. This cult can be traced back to a man by the name of Herbert W. Armstrong and his supposed divine appointments. 1. Herbert Armstrong started out his career asa promotional and advertising man in Des Moines, Iowa in 1912. But in 1920 his advertising business failed in what he described as a flash depression 2. In 1924 Armstrong moved to Oregon and on two more separate occasions his business enterprises `failed because of what he described as "forces beyond his control". 3. Sometime between 1924 and 1931 Armstrong was supposedly converted and began to write and do evangelistic work. 4. It is interesting to note that Armstrong's conversion came about through his wife's discovery and it was a conversion to what she had found. She believed that obedience to God's spiritual laws which were summed upin the ten commandments was necessary for salvation. 5. Armstrong at first set out to prove that his wife was wrong but later he concluded that she had indeed found the truth which meant to him that most of Christendom was not proclaiming the truth. 6. Armstrong was ordained in Eugene, Oregon in 1931 and began to conductevangelistic campaigns there. 7. In January 1934 Armstrong began a radio program in Eugene~ Oregon entitled "The World Tomorrow" and with his incredible speaking and promotional abilities he launched his cultist career filled with all kinds of false and heretical teachings. 8. At exactly 10A.M. on January 1934 Armstrong declared this to be the starting point of the fulfillment of 90% of all Bible prophecies.

  • God, the Bible and Spiritual Warfare: a Review Article D
    14-Carson_JETS 42.2 Page 251 Thursday, May 20, 1999 11:37 AM JETS 42/2 (June 1999) 251–269 GOD, THE BIBLE AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE: A REVIEW ARTICLE D. A. CARSON* Many readers of these pages will know Boyd through his earlier and im- pressive work, Cynic, Sage, or Son of God? Recovering the Real Jesus in an Age of Revisionist Replies (1995). Boyd’s most recent book, God at War: The Bible and Spiritual Con˘ict (InterVarsity, 1997), is less interested in re- sponding to various reconstructions of the historical Jesus largely grounded in an over-dependence on Greco-Roman background tinged by philosophical naturalism than in establishing a line of thought that Boyd judges to be central in Scripture and that is largely misunderstood or distorted in contem- porary evangelicalism. There are two agendas operating in this book. On the one hand, we are treated to a Biblical theology of God as warrior, in some ways formally rem- iniscent of the recent book by Tremper Longman, III, and Daniel G. Reid, God Is a Warrior (1995), though with a very diˆerent theology. On the other hand, Boyd oˆers an understanding of God and a related theodicy that are highly reminiscent of the “open God” theology advanced and defended by Clark Pinnock, Roger Olson, William Hasker and others. In his introduction (“The Normativity of Evil Within a Warfare World- view”), Boyd reminds the reader of Daniel’s experience. After praying and fasting for three weeks, Daniel was visited by an angel who told Daniel that his prayer had been heard immediately, and that the angel himself had been immediately dispatched.

  • The Origin, Theology, Transmission, and Recurrent Impact of Landmarkism in the Southern Baptist Convention (1850-2012)
    THE ORIGIN, THEOLOGY, TRANSMISSION, AND RECURRENT IMPACT OF LANDMARKISM IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (1850-2012) by JAMES HOYLE MAPLES submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject CHURCH HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Supervisor: PROF M. H. MOGASHOA March 2014 © University of South Africa ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH DOCTORAL PROJECT UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Title: THE ORIGIN, THEOLOGY, TRANSMISSION, AND RECURRENT IMPACT OF LANDMARKISM IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (1850-2012) Name of researcher: James Hoyle Maples Promoter: M. H. Mogashoa, Ph.D. Date Completed: March 2014 Landmarkism was a sectarian view of Baptist church history and practice. It arose in the mid-eighteenth century and was a dominant force in the first half-century of the life of the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest Protestant denomination. J. R. Graves was its chief architect, promoter, and apologist. He initiated or helped propagate controversies which shaped Southern Baptist life and practice. His influence spread Landmarkism throughout the Southern Baptist Convention through religious periodicals, books, and educational materials. Key Landmark figures in the seminaries and churches also promoted these views. After over fifty years of significant impact the influence of Landmarkism seemed to diminish eventually fading from sight. Many observers of Southern Baptist life relegated it to a movement of historical interest but no current impact. In an effort to examine this assumption, research was conducted which explored certain theological positions of Graves, other Landmarkers, and sects claimed as the true church by the promoters of Baptist church succession.

  • A Reponse to Andrew Purves' Paper
    A Reponse to Andrew Purves’ Paper­­ “‘I Yet Not I But Christ:’ Galatians 2:20 and the Christian Life in the Theology of T. F. Torrance” for the Thomas F. Torrance Fellowship Annual Meeting November 18, 2005 by the Rev. Dr. Jeannine Michele Graham I wish to thank Dr. Andrew Purves for a well­thought­out, clearly articulated, faithful rendering of such a fundamental Torrancian concept as the vicarious humanity of Christ, particularly as it finds expression in the theological implications which underlie Galatians 2:20. This is actually the second version of the remarks I originally wrote to be presented here. I suppose it might have been easier to respond to a paper with which I have strident disagreements. But inasmuch as I resonate so strongly with the theological insights of both Thomas and James Torrance, having had the privilege of studying with James in my postgraduate years, I found myself tending to reiterate what you had already said, though lacking your admirable conciseness. Thus, you have presented me with a delightful problem. Aside from my inclination to want to emit an “Amen! Preach it, brother,” I trust you would appreciate more than a hearty hurrah. So I have tried to consult my own life and teaching experiences to identify aspects of this subject which might invite further clarification or development, especially points which either my students or lay people in general have struggled to grasp as they have had occasion to become acquainted with this paradigm of the vicarious humanity of Christ. As I was engaged in rethinking what I might say here, I have at the same time been challenged to think theologically in the midst of a very disturbing event that occurred within the particular existential context of my life in Spokane, WA.

One version of the argument from reason is what Victor Reppert calls “the argument from the psychological relevance of logical laws,” or what I call “the argument from logical principles.” This argument has received little attention in the literature, despite being advanced by Victor Reppert, Karl Popper, and Thomas Nagel.

  • Imitation of Christ-Layout-12072017.Indd
    BOOK ONE Practical advice about the spiritual life 1. we must take christ for our model, and despise the shams of earth He who follows me can never walk in darkness,1 our Lord says. Here are words of Christ, words of warning; if we want to see our way truly, never a trace of blindness left in our hearts, it is his life, his character, we must take for our model. Clearly, then, we must make it our chief business to train our thoughts upon the life of Jesus Christ. 2. Christ’s teaching—how it overshadows all the Saints have to teach us! Could we but master its spirit, what a store of hidden manna we should find there! How is it that so many of us can hear the Gospel read out again and again, with so little emotion? Because they haven’t got the spirit of Christ; that is why. If a man wants to understand Christ’s words fully, and relish the flavourSAMPLE of them, he must be one who is trying to fashion his whole life on Christ’s model. 3. Talk as learnedly as you will about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, it will get you no thanks from the Holy Trinity if you aren’t humble about it. After all, it isn’t learned talk that saves a man or makes a Saint of him; only a life well lived can claim God’s friendship. For myself, I would sooner know what contrition feels like, than how to define it. Why, if you had the whole of Scripture and all the maxims of the philosophers at your finger-tips, what would be the use of it all, without God’s love and God’s grace? 1 Jn 8:12.
