Defying the law (but only after he had been refused official per- mission), he began translating from the Greek, just as Luther had. By August 1525 his translation of the New Testament was complete. Printing began at Cologne, Germany, but authorities destroyed nearly all known copies (I think only one is known today).

  • Key Issues in Baptist Theology
    SECTION 2 KEY ISSUES IN BAPTIST THEOLOGY There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. EPHESIANS 4:4-6 JBTM The Bible and Theology 72 THE FUTURE OF BAPTIST THEOLOGY WITH A LOOK AT ITS PAST James Leo Garrett, Jr., D.Phil. Dr. Garrett is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Historical and Systematic Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, Texas Looking Back on Four Centuries of Baptist Theology The Chief Differentiating Theological Issues among Baptists rom my studies of the four-century history of Baptist theology1 I have come to the Fconclusion that the principal differentiating issues among Baptists during the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries were the Calvinistic-Arminian differences, or to be more specific, the issues that differentiate the Reformed Synod of Dort (1618-1619) and the followers of Jacob Arminius, who framed the five Remonstrant Articles (1610). I have also concluded that the chief differentiating doctrinal issues for Baptists during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were the liberal-evangelical issues. Now, let’s first take a look at the Calvinistic-Arminian debate. These differences were initially manifested in the separate and distinct origins of the General and the Particular Baptists in England. They are essentially soteriological, dealing with the relationship of the divine and the human in our salvation. I have challenged the accuracy of the commonly used acronym to specify the Dortian doctrines, the TULIP, for it was not so much total depravity that separated these two theological systems from the Arminian viewpoint as it was the nature of repentance and faith— whether they are the gifts of God or the responses of human beings.

    AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENT BAPTIST NEWSLETTER OCTOBER, 2014 David C. Bennett, D. Min. (Editor) Standing unashamedly for the King James Bible Blog: www.whatyareckon.wordpress.com David Cloud gives thirteen reasons why he is not a Southern Baptist which may be read at http://www.wayoflife.org/database/whynotsbc.html. However, it seems to be a trend for many independent Baptist churches and schools to affiliate themselves with the Southern Baptist Convention. http://www.tntemple.edu/news-blog/affirmed TTU affirmed by The Tennessee Baptist Convention (Edited by DCB) - With at least two former GARBC approved schools now waving the SBC flag it should come as no surprise that Tennessee Temple University has also been accepted into the SBC fold. “At this year’s Tennessee Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, TTU had a booth for the first time in the history of our school.” “During the session, the Tennessee Baptist Convention unanimously adopted a resolution of support as follows” “WHEREAS, Tennessee Temple University has adopted the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as its doctrinal position; and” “WHEREAS, Tennessee Temple University has a lifelong Southern Baptist as its president and most of its faculty members are Southern Baptists; and WHEREAS, Tennessee Temple University is enjoying a season of refreshing that includes the possibility of relocating to a more suitable environment on the property of a Southern Baptist Church.” http://www.tntemple.edu/ Tennessee Temple University’s new home is Southern Baptist Church Woodland Park Baptist, Chattanooga, Tennessee. With TTU firmly in the Southern Baptist fold one begins to wonder what all the fuss was about initially when Lee Roberson separated from the SBC? Has the SBC changed? http://woodlandpark.org/ministries/missions/missionconf/ Mission Conference 2014 – February 5-9 Keynote Speaker: Dr.
