Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third book by the author. This book, The Unity of the Holy Spirit, is very unique in the author’s approach. He uses what he observes in 1 John to discover a key to recognizing and achieving unity and fellowship. That key in 1 John revolves around “all or none” type statements. What do those statements tell us? Like John’s theme in his letter, it answers the question – “How do you know you have fellowship with the Father and with the Son?” These “all or none” statements of John tell us one is either “in or they are out,” “in fellowship or not,” “you know God or you do not,” “you are saved or you are not.” In the statements of John, there is no middle ground. For example, John says “Except you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.” He says – “He who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” This author proposes these various “all or none” type statements throughout the New Testament are the basis of what Christians must agree on. These statements are revealed truth that we must stand on. There is no compromise with these and be a Christian. The author also addresses “issues” that divide churches. He proposes that we do not have to agree on “disputable matters,” Rom.14:1. These “issues”, though they have divided Christians for hundreds of years into over four hundred denominations, are not necessary to divide over, and it destroys the unity and effectiveness of Christians. These disputable “issues” that Paul speaks of and many more the churches divide over are a matter of individual growth and understanding in one’s Christian journey of faith. We should not “Lord it over another’s faith.” “To his master he stands or falls.” We all need time to grow and understand things throughout life. Some of these “issues” can be very serious, and sometimes can rise to the level of a need for church discipline. But, for the most part, we should not stand as judges over our brothers because we disagree over an issue. Nor should we part ways. Christians are to help each other, be patient with each other and longsuffering. Finally, there are several chapters in the book that address several aspects of unity - the attitudes and qualities that help produce unity, those who cause disunity, approaches to unity, and what is true unity and what is not. These and more are topics addressed in the book. The book is written to give churches a practical and scriptural way to approach unity. It is very different from the many creeds, church rules, and traditions that are offered as the approach to unity of churches. Churches offer a very legalistic approach that demands conformity to their beliefs to be a member, to teach or to lead in their church. Such an approach demands conformity to a particular denomination’s views and following their creeds, rather than allowing the Spirit to help the individual Christian grow and learn God's will. The growth and beliefs of individual Christians have been hi-jacked by the various well-meaning but biased denominations. This new book is very challenging to the traditions and approaches of denominations. Unity is not realized by them. They are divisions of believers that cannot fellowship each other, nor can they work together. It is time for a fresh look in how to bring Christians back together and how to work together. This is the book for those who want true unity with our brothers.

This volume is the first comprehensive study of the meaning of baptism for church unity to be written by an ecumenical group of theologians -- Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, and Baptist. These essays explore such themes as how baptism relates to the communion shared by the churches and the relationship of baptism and church unity as found in the New Testament, in the ecumenical dialogues, and in the liturgies of the churches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

Download or read book Spirit Baptism written by Verna M. Linzey and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get ready for a "Church Shift" through praying in the Spirit and thinking ecumenically, looking at key elements that unite the Church. Spirit Baptism shows how to achieve true spiritual power and genuine Church unity that transcend all barriers. Spirit baptism fulfills the hunger for the vertical relationship with God while the horizontal connection throughout the universal body of Christ is accessed through an ecumenical focus. The resulting "matrix" is reverberating worldwide. Understanding Pentecostal theology is pivotal in realizing this inter-connectedness. Dr. Verna Linzey aptly provides outstanding tools for understanding Spirit baptism. "Verna M. Linzey's book, Spirit Baptism, is a restatement of classic Pentecostal convictions on baptism in the Spirit and speaking in tongues, with the same ingenuousness and fervour which lit the flame of Pentecostalism one hundred years ago." - James Dunn "In Spirit Baptism, Verna Linzey has given this generation a fresh new look at the Pentecostal experience as experienced by millions of people worldwide in the last century." - Vinson Synan "This wonderful masterpiece deals extensively . . . with the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit." - Samhwan Kim Dr. Verna Linzey hosts "The Holy Spirit Today" television and radio broadcasts. Dr. Linzey is Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Verna Linzey Child Care Ministry based in the Philippines. In 2006, on the 100th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, Dr. Linzey was awarded the 2005 Best Non-Fiction of the Year Award by the San Diego Christian Writer's Guild for writing The Baptism with the Holy Spirit. Dr. Linzey matriculated at Southwestern Assemblies of God University, attended Church Growth Seminars in the Doctor of Ministry Program at Fuller Theological Seminary as a special guest, and received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree at Kingsway Theological Seminary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in Jesus must produce a natural love and generosity toward others and a desire for unity within the one Body of Christ. Sadly, this is not the condition of our Church today. There is much debate regarding the topic of Baptism in the Holy Spirit and it is unfortunate that people on all sides quickly dismiss others as evil or apostate. My hope is that this book will take this debate out of the hands of those who would divide the Church and place it back within the context of the whole Body of Christ. Read and discover the power of the Spirit and the bond of peace only He can provide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is believer’s baptism the clear teaching of the New Testament Scriptures? What are the historical and theological challenges to believer’s baptism? What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? Volume two in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses these compelling questions. Indeed, Believer’s Baptism begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

Download or read book One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism written by J. R. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in Jesus should produce in His followers a natural love toward others and a desire for unity within the body of Christ. Sadly, heated debate over the baptism of the Holy Spirit has often threatened that unity, resulting in unloving dismissals and accusations on differing sides. Situating the conversation within the context of brothers and sisters in dialogue, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism offers a historical theology of the doctrine of Baptism in the Holy Spirit via a critical analysis of the history of denominationalism. Additionally, the volume constructs a biblical theology of "Spirit Baptism," that paves the way forward for healing the legacy of a divided church-healing enveloped by love, generosity, and unity within the family of God.

Download or read book Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit by Jesus written by William McCracken and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit By Jesus" was written by Bill McCracken from the perspective of a layman that determined in his heart to do things God's way on October 18, 1983 and after about a year of peace found himself in a battle he wasn't prepared for by his church. This is the story of what God has taught him through the eyes of the Bible, our window to the spiritual realm. He found that through God's riches in Christ Jesus that God had given him a "Starter Kit" of truth, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, justification, glorification, holiness, remission, redemption, mercy, grace and peace with God, so we can take that "Starter Kit" and become wise, righteous, sanctified, just, trustworthy, holy, washed in His Word, redeemed, merciful, compassionate peacemakers so that he could go into spiritual warfare knowing who he is in Christ Jesus. Bill also found that we as Christians are all one in Christ Jesus according to Galatians 3:26-28 and that God's Word says that God wants no divisions among his people in First Corinthians 1:10 plus other scriptures that tell us to be in one accord, likeminded, of one mind, that we all speak the same thing, that we be perfectly joined together and that we should all come together in the unity of the faith. Sadly, Bill found that Christianity is deeply divided and splintered with over 38,000 different denominations worldwide and 1,500 in the United States alone. We must come together as one and defeat our one and only enemy, satan and his demons. Fortunately, when Bill came to God he literally did not know an epistle from an apostle and God could take that empty vessel and fill it with the truth from God's Word. He received the baptism of the Holy Ghost on November 26, 1983 and then could could begin to teach him through ministering to others, failure or experience (the fire), books and tapes, preaching and it's amazing what you learn when you look up a word in a Bible concordance and learn the definition from the Greek dictionary. You know the definition, and then see how God teaches it in the Bible and it really isn't that difficult. Learn about God's Starter Kit by Jesus, born again, repentance, baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire and the armor of God. Learn what a "fiery dart" is and how to defeat the "fiery darts of the wicked" and the story of satan and God's plan through Christ Jesus that defeated him. Learn about the covenant God has made with His children through His Son and then the authority He has given Christians in the spiritual realm in the Name of Jesus. Revelation 12:11, "And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus-The Word of God), and by the word of their testimony." Our testimony is very important to help others overcome the works of the devil when we combine it with the works of the cross and the Word of God. First John 3:8, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." God's blessings-Bill McCracken
