Yeah, I like him that little I've heard him. I was suppose to see him live 4ish months ago, but the church was full so I drove back home.Try Voddie Baucham.
I saw a show with Sproul and Ferguson and Sproul seemed to imply that he held Ferguson a step above the others.... or so it seemed to me. Sproul didn't put it that way, but I got that impression.Voddie is Awesome! But my favorite living is Sinclair Ferguson
Another one of my favorites was, James Boice.I saw a show with Sproul and Ferguson and Sproul seemed to imply that he held Ferguson a step above the others.... or so it seemed to me. Sproul didn't put it that way, but I got that impression.
And of course, Iain Murray.Another one of my favorites was, James Boice.
Hey.... I don't think the definition "Favorite" allows for more than one ... *giggle*Another one of my favorites was, James Boice.
I could never pick a favorite. So, there is a list of them. And it sure doesn't contain Osteen .Hey.... I don't think the definition "Favorite" allows for more than one ... *giggle*
Make the list of favorites long enough and Joel Osteen might make the list *ducks for cover*
I cut my teeth on his audio exposition of the whole gospel of Matthew.Yeah, I like him that little I've heard him. I was suppose to see him live 4ish months ago, but the church was full so I drove back home.
I've got John MacAuthur as favorite living theologian ... but that's subject to change.
Cut your teeth?I cut my teeth on his audio exposition of the whole gospel of Matthew.
And you had six girls!Cut your teeth?
Ouch! That sounds painful. You okay?
I've got MacArthur's New Testament Commentary .... he's long winded in it, but I like it most timesI cut my teeth on his audio exposition of the whole gospel of Matthew.
First Biblical exposition I ever heard.I've got MacArthur's New Testament Commentary .... he's long winded in it, but I like it most times
And you had six girls!
Well, not to be outdone, I have six brothers.
P.S. And them's is bi-i-g boys.
Yes my experience raises the hackles when I see the same wording they use to justify the displays. And yes, I was a bit heavy handed in my response.Actually I did not. I was referencing events attested in Scripture
I have never denied any of this, and when I speak of there being no subsequent "fillings" by the Holy Spirit I am not referring to the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. I suspect we are on a parallel track right now, you and I in this conversation, where we actually agree in what we are presenting but have two different pictures in our mind. In my mind the filling is linked to the distinction that is made in charismatic circles between the innitain infilling and frequent baptisms in the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues and wild and crazy displays of emotion and foolishness, that are seen as being the Holy Spirit on them, when it is nothing but the flesh. It is counted as being super spiritual.*So, yes, we agree there is only one initial indwelling, but that is not the end but the beginning of the Spirit's work in our lives, ethically but also in other ways. However one wants to phrase it, anointing, infilling, falling, refreshing, etc... I often suspect we don't have the vocabulary to adequately describe God's supernatural work... But whatever words we use, however one tries to describe it, what seems clear in the NT is that believers didn't simply receive the Spirit in an academic way, but in a real, tangible, empowering, life changing transformative way that continued after their first reception of the Spirit.
One of my favorites of Voddie, and it is older, also one of the first ones I saw, is The Rescuer. That is worth a watch, Let me know if you see it what you think. Hey I'll post it here.Yeah, I like him that little I've heard him. I was suppose to see him live 4ish months ago, but the church was full so I drove back home.

Thanks ... I'll take a look ... probably tomorrow... have to finish watching THE FLASH tonight... *smile*One of my favorites of Voddie, and it is older, also one of the first ones I saw, is The Rescuer. That is worth a watch, Let me know if you see it what you think. Hey I'll post it here.
Are we judged for Adam's sin or for our own sins? Are the unredeemed paying for Adam's sin or their own? The imputed sin of Adam to us is an external quality, the ruin of our standing before God. An objective reckoning. Original sin is the ruin of our character--internal.However, that is not what imputation means. It means that we are accounted guilty of Adam's sin.
Priorities man! Just kidding.Thanks ... I'll take a look ... probably tomorrow... have to finish watching THE FLASH tonight... *smile*
Yes @fastfredy0 I think you should watch it now. HahaPriorities man! Just kidding.
I have no idea to what "wording" you referYes my experience raises the hackles when I see the same wording they use to justify the displays. And yes, I was a bit heavy handed in my response
We see abuses in every denomination and major branch of Christianity whether Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox. But we must be careful not to let hypocrisy and abuses by others push us to the other extreme of throwing the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit out with the proverbial bathwater. I've seen many of the abuses you describe. I've also seen the 'real thing.' To me it's not a charismatic vs non-charismatic thing, but God's empowering presence available to *all* believers of every denomination.In my mind the filling is linked to the distinction that is made in charismatic circles between the innitain infilling and frequent baptisms in the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues and wild and crazy displays of emotion and foolishness, that are seen as being the Holy Spirit on them, when it is nothing but the flesh.
