The Cross and Salvation (Hardcover)


Book Description

With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

Soteriology:


Book Description

THIS SINGLE-PERSPECTIVE, ONENESS THEOLOGICAL Argument was systematically written with the sole purpose of providing Biblical truth, better understanding and clarity, as well as Divine-revelation to all individuals with regard to an extremely misunderstood subject matter-Soteriology: The Doctrine of Salvation. Now, in achieving this objective, I have chosen to utilize a simple, but, yet, in-depth approach of the Word of God. In short, several non-contradictory, non-argumentative Scriptures have been utilized, in order to provide whatever is useful and necessary in achieving complete understanding of this grossly misunderstood subject matter. With this said, I would like to submit the following thesis statement as the central assertion of this theological paper: Despite what Christianity (in general) affirms, Water-baptism in Jesus name as well as Fire-baptism with the gift of The Holy Ghost are both essential for the process of Sanctification, leading to complete Biblical salvation-Glorification. The general presupposition, then, rests solely upon the following Claim: Christianity is the faith, doctrine, system, and practice of the religion originally established by Jesus Christ on The Day of Pentecost in A.D. 33 that has been "carried-over" via Continuationism. False doctrine, then, is to be considered to hold to any other form of faith, doctrine, system, and practice that is contrary to Oneness Apostolic-Pentecostal Christianity. With this said, then, upon further examination of Scripture, the viewpoint of Secular Christianity (so-called Orthodoxy Christianity), Catholicism, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. is proven to be laden with numerous Scriptural inconsistencies. Now, in doing my own Biblical research, I have come to find much error that has been taught within other religious denominations as being truth, unfortunately. Now, contrary to standard expository writing guidelines, it is my professional opinion that this has occurred due to a lack of Biblical understanding as well as faulty Biblical research on the part of the religious leaders of these religions-causing, sadly enough, improper hermeneutical and exegetical doctrinal teaching regarding The Plan of Salvation. With this said, this Single-perspective, Oneness Theological Argument will be presented from a purely Apostolic Doctrinal perspective-God's perspective. As you carefully read and examine this Oneness Theological Thesis, I ask that you sincerely pray-seeking after The Wisdom of God-asking God to reveal His truth, and to provide complete understanding of this profound subject matter. But, most importantly, to reveal the Godhead and the Divine-ordinance as well as the spiritual significance of Water-baptism in Jesus name and Fire-baptism with the gift of The Holy Ghost (with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives the utterance) as being the true Biblical stand regarding being Born-again-as clearly described within John 3:3, 5 and Acts 2:38.
