Christianity 201 Guidelines

orthodox Christians only.

Discussion on matters of general mainstream evangelical Christian theology that do not fit within Theology 201. Have some spiritual gifts ceased today? Is the KJV the only viable translation for the church today? In what sense are the books of the bible inspired and what are those books? Church government? Modern day prophets and apostles?

This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and Christians. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” or "orthodox" for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.

Additionally and rarely, there may be some topics or lines of discussion that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine (in general Christian circles or in the TheologyWeb community) or that deny certain core values that are the Christian convictions of forum leadership that may be more appropriately placed within Unorthodox Theology 201. NO personal offense should be taken by such discretionary decision for none is intended. While inerrancy is NOT considered a requirement for posting in this section, a general respect for the Bible text and a respect for the inerrantist position of others is requested.

The Tweb rules apply here like they do everywhere at Tweb, if you haven't read them, now would be a good time.

    The book is excellent, though long. Some of the miracles related are explicable through natural means, like a spleen regrowing. Others are not.
    I listend to a talk he gave and he referred to man regrowing his small intestines. Did he provide evidence in the form of records, doc interviews, etc?

      I don't remember him mentioning that in the book (maybe happened after he published it). Probably this is the case in question? https://jamesbishopblog.com/2016/11/...o-obstruction/

          I'll check through Miracles later tonight to see if he mentions it.

There are Catholics who believe in praying in tongues and occasional operations in prophecy, they definitely wouldn't be considered denominationally "Pentecostal". I think both are possible (as probably do most of the people on this forum who are not strict cessationists), and I don't consider myself Pentecostal, but I'm fine with accepting the label charismatic.
            That's pretty much my view of the terminology. But Gordon Fee has been even more emphatic in rejecting "separate and subsequent" and "messages" in tongues, but still calls himself "Pentecostal" and still remains part of the AG. (In his case, the fact of his lifelong association with Pentecostalism and the AG in particular may be part of the reason for his directly addressing points of Pentecostalism -- and AG "Fundamental Truths" -- that he disputes.)

            I'm fine with either label for myself.

              I can't commentate on that particular case, as I don't have the books in front of me. When he can, he provides evidence from physicians and interviews with the miracle claimants.

                I just checked my volumes, and I can't find that particular incident, nor the name of the individual or his doctor in either volume (and the sources are extremely thorough). Not saying it's not in there someplace, but I couldn't find it.
