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.

  • One Hope Movement

    Some of us (locally) have been talking about the possibility of an area-wide Revival service.

    We were thinking about something in the Spring of 2021, because it takes LOTS of planning and prayer.

    Then I got an email from onehopemovement.com about an event in College Station in the spring of 2020.

    Anybody know anything about them? From their statement of faith, they look good, but I'd really like to know more about them.

        The guy actually called me back 5 minutes after I emailed an inquiry.

        Interesting story.

        He was at a football game at Texas A&M's Kyle Field in 2015 with 105,000 other people watching A&M football, when (he says) the Lord put it on his heart "what would it be like if these people were hearing about Jesus instead of watching football".

        Long story short, after lots of prayer, the funding just 'materialized' and sponsors showed up to rent Kyle Field for April 25 - a Saturday - for an "area-wide event".

        I've looked at the list of sponsor churches and organizations, and I actually personally know a lot of those pastors, so.... I'm still checking it out.

        As I was thinking "this could be a launching pad for our own area-wide revival in 2021" he said "maybe this could be a springboard for your event in 2021".

          Sounds like this might be one of those times God hits you on the head with a sledgehammer to get your attention.

            In our conversation, it sounded as if he had been listening to my "we need revival" speeches, and checked every box. Then I thought I would call Jim Richards - a biggie with the Southern Baptists of Texas - to get his perspective, and out of the blue this guy says "I had a meeting with Jim Richards of the SBTC on Monday, and he's on board!" I hadn't even mentioned Richards to him.

              I have been at sermons where the preacher starts talking about something I had been thinking/worrying about, and it is like he is speaking directly to me.

                Oh, yeah - you know what's worse? When I'm preaching and I say something that, in my own head, I realize is aimed right at ME!

                  I don't envy you at all. I couldn't be a preacher. Way too much responsibility.

                    Or even WORSE.....

                    When we were getting ready for our Franklin Graham event in College Station, the Billy Graham "Christian Life and Witness" course was taught in my Church. The guy who was teaching it had been a tank commander in Desert Storm.

                    Several times, he referred to how his guys would get whiny or lazy or get to complaining, and he would say "Suck it up and drive on, soldier!"

                    Well, I used that in a sermon illustration, and that week, one of my Deacons did something stupid, and I was grumbling about it at home. My wife reached out and took my chin in her hand, looked me in the eyes, and said "suck it up and drive on, soldier!"
