Teaching Doctrine

“An excellent small group study.” – Rev. Travis Knoll In a time of upheaval in the largest denomination of the Methodist movement, this classic explanation and defense of Methodist Christianity by its founder is required reading. Pastor David Wentz has updated Wesley’s 18th-century language, deleted references to no-longer-relevant theological disputes, and added an introduction that sets the work in context. The result is a clear, easy to read text that is enjoyable and understandable for modern readers of all levels of theological interest and expertise. This short book is ideal ...

Abridged from Wayne Grudem's award-winning Systematic Theology, Bible Doctrine provides a more accessible starting point for understanding the essentials of the faith, giving you a firm grasp on seven key topics: the word of God, the doctrine of God, humanity, Christ, the application of redemption, the church, and the future.

Millions or maybe billions of Christians worldwide have experienced speaking with tongues. It is believed that believers of literally every Christian faith have had this experience. There are four main reasons for this experience to take place through a believer. This book will give you a clear concise breakdown of each of the four purposes, supported by many Bible verses. I am convinced that God gave this Bible study to me so that I might pass it along to you. It is a bit difficult studying on your own, especially on a subject you've never heard or only heard one view. I take scripture ...

In this important work addressing a significant gap in current theological literature, the authors argue that by jettisoning a doctrine of good works, the contemporary church contradicts historical Protestantism and, more importantly, biblical teaching.

The Catholic Church defines the seven sacraments as “efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us.” Do you regularly partake of these “efficacious signs of grace?” Catholic clergy, religious, and laity alike declare the wonderful blessings of the sacraments. Yet, many people still have questions. What are the seven sacraments? When did Jesus institute the sacraments? How did the Church recognize the sacraments? Why should Christians receive the sacraments? Father Pierre Pourrat (1871-1957) answers these ...

Have you ever questioned the justice of sentencing a teenage child, who died before placing his faith in Jesus, to the fires of hell; a place producing such painful suffering and agony that will cause him to wail and gnash his teeth throughout the trillions of years of eternity? Does this sound like a just punishment for this teenager’s sixteen years of life on earth? Have you wondered why the loving and merciful Jesus that you have read about in the Gospels would do such a thing? Does it bother you that the doctrine of Calvinism is accepted in the Christian Church, although it teaches ...

With the exception of Christianity, the major religions of the world have a peculiar doctrine in common. Though it goes by many names, the belief in Multiple Mortal Probations is held by most of earth's inhabitants, so why isn't it taught among Christianity? Traces of the doctrine can be found in the Bible, and other precious remnants of it are preserved in biblical apocryphal texts. Was the concept of multiple lives once taught among biblical peoples, but lost through the doctrinal biases of the members of the Second Council of Constantinople? If so, could this be the single potentially ...

THIS IS THE CONDENSED EBOOK VERSION- also see the lengthier version titled: "French Huguenot Protestant Reformation Movement: Historical Events and Beliefs of Christian Protestantism" (similar cover and 13,900 words). Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice even today but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you’re Protestant? That’s because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event . I honor the ...

Have you ever wondered what the Catholic Church teaches about the pope? Who established the papacy? What is the role of the pope? Why does the Church need the pope? Is it possible that Catholic teaching about the papacy reflects the authentic teaching of Jesus, has been taught by the Church since the apostolic era, and describes the mechanism by which Jesus choses to preserve and proclaim the deposit of faith? Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick (1796-1863) wrote The Primacy of the Apostolic See to answer these questions and more, with scholarship, compassion, and love. Jesus said: “And I tell...

This book will examine four more false doctrines and practices within the contemporary Christian Church. I wish that I could say that these are the only false teachings and practices that are occurring within the Church. However, unfortunately, that is not the case. The number of false dogmas present in today’s Church cannot be counted on the fingers of both my hands. This is why I have written numerous doctrinal books over the past two years exposing these doctrinal compromises. It is now time to expose the false teachings in The Star of Bethlehem DVD and in the doctrine of Preterism, ...

This book (Approx. 154,172 words in length -- 113 Chapters) contains many of my book titles on the subject of Holy Bible doctrines from a fundamental Christian faith perspective. While some chapters include aspects of what some Christians refer to as "Pentecostal" or "charismatic" beliefs, due to mentions of miraculous events and of the supernatural "gifts of the Spirit" as described in the New Testament, the majority of Bible teachings included, are beliefs held by a majority of fundamental Christian believers but with aspects included that you do not often hear coming from the pulpits of ...

Both our concept of God and our daily life as Christians are shaped by what we hear in church. Unfortunately, some of the things that are most repeated in church culture are also those things that are least true. Lies My Pastor Told Me confronts 18 of these church clichés with the gospel of Jesus Christ and shows how each one robs Jesus of the glory he deserves and rob his people of the true good he has for them. Cole Brown writes from his own experience, having heard, believed and even taught these lies. The arguments used in the book to correct these lies are the same lies he found in ...

Stated simply, the Genesis Gap is the belief that angels rebelled against God at a time not revealed but that was obviously previous to Adam and Eve, who were given dominion of the Earth, after it was destroyed by God and recreated. This is why we see a finished heaven and Earth in Genesis 1:1, followed by an Earth that is covered by darkness and a catastrophic flood of water in verse two.
