Finney, lauded by many as a great Christian revivalist, was a heretical rascal of the first order. Some of his blasphemous quotes include... "The doctrine of imputed righteousness, or that Christ's obedience to the Law was accounted as our obedience, is founded on a most false and nonsensical assumption." Lectures on Systematic Theology, pg. 320 "It is not founded in Christ's literally suffering the exact penalty of the law for them, and in this sense literally purchasing their justification and eternal salvation." Lectures on Systematic Theology, pg. 373 Finney said that Christ "could do no more than justify himself. It can never be imputed to us... it was naturally impossible, then, for him to obey on our behalf." Moreover, he claimed that this doctrine "of representing the atonement as the ground of the sinner's justification has been a sad occasion of stumbling to many." Lectures on Systematic Theology, pg. 732 [Download the attached PDF to read more select quotes] [Sign up to receive free daily email devotionals when you 'Click here to follow the external link =>' above] https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/1129212210397826 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:42:23 no Jon Cardwell - Church History https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/112321193412565 I.

The two former were necessary to the Christian life; the two latter were not, but were concessions to the Jewish feelings of the stricter party. The conclusion may be called a compromise, but it was one dictated by the desire for unity, and had nothing unworthy in it. There should be giving and taking on both sides. If the Jewish Christians made, to them, the immense concession of waiving the necessity of circumcision, the Gentile section might surely make the small one of abstinence from things strangled and from blood. Similarities in diet would daily assimilate the lives of the two parties, and would be a more visible and continuous token of their oneness than the single act of circumcision." https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/2162128492291 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:47:40 no Jon Cardwell - Church History https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/1262165363750 A SPIRIT-DIRECTED MISSION (ch. 14) A.

PATTERN FOR CONSIDERATION (from previous lessons) The proclamation of the gospel must be proceeded by the power of the Holy Spirit. Heavenly power comes by obedience to Christ (Acts 1:4), prayer (Acts 1:14), and the Word of God (Acts 1:20). See Acts 6:2-3 Does the episode in Acts 3 follow this same pattern? If ‘yes,' how so? If ‘no,' why not? Consider this verse when pondering this pattern: “And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren” (Genesis 24:27). https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/982017227806 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +0000 Jon Cardwell 0:37:12 no Jon Cardwell - Church History https://www.cbcninilchik.com/sermons/82720111165947 I.
