Baptism and Eschatology
Young Adults Study Baptism and Eschatology
The connection between baptism and eschatology is significant, especially during the pre-parousia reign of Christ. It is assumed some, especially those who teach that baptism in the New Testament suggested the idea of a burial and resurrection.
However, that is not accurate. It is clear from the texts in both Romans 6 and Colossians 2 that the emphasis of baptism is "burial" as implying immersion into Christ.
However, the rising up from the waters of baptism is not what is indicated as the resurrection. This is a significant point on the discussion of baptism and ...

Nostradamus and Camping
Nostradamus and Camping at their respective times each have some common end of the world roads which never meet. They have both predicted the end of the world and nothing has happened. We are a few hours past the much publicized catastrophe announced for months by Family Radio which had many who spent thousands of dollars on billboards, signs and travel to publicize this non-rapture.
But how can people be deluded in such fashion with so many resources for them to get the knowledge and wisdom they need on the subject? Who's the blame?
While many choose to distance themselves ...

What Is the Connection Between Eschatology And The Faith?
The subject of Christ's return in AD 70 continues to be a major hurdle for believers, especially as it concerns eschatology and the faith.

(Visit the audio page to listen to an audio version of eschatology and the faith.)
To establish our premise that the faith is directly correlated with the parousia, we cite a familiar text from Old ...

Birth Pangs of A Church in Labor
What are the birth pangs of Romans 8 indicative of relative to the creation? This is a very significant term. It helps to set the context, time and significance of the events of Romans 8:18-23. The passage is related to an event which often is misunderstood and misapplied. Fortunately for us, we have a context in the Old covenant which sheds light on the meaning of the passage. We'll get to that in a moment.
At least four times in the New Testament, the inspired writers call attention to the birth pangs of the church. ...

More Tattoo Issues and the Law of Moses
In this final segment on the tattoo we examine a few of the reasons offered as a condemnation of body art and the tattoo. Rather than address each specific question which is raised on the issue, it is best to approach the subject from categories, i.e. legal, medical, social, spiritual etc.
We have address the legal issue of wearing tattoos as it applies to the covenant of Moses. See the previous posts. The Law of Moses first and foremost is no longer in effect. Many are going to stumble at this very point. Failing ...
