I'm curious, Max, as to what you think our minimum confession consists of as it pertains to salvation?

I think at the time he published that he was planting a church in Wheaton, IL.

I've often wondered if Paul Ferguson was still alive and teaching/preaching and if he had other books available.

He informed me that his main impetus for study is Archaeology or the Historical Jesus. He might publish at a later time but he was not sure on that issue.

This whole "Three Step or Hell" thing is dying. It simply cannot be maintained in a world with a free flow of information. Too many lies have to be told to substantiate the whole house of cards.

We've built a house of cards on a foundation of sand, and we wonder why our kids drop out of church as soon as they're educated.

I wish I'd have found this forum three years ago!

You are right Sabby. There is a lot of good to be gleaned here.
