I can answer questions about Christian doctrine. I have over twenty-two years of formal education and served in Christian ministry for almost thirty-five years. My specialties are in the areas of doctrine, hermeneutics, history, apologetics, and philosophy.
I have a vast and broad education in all the areas of study needed to be able to correctly recognize what the writers of the Bible wanted their readers to understand. I have taught biblical doctrine for many years to thousands of people, many of whom exclaimed that I was the best of the best when it came to helping people be confident of what the truth really is.
I like knowing the truth about what the Bible teaches so that I never need to feel afraid that I am being lied to or defrauded. I like helping others to come to that level of assurance and knowledge.
I hope to convince people that we can know what the Bible actually teaches.
One of the things that most people do not know is that the popular understanding of the term "faith" is not the understanding used by the writers of the Bible. The popular concept of "faith" is the same as that used by those people in the Bible who were worshippers of false gods and followers of false teachers.
I think that the most controversial thing about this subject is that so many people are so unnecessarily wrong about the nature of Christian doctrine and the biblical God.

Hi Dave, I'm not sure I understand your first question. As for your second question: The New Testament writers plainly indicate that the "miracles" performed by the apostles and other Christians ceased
Benjamine, Baptismal regeneration is a false teaching the same as the popular salvation by faith alone, the once saved always saved teaching, and the inherited depravity teaching. All of these are false
Hello Benjamine, You need to read Acts 1 and 2 again. It very plainly does not say what you are saying. The miraculous manifestation of the Spirit came only on the apostles who had gathered there. The
Answer to 1. No. First, the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles, not those that were listening to Peter. The promise of the Holy Spirit is fulfilled when a person is baptized and not before. Baptism is
Hello Benjamine, Please take time to read this carefully. I know that you don't like having your beliefs questioned but you asked me what a person was supposed to "feel" when they were born again and
