Pilgrim said:- How does EE fare compared to the Gospel of the Bible, Reformers and Puritans? Do you see a difference? If so what differences do you perceive?
My first church taught decisional regeneration and used the book "
Evangelism
Explosion" by the late D. James Kennedy in a disipleship class.
Their heart was in the right place but their communication of the Gospel flawed i.e. God loves you, Christ died for you and now it's up to you to use the power of your will to receive Him. Kennedy although a Prysbyterian and having one hair forty-five feet long weaved across the top of his head in my opinion was
not reformed in his soteriology (the study of how God saves an individual whom He has chosen).
The quote below is from an article found
HERE states that "our message must be the same"
"Each person we meet is different and is living in different circumstances, thus our approach will vary. BUT our message must be the same. . . ." [/i]
and that is the "BIBLICAL MESSAGE" contained in the the first four of the traditional six loci (topics) of
Reformed dogmatics, the doctrines of God, man, Christ, salvation, church, and last things.
Our job is to be salt and light and to show Christ like love by telling the world
- The truth about God
- The truth about man
- The truth about Christ
- and the truth about Salvation
Now if you will excuse me I must continue writing a "Great American Novel" and hopefully a more accomplished/qualified writer will respond.
Have a good "Lords Day"
