Tradition or Truth?: The Question for the American Protestant Church - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This book is the culmination of 50 plus years of teaching New Testament and church history classes at church. It includes my heart-felt concern that the current American Protestant Church is teaching tradition more than truth. The church’s major function is to lead people to faith in Christ and to disciple those believers. My chief concern at this point in my life is that the church is teaching a salvation tradition from Luther—become a Christian by praying—and trying to live the Christian life without the leading of the Holy Spirit. Most Protestant Churches do not accept the current activity of the Holy Spirit in terms of the gifts of the Holy Spirit because of a doctrine that the gifts ceased operation when the New Testament was written. I examine the “prayer salvation message” and the Holy Spirit activity in the church in this book. I pray that this book will be read and considered by Denominational leaders, pastors, and church members and that action will be taken to make necessary changes if truth requires. It is very important that Biblical truth be accepted and all tradition be replaced by truth. I pray that this book will help supply some of the truth that is needed for change. That is for the reader to decide.
