Maranatha Baptist Theological Journal, Volume 1, No 2
Overview
Theological journals are a tremendous resource for biblical studies. However, anyone who has searched for copies of theological journals knows that they are difficult to find and impossible to buy. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a library of journals in print form, they take up lots of shelf space. With the print editions, finding a topic or Scripture reference can be difficult. The Theological Journal Library combines several of the best conservative, scholarly, evangelical journals and classic works on church history. This massive set allows you to rapidly search through each title for specific words, phrases, topics, authors, or passages.
Top Highlights
“The references to the Holy Spirit filling, empowering, or coming upon someone in the Old Testament are few and narrative in character. There are some clear conclusions which may be drawn, however. First, this was a sovereign act of God. No one prayed for, requested, sought, or asked in any way for this filling or empowering. Second, the personal character of the recipient was not a defining norm. Third, this was a special activity, reserved for a very few select individuals. Fourth, it was designed to provide the necessary ability for a specific ministry.” (Page 202)
“The first issue is whether or not ‘those who were once enlightened’ are actually saved” (Page 143)
“The conclusion that can be drawn from these references is that when Luke used πίμπλημιpimplemi, he was referring to a sovereign act of God, in which the Holy Spirit empowered individuals for a particular ministry at a specific time. When he used πληρόωpleroo or πλήρηςpleres, he was referring to the character of the individual.” (Page 214)
“In conclusion, the judgment in Hebrews 6 is not eternal damnation. It is the loss of God’s blessing and the onset of God’s curse. God’s curse is temporal discipline of the believer, which may even include physical death.” (Page 195)
“If final salvation is dependent upon human perseverance, then final salvation is based on human works” (Page 152)
