Baptist Conference on the Holy Spirit 5

Apr 28th, 2007 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, General Christian

Robin Foster graciously presented a 20 page research paper on “cautious cessationalism.” While affirming God’s right to do as He chooses and that the Bible doesn’t decisively say that the gifts have ceased, Robin exegeted Scriptures to call what many are calling the gift of tongues into question.

Alan Cross started with 5 minutes of Scriptures referencing the gifts being used throughout the New Testament, saying there was much more.

Alan made a point I had never heard before. He said no one had ever been saved as a result of hearing tongues. In Acts 2, 3,000 were saved after Peter preached the Gospel.

Dr. Boyd Luter spoke about the precarious road on which we are currently traveling with the narrowing of our parameters. His title was “Can Continualists and Cessationists co-exist in the same church and in the Southern Baptist Convention?

Sorry, but I was not able to be at the meeting tonight. I had to go home.

I heard that Sam Storms preached an amazing message about fulfilling God’s call to reach into the lives of broken and hurting people.

    Art, I just got home myself. Tired but refreshed at the same time.
    I’m glad we met-I had no idea you were so young! Cornerstone and their pastor were wonderful.
    I’m going back :)

    Art,
    I enjoyed meeting you at the conference. I really appreciate the balanced views that were presented and the respectful tone from everyone.
    Yes, Cornerstone did a wonderful job hosting the event. I got to spend some time with several of the church members and can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the fellowship.

    It was good to meet you Art. I got so much out of this conference from both view points. I also hope I can return for the next one. BTW I read Dorcas’s notes and they are worth the read.
