Why I Am A Pentecostal – Part 56
[Part 56 of an ongoing series. Click here for Part 1.]
Ministry: New Life Church of Austin, TX
Full Podcast: Restoring the Apostles’ Doctrine
Date: 5/5/10
Speaker: Rodney Shaw
Topics: The Apostles and their associates had a fear that there would be a departing; 2 Timothy 3:13-14 – “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them“; It’s a backwards look–it’s already been established; The New Testament writers have this sense that people will continually be tempted to be led away from the foundational doctrinal principles; 2 Timothy 4:3-4 – “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.“‘; Appeal to teach the word and doctrine that had already been delivered into the church; Cleave to the teachings, resist the change; 2 Peter 3:15-18 – “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.“; The concern is that they will be led away doctrinally; Jude 3 – “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints“; It’s a past tense thing, even for the New Testament writers–it’s not something to be fleshed out, developed, and evolved over the centuries
