Full Podcast: Restoring the Apostles’ Doctrine Date: 5/5/10 Speaker: Rodney Shaw Topics: Restorationists would say that the model for the normal Christian experience is the New Testament; You don’t stop at the Pentecostal movement in 1901 or 1906, John Wesley, the Calvinist Awakenings, Calvin, Luther, or creeds and councils–you go to where the original Christian experience is documented (the New Testament); What is the model for normative Christian doctrine and experience, and who gets to decide? – Only the Scripture has the authority to answer that question; If there were no model, it would be up to every individual, church, and tradition to come up with what they feel is the normal Christian experience/doctrine; Unfortunately that is exactly what has happened over time
