We are living during a time when the evangelical Christian church, in general, has downplayed theology so much that we are not seeing many churches denigrate anything outside of the basic gospel message. It has become fashionable in some circles to shorten church doctrinal statements to the point that they are only a few short sentences. Dispensational Premillennialism is one of those areas where more and more Christians are unwilling to see as important or relegate these matters to mere opinions that don’t matter. In this episode of Advancing the Cause, Richard Bargas shares five reasons why dispensational premillennialism is important to profess, protect, and promote in the church.

The problem of evil has been a point that atheists and agnostics have used as an argument against the existence of God for centuries.

All of these and more are addressed in this episode when Richard Bargas and Dr. Geoff Kirkland go to the Word of God for answers to these important questions.

Description:

Richard Bargas talks with Dr. Peter Goeman about the arguments against the reformed doctrine of infant baptism. In looking at it theologically, biblically, and exegetically, Dr. Goeman demonstrates that the biblical record connects faith and baptism, while it does not support the theological Covenant of Grace. These two arguments strike critical blows by showing that the Bible does not support these main tenets of Covenant Theology. So, where did this doctrine come from? Listen in and find out more!

Peter Goeman serves as associate professor of Old Testament and biblical languages at Shepherds Theological Seminary in Cary, NC. He is the author of The Baptism Debate: Understanding and Evaluating Reformed Infant Baptism. More resources can be found at his website: The Bible Sojourner.
