Traditionalist SBC proponents deny both effectual calling and that regeneration precedes faith. What is the role of the Holy Spirit in evangelism and conversion in Traditionalist theology? Dr. Sean Cole interacts with the Traditional Statement and compares it to the BFM 200O and the 2nd London Baptist Confession. He gives three Biblical examples of how both the Word and Spirit work together to bring about the sovereign regeneration of the elect.

Dr. Sean Cole introduces the book of Ruth and focuses on the 1:1-5 to set the stage for the greatest short story ever told. This is the story of God's invisible hand of grace in the midst of extreme tragedy.

Dr. Sean Cole shows how you can only truly know and see God with the eyes of faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. He explores four false ways people try to approach God: 1) mysticism 2) moralism 3) fanaticism and 4) rationalism.

Dr. Sean Cole shows the transcendent majesty of the Sovereign Lord from Jeremiah 18:11-17.

Dr. Sean Cole preaches a very important passage of Scripture for our pluralistic age that denies the exclusivity of Christ. Faith in Christ is the antidote for a troubled heart. Jesus gives three reasons why we can not fear: 1) He has prepared a place for us in heaven 2) He will come back and take us to heaven and 3) He is the one and only way to heaven. Pastor Sean also gives a warning about the heresy in The Shack.

Dr. Sean Cole finishes up the book of Philippians.

A cross-centered love portrays a compelling testimony to a watching world. Jesus prepares the disciples for His departure by focusing on two key truths: 1) The glory of the cross and 2) the new commandment to love one another just as HE has loved us.

Traditional Southern Baptists deny imputed guilt from Adam as well as Total Inability. They will argue for total depravity in that we are born sinful, but no so sinful that we cannot ADMIT our need for a Savior when presented with the gospel. Is admitting our need for salvation the same as genuine saving faith? Dr. Cole interacts with the Traditionalist view by addressing three key areas: 1) The Nature of Fallen Man, (2) The Need for Sovereign Regeneration, and (3) The Necessity of Genuine Saving Faith. He compares the London Baptist Confession with the Traditional Statement as he unpacks the Scriptures to reveal the key differences between Traditionalists and Calvinists Southern Baptists. www.seancole.net
