Five Facts of Glorification

A

  4. The Lord will renew all things at the end of all things.
  5. We ought to long for the gifts of heaven, but we most long for the giver himself.
62
Q

Union with Christ

A

The central truth of the doctrine of sanctification. We get every spiritual blessing “in Christ.” Because of our union with Christ, the Father does not see our sin, but instead sees the cleanliness of Christ.

63
Q

Atonement

A

What happened when Jesus died on the cross?

64
Q

Christus Victor/Ransom Theory

A

As a result of sin, humankind has put themselves under Satan’s dominion. God would not steal us back, so he ransomed us back through Christ’s death. However, Satan does not know that Jesus will resurrect and defeat him.

65
Q

Moral Influence Theory

A

Christ’s death accomplished nothing objective. The sole barrier to salvation resides in the sinner’s minds. Jesus’ death on the cross overwhelms and persuades sinners to turn to Christ and turn from their moral wickedness.

66
Q

Satisfaction Theory

A

God’s honor has not been upheld by humans, and as they sin they offend God. However, God will not let his offense go on forever, he is going to do something about it. Its going to take an infinite redeemer to reconcile an infinite offense. Jesus was man enough to die, but God enough to be infinite. Jesus is the infinite satisfaction for the infinite God.

67
Q

Governmental Theory

A

God’s law has been violated, and justice must be upheld. Jesus’ death satisfied the violation of God’s law, but also deters sinners from sinning.

68
Q

Penal Substitutionary Theory

A

Jesus was a substitute for the penalty of sin. Jesus paid for the sin of the unrighteous.

69

A

A removal of God’s wrath.

Plurality of Eldership

94
Q

Complementarianism

A

The office of elder is reserved for biblically qualified men. Equal in dignity, complementary in role.

95
Q

Egalitarianism

A

Because men and women are equal in value in God’s sight, so men and women can hold the same roles.

96
Q

Dr Kurtz’ 5 Complementarianism Thoughts

A
  1. These passages limit the role of elder to men, not the role of deacon.
  2. Complementarianism is not a discussion of ability, but showcasing the complementary nature of the two genders.
  3. There is so much grey area in this discussion.
  4. We spend an abnormal amount of time focusing on the prohibitions and not enough time on what women can do.
  5. Although we should interpret the Bible through a complementarianism view, we should train women to serve important roles in the church.
