Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://robert.williamsonline.us/?p=751#comment-885 Robert, Now I know why I like your blog! I am a worship leader and a small groups pastor in an Assembly of God church. Please don't hold that against me. :-) I get to teach our young adult discipleship class which is called a "berean" from time to time and I am on the same track as you. I teach the history of the Church and sola scriptura,if you can believe that in a pentecostal church! It has actually been a good influnce for the other pastors there in terms of their teaching. They are definitely not standard AG leaders. My dutch pastor friends are amazed that I have one foot in pentecostalism and the other in reformed theology,although I am not what you would call a "classic" calvinist. Anyway,well done. Sounds like the kind of class I would enjoy. Also love the cite from Zephaniah. We do two worship songs that reference that scripture. Robert,

He is a theologian with a Reformed theology/soteriology but not a cessationist. He has even written a few things for the Vineyard Association. He's a strong conservative, cofounder of the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (with John Piper) and has taken up a stance with Vern Poythress against D.A. Carson (a friend and former colleague of his), et. al. on the matter of inclusive language (Grudem is strongly against it). Grudem's "Systematic Theology" is, in my opinion and the opinion of many others, the best contemporary systematic out there. Anyways, thought you might like his stuff given your background.

His work looks most interesting, as I did a little research, and I will buy a copy of the book. The strange thing is I have never been a member of an AG church until the LORD brought me here 3 years ago; on the Navajo Nation no less. Anyway , thank you again. Jared, thank you.
