The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum A Doctrinal Ministry Concern

Robin,

I did not copy the ministry's full Statement of Beliefs to the article. The email recipients were viewing the whole statement as we discussed it. My concern was due to 3 of the articles, the statement that a child was born innocent, a departure from Original Sin , the belief expressed in Soul Sleep and Annihilation or Destruction of the soul.

Actually I had discussed these directly with the director of that ministry to no avail.That person was a friend with whom I had worked with over a period of at least two years.

When it became evident that the entire Training Center furnished by that ministry had been revamped I became concerned, since it was linked to our site and forum and many of our members were receiving training there. The issue of Calvinism was a side issue that wasn't even involved until someone read it into the Statement of Beliefs. But I felt that it was important enough to correct that charge. Too often knee jerk opinions to Calvinism or Reformed Theology have arisen in the ministry before, due to insufficient knowledge. This is something that I attempt to correct a bit at a time by posting articles and discussions.
