March 9, 2007

Over on the Pulpit blog, Nathan Busenitz — who has graciously commented over here — has asked us charismatics to add any further killer arguments to his list of the top 10 charismatic objections to cessationism.

CHARISMATIC DEBATE – Responding to Dan’s Objections

September 10, 2006

Last week I began my response to Dan Phillips by focusing on the importance of authentic relational Christianity. I had hoped that cessationists would have rallied to say something like, “Adrian, you are right about this bit — keep your tongues and prophecy to yourself, but we are as much in favour of a real [...]

Free From the Yoke of Legalism!

July 12, 2006

A few days ago I blogged about having changed my Bible. I remarked on the fact that I now feel liberated to write in it. It has given me considerable cause for reflection. I am now increasingly convinced that I had allowed myself to be ensnared by legalism. Why shouldn’t I write in or underline [...]
