3. The Doctrine of the Trinity (Pt. 1) - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 3 The doctrine of God as it relates to the nature of His being is no small matter. The first three centuries of Church history were consumed with this central issue. In the second and third centuries, men like Praxeas and Sabellius argued that God was singular not only in being but also in person. Sabellius taught that, like an actor wearing different masks on stage, God likewise assumed different modes at different times to manifest Himself to man. In the Old Testament, God assumed the role of a Father; in the incarnation, the role of a Son, and in regeneration,...

2. History of Oneness Pentecostals - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 2 No movement ever existed in a vacuum. From revolutions to reformations, whether political, social or religious, no movement ever begun in a vacuum. Each was a product of their times, and it is no different when tracing the origins of the modern Oneness Pentecostal movement. It too has a beginning that arose out of Classical Pentecostalism in the early 20th Century. However, the heresies espoused by Oneness Pentecostals as they relate to the nature of God are not new. Their denial of the Trinity in favour of a modalistic view of God did not have its origins...

1. An Introduction to Oneness Pentecostals - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 1 On the surface, Oneness Pentecostals have many similarities to mainstream Pentecostals, and that is what makes them so dangerous. They affirm the deity of Jesus Christ, they believe in the continuing gifts of the Holy Spirit, they believe the Bible to be the inspired and infallible word of God, they believe in the literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ, they believe in the final judgment of the wicked and in a literal hell. On the surface, one would not find a great deal of disagreement; YET four main fundamental beliefs set them apart from orthodox Biblical...

info_outlineHebrews 10:24-25
We are living at a time in history where anything that is of long-standing tradition is being called into question. Renewed calls go forth on every hand, calling for change. Out with the old and in with the new is the resounding cry of this post-modernist generation. Whether it’s marriage, the family home, politics or education, that which once served our forefathers for eons is being re-examined in light of new-fangled philosophies offered by the so-called experts of our day. Sadly, as one looks to the Church, it follows suit, having an insatiable itch for that which is new. In an age where Church attendance in the West is in decline, and atheism, secularism, and New Age spirituality are on the rise, we are told that unless the Church becomes relevant to this youth-driven generation, then it will disappear from society and die from old age.
In this first part of a series examining the Church (Ekklesia), we seek to answer the question, “What” or “Who” is the Church of Jesus Christ?
