Message and the Abstract of Principles, upon which the institution was founded, and on which the first signature is that of James Petigru Boyce." The North American Mission Board was included as an example of Calvinistic infiltration because a recent issue of its On Mission magazine highlights several church planters, "two of whom could be seen as Reformed in their theology." Harris also pointed to NAMB's decision to include St. Louis as one of its focus cities in the Send North America church planting initiative. "In St. Louis NAMB will encounter a Baptist association that has already launched 15 church plants, seven of which are listed as Acts 29 Network churches," Harris wrote, characterizing Acts 29 as "admittedly evangelical, missional and Reformed in its approach to church planting." Remember, this article was published over four years ago… Where are Southern Baptists gathering in two weeks (for their annual meeting)? Meet me in St. Louis… The Baptist Press article also included Trevin Wax's response to Gerald Harris' claim (see below). Trevin Wax, managing editor of The Gospel Project at LifeWay, told SBC Voices eight of the 11 advisory council members are Southern Baptist, and LifeWay did not ask them if they were Calvinists. [emphasis mine] The members were asked about the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, and "the conversations were about how we could structure this curriculum in a way that points to Christ, not Calvinism," Wax said. Can there be any doubt that Trevin Wax made Al Mohler proud with his crafty response? And here's another response by Wax that must have made Mohler proud.

The Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven (Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22, Hebrews 12:23).Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, and to demonstrate His love and compassion for all the world, the priority reason for being of Christ Gospel Churches as part of God’s Church is:To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16).To be a corporate body in which man may worship God (I Corinthians 12:13).To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16, I Corinthians 12:28, I Corinthians 14:12).To be a people who demonstrate God’s love and compassion for all the world (Psalms 112:9, Galatians 2:10, Galatians 6:10, James 1:27).Christ Gospel Churches exists expressly to give continuing emphasis to this reason for being in the New Testament apostolic pattern by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience:Enables them to evangelize in the power of the Spirit with accompanying supernatural signs (Mark 16:15-20, Acts 4:29-31, Hebrews 2:3-4).Adds a necessary dimension to worshipful relationship with God (I Corinthians 2:10-16, I Corinthians 12, I Corinthians 13, I Corinthians 14).Enables them to respond to the full working of the Holy Spirit in expression of fruit and gifts and ministries as in New Testament times for the edifying of the body of Christ and care for the poor and needy of the world (Galatians 5:22-26, Matthew 25:37-40, Galatians 6:10, I Corinthians 14:12, Ephesians 4:11-12, I Corinthians 12:28, Colossians 1:29).THE MINISTRYA divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:Evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20),Worship of God (John 4:23-24),Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11-16).Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion (Psalms 112:9, Galatians 2:10; Galatians 6:10, James

This verse-by-verse Bible study and commentary of The Acts of the Apostles ("The Book of Acts" or simply "Acts") is in-depth but uses plain language that everyone can understand, as well as a format that will engage you. The Book of Acts is a fast-moving historical account of the first three decades of the church. Acts begins in Jerusalem just after Jesus' resurrection, recounts how the Gospel reached what are Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, and Malta today, and closes with the apostle Paul's two year ministry in Rome. Highlights include the first Christian martyr Stephen; Peter's prison break; the demolition of the barrier between Jewish and gentile Christians; the conversion of Saul, a leading persecutor of Christians, into Paul on the road to Damascus, and his subsequent missionary journeys. As mentioned in the Origin of the Bible, the "Book" of Acts is actually a letter written to Theophilus by Luke, the doctor who accompanied Paul on his latter missionary journeys and used his medical training to carefully record what Paul and the other apostles said and did as inspired by God. "The Acts of the Apostles" may be a misnomer since what is recorded are the acts of the Holy Spirit through His human vessels, including the apostles, for the glory of God. May He bless you as you witness the truth, the grace and the power with which He launched and continues to love His church.
