Featured Spurgeon: Dispensationalist or Covenant Theology?

Naturally. I devoted a whole lecture to historical premil, a position held by my grandfather (John R. Rice) and taught to me growing up.

 

Yea, that's me. :laugh:

You have heard about Pam Millennial position right....It will all pan out in the end.

 

Or Charismatic? lol

I was reading an account of a sermon by Spurgeon where he stopped in the middle of the sermon and said (loose quote) "Someone in here worked on the Sabbath!" He went on to say that that person would be reproved by God.

I was amazed because (1) he claimed to have received knowledge from God (which I believe can happen) and (2) that it seemed to be based on a very legalistic position. In one sense, if Spurgeon believed that it was sin to work on Saturday then we might very well call him Covenantal, though describing the particular type of "Covenantal" might be the difficult part.


God bless.

 

You are John R. Rice's grandson? That's pretty cool. I cannot imagine how it might have been having someone like that as an influence in my life as I grew up.

I attended a Church that he preached at years ago. Unfortunately, a false teacher assumed control of that fellowship and the guy set the church on fire. When I attended, they had still not restored the Sanctuary and were meeting in the basement.

Anyway, just nice to see godly influence in someone's life that led to furtherance of ministry.


God bless.

 

Not all. Some will end up out of the pan...




God bless.

 

I will have to research the threads I was involved in to find it. It may take me some time but I will look for it when I get the time.

And I am not sure I would call it continualism, exactly, just struck me as odd, because I have always had a view of Spurgeon as being more fundamental.


God bless.

 

Spurgeon did not bellieve the Christian Sabbath was "Saturday" but "Sunday". Right or wrong that was his belief.

 

But the nation Israel was not!
