Purpose and Objectives of the Theology Group

Purpose of the Theology Group

This forum is about learning, & sharing, and it is driven out of a desire to help people how to think by opening their minds to diverse views, learning from history, wrestling with difficult issues, and graciously engaging with others.

I would say that one goal is not so much to teach good theology, as important as that is, but to teach people to think. The desire here is to teach Irenic (peaceful) Theology, and not Polemic (War like) Theology. Which the latter is ok, but it is not the purpose of the Theology Group. I would hope that as we discuss all opposing views, we represent them as accurately as we can.

Also there are enough non-pentecostal Calvinist teaching out there. So another goal, and this is a major one is to promote a further understanding of Pentecostal and Arminian Theology, and what doctrines PCCF has accepted, practice and believed historically.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 "The Lord’s slave must not quarrel, but must be gentle to everyone, able to teach, and patient, instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance to know the truth. Then they may come to their senses and escape the Devil’s trap, having been captured by him to do his will." - CSB

Comment by CC on September 29, 2009 at 7:56am: I think it's just Hell Night season... At least, for KC it is! Very time consuming.

Comment by Christine Martinez on September 28, 2009 at 11:43pm: Man what's happened in here. It's like a ghost town now. LOL! Did you guys run out of topics? = ) I'll try and think of something to throw at you guys.

Comment by Robert Jimenez on August 5, 2009 at 8:07am: Pastor Cesar, glad you here and I hope you do find this group helpful.

Joe, some post do get long, and I know I have been guilty of that as well - but we do try to keep them shorter if at all possible.

Comment by David Velasquez on July 30, 2009 at 9:40pm: Thanks for the encouragement Pastor Cesar.

Comment by Pastor Cesar Salvame on July 29, 2009 at 6:44am: Hello! How are you there? Keep up the GOOD WORK GUYS! This group was such a Big Bang of blessing for me as a new guy in this ministry....

Comment by David Velasquez on July 28, 2009 at 3:01am: hahahaha Joe, you are right bro. We have asked the group to be concise and not to create such long post, especially when they venture out of the topic at hand, but we are a bunch of writing lunatics, for the exception of a few guys that keep it brief and to the point, but I happened to be one of the lunatics hahahaha but we are trying bro.

Comment by David Velasquez on May 18, 2009 at 9:32pm: Hey bro Esmer,
we need to do both. We need to study the word, so we can learned about God and we need to examine ourselves to make sure we are in the truth.

Comment by Ptr Esmer Catalo on April 12, 2009 at 5:07pm: Do we need study the life of our God ,or do we need to study our self for our salvation?

Comment by Kimani Ngure on January 8, 2009 at 4:53am: Hello everyone. New year greetings from Kenya, East Africa. It is well with us here.

Is anyone able to get me a copy of J.I. Parker's "Knowing God?" If you are able to bless me with a copy (new or old) I will really appreciate.

Keep sharing with us what the Lord has revealed to you about Himself & His kingdom. It is blessing all of Us. Enjoy His presence.

Comment by Carlos & Janie García on July 10, 2008 at 10:06pm: Christ asked the question, "Who do men say that I am?" (Matthew 16:13). Why do you think that Christianity has historically made belief in the deity of Christ as the primary test for orthodoxy?
