Christ Is Not Religion
Author: Kurt Hamilton
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 109809719X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Are you religious? According to Scripture, being religious means very little. The Bible says that demons are religious and believe in God, and surely demons are not going to heaven (James 2:19; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15)! This book is inspired by a true correspondence between two men: Kurt (the author) and Matt. The "Matt Letters" are actual letters emailed between the two men; nothing has been edited except Matt's expletives. Kurt is employed by a Christian company which has placed the Christian "fish sign" (ixthus) on its packages of merchandise. Matt is a non-Christian who has purchased this product at a local do-it-yourself center and is extremely upset that the Christian sign is being displayed in a public place. In Matt's correspondence, he communicates to Kurt that he is bisexual. Matt believes that the religious community has rejected him, and therefore, Matt vehemently rejects Christ and Christianity. Kurt explains to Matt that though he has been rejected by religion, he will not be rejected by Christ. Christ is not religion. Religion is of man; Christ is of God! In fact, Christ rejected many of the religious leaders of his day. The religious leaders adhered to man-made commandments and meaningless traditions, which resulted in nothing more than religious bondage. They did not embrace God's love, nor did they embrace God's power and therefore, were unable to genuinely care for the people. The religious leaders rejected Christ because Christ associated with sinners. Jesus, in turn, told the religious leaders, "Thieves and harlots will enter the kingdom of God before you" (Matthew 21:31)! These leaders were, to say the least, a poor representation of a compassionate God. There are many mainstream religions today steeped in religious bondage that poorly represent the true, compassionate God. They believe themselves to be the "Way to God," yet in reality, religion alone is not the way to God at all. Religion does not free a person from that which can destroy the physical, emotional, or spiritual aspects of life. Religion can change a man's mind, but it cannot change a man's heart. Simply said, religion is not perfect because man is not perfect (Heb. 7:19; Colo. 2:23; Gal. 3:1-3; Rom. 8:3). The Scriptures say, "Our gospel did not come in word only but in power." Christ has come to turn men "from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God" (Acts 26:18; 1 Thess. 1:5; 1 Cor. 2:4-5). Matt is bisexual. Will Christ accept Matt?

The Holiness-Pentecostal Tradition
Author: Vinson Synan
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467428051
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Called "a pioneer contribution" by Church History when it was first published in 1971 as The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States, this volume has now been revised and enlarged by Vinson Synan to account for the incredible changes that have occurred in the church world during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Synan brings together the stories of the many movements usually listed as "holiness," "pentecostal," or "charismatic," and shows that there is an identifiable "second blessing" tradition in Christianity that began with the Catholic and Anglican mystics, that was crystallized in the teaching of John Wesley, and that was further perpetuated through the holiness and Keswick movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the appearance of modern Pentecostalism. Synan then chronicles the story of the spread of Pentecostalism around the world after the heady days of the Azusa Street awakening, with special attention given to the beginnings of the movement in those nations where Pentecostalism has become a major religious force. He also examines the rise of various mainline-church charismatic movements that have their roots in Pentecostalism. Because of the explosive growth of the Pentecostal movement in the last half of the century, Pentecostals and Charismatics now constitute the second largest family of Christians in the world after the Roman Catholic Church. "This could well be the major story of Christianity in the twentieth century," writes Synan. "Pentecostalism has grown beyond a mere passing 'movement' . . . and can now be seen as a major Christian 'tradition' alongside the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Reformation Protestant traditions." The Holiness-Pentecostal Tradition will continue to be an important handbook for shaping our understanding of this phenomenon.
