Way of the Master

[Bandguy]

I was in a Christian Bookstore the other day and started reading one of Cameron and Comfort's books about how to explain the Christian faith and apologetics. I noticed two things within the book:

1. They quoted, it seemed almost exclusively, Calvinist theologians such as Spurgeon and others.

2. Much of what they were teaching in their book sounded like Reformed theology.

Does anyone here know anything about their theology other than the little bit that I saw in their book?

Thanks.

See here, here and here.

They both lean a bit Arminian, but their material is sound, their methods are sound, and their book on evangelism is thorough.

I've seen them both on TV on a number of occasions and have been pleasantly surprised. Given the sorry state of religion on TV, most of which claims to be Christian, they are a breath of fresh air. When they stay on point and use the law to confront sinners to their hopeless condition, they're great. Now, if they could just shed their underlying Arminianism they'd really have something to say.

Despite the fact they air on TBN they appear to be genuinely Christian, they correctly assert that the law points the sinner to Christ.

Whether or not they are Calvinist i couldn't tell you but they appear to atleast be 4 points and despite Kirk Cameron's involvement with the Left Behind garbage it would appear he is indeed a Christian man.

Perhaps the dispensationism is all part of his "Growing Pains" as a believer, but I digress.

Maybe they are CC?

(Closet Calvinists).

I'm just glad TBN is so blind to theology, or perhaps just greedy,to block the once in a blue moon quality theologian or apologetics program that they'll broadcast unwittingly. (Kennedy, MacArthur maybe this)

I was bored yesterday and did a search for Spurgeon on Youtube. One of these Way of the Master things came up and I started watching it. It was actually really good (as previously said, using the law to point to sin and Christ), and I was surprised by Cameron's involvement. They were saying the way the modern church "does evangelism" is incorrect, and is responsible for the 80-90% of backsliding people who "made the commitment" in churches worldwide.

Very interesting.

Is that other fellow an Aussie brother?

Nope. He comes from New Zealand. A country who sound very similar to us Aussies, but still have to pronounce their 'i's as 'e's.

I'm aware of the Kiwi's but I haven't trained myself to distinguish between them.

I just figured that with 20 million Australians versus 4 million or so Kiwis the odds of him being Aussie were greater.

Well, matters aren't helped by our occasional theft of an NZ personality. Russell Crowe, for instance, is a Kiwi.

Or the American ones like Mel Gibson.
