Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Judas Was a BaptistA provocative biblical investigation into Judas, religious identity, baptism, ministry, and genuine belief in Jesus Christ.Judas walked with Jesus.He was numbered among the Twelve.He received ministry.He lived within the community of Christ's disciples.Yet Jesus knew something the other disciples did not: Judas did not believe.Judas Was a Baptist takes this unsettling biblical reality and places it under the microscope of the TMQ (Target, Meet, Qualify) methodology.The authors examine Judas through five major evidentiary categories drawn from Acts 1:15-22, asking what his religious résumé can actually prove-and what it cannot.The study explores the relationship between: Baptism and beliefMinistry and regenerationChurch proximity and spiritual lifeApostolic office and union with ChristProphecy and human responsibilityReligious appearance and inward realityOne of the book's most important distinctions is that proximity can establish access, accountability, opportunity, and outward participation, but it cannot establish inward persuasion, new birth, union with Christ, or possession of everlasting life.The book also places Judas alongside competing theological interpretations, developing three diagnostic antitheses: the Calvinist, Arminian, and Baptist readings. Rather than simply choosing one theological system over another, the authors seek to return the discussion to the explicit testimony of Scripture.This is not merely a study about Judas.It is a study about how easily religious credentials can be mistaken for spiritual reality.For pastors, theologians, Bible teachers, seminary students, and Christians interested in salvation, assurance, discipleship, baptism, and biblical interpretation, Judas Was a Baptist offers a challenging framework for asking one of the most important questions in Christian theology: What does Scripture actually require for life in Christ.…
