Maybe I’m wrong, but, in view of his eschatology in number four, I’d say the author of this piece is not Premillennial, but is an Amillennialist, perhaps of the Preterist variety, or a Postmillennialist.
My pastor takes a stand on culture war issues, he preaches on it often. Yet, he does this while being a Premillennialist. He is Post-tribulational, however. A big distinction.
On the other points, the author’s criticism is right on, but on number four he needs to be more specific. He has a bone to pick with the pretribulation rapturists, obviously. But all Premillennialists are not the Pretrib variety.
Ping = 4 LATER
I went to the link you referenced. I think the pastor is not forthright enough. How is it that this pastor, in his list of beliefs, says nothing about his stance on eschatology?
“Kinda off-topic: Our pastor said from the pulpit a week and a half ago that people would be foolish to come to our church with bad intentions (I live in Colorado Springs, don’t go to New Life Church, BTW). He said with a wink that “there’s a lot of hardware in this room, if you know what I mean.” I suspect our pastor has a concealed weapons permit, as do many in the congregation.”
Now that’s what you call putting on the full armor of God! ;^)
And this is a problem why?
