Fundamentals of Pen of Iron
If you're new or old to Pen of Iron, here are some basic doctrines we stand for and defend, because the Bible teaches. You will find them peppered throughout our posts, and sometimes exposited in the Bible Doctrines page.
The King James Bible is perfect.
Dispensations. Salvation is not identical in all dispensations, and Israel and the Church are NOT the same.
Pre-millennial. Definitely pre-millennial. That's Bible 101 right there.
The church-age ends in apostasy, not in the gospel conquering the world.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith in the Son of God, without any admixture of works. Sacraments are a work of the devil.
Eternal security of the believer; in the church-age. A Christian does not have to endure to the end to be saved. That applies to tribulation folks.
The free choice and responsibility of man to receive or reject the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hell and the lake of fire are literal and the latter is the final, eternal, and conscious destination of all who reject the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ .
The Lord Jesus Christ resurrected physically, bodily, from the grave. It was the same body that was crucified that resurrected, but glorified.
The church is raptured BEFORE the tribulation; and there is MORE THAN ONE rapture in the Bible.
The independence of the local church.
Ecumenism is a work of the devil. Yes, that too.
Two ordinances given to the church: baptism and communion.
Baptism follows salvation; obviously then it is not required for salvation. It must be a conscious choice, and it is done in obedience to a commadment from the Lord Jesus. Baptism is by immersion.
Rome (with its religious system) is the bloody Babylonian whore of Revelation 17. Rome does not change.
I've saved all your comments and will try to open a closed forum to further discuss this; I was convicted during prayer about leaving this issue public because it is too confusing to the world.
world, all you have to do is believe that the Son of God payed the penalty for all your sins on the cross and resurrected, and you will be saved from hell and freely obtain eternal life.
i've invited you to a new private blog, im not sure how the system works, but check your email and tell me if you were able to access the blog and what you had to do to access it. Am not sure yet how this works for ppl without accounts. thanks.
