We do not accept that this and other ministries were to be confined to an "apostolic age" but they are to be fully activated until the physical return of Christ. Prayer and Intercession. We believe that both personal and corporate prayer are absolutely essential if the Church is to succeed. The New Testament Church was birthed in prayer, it continued steadfast in prayer and bathed all of its ... While we all recognize and understand that the larger Body of Christ encompasses all believers, it is on the local scene that all of the plans and purposes of God are going to be demonstrated and fulfilled. Every believer must find himself or herself in right relationship to God and to a specific local church in order to find a place of ministry and fruitfulness. It is essential that rather than criticizing the Church, we do everything we can to make the Church of Jesus Christ glorious. The Church is God's instrument to extend His purposes in the earth today. It is the instrument of the Kingdom. ... ...

155: Werner, Martin: The Formation of Christian Dogma
Because the relationship of Christ to God the Father was conditioned by the direct and essential connection of the concept of the Christ with the doctrine of angels, that relation-ship was understood unequivocally as being one of 'subordination', i.e. in the sense of the subordination of Christ to God. Wherever in the New Testament the relationship of Jesus to God, the Father, is brought into consideration, whether with reference to his appearance as a man or to his Messianic status, it is conceived of and represented ... Hippolytus, for example, once expressed himself in the following manner: 'The Word sprang from heaven into the womb of the Virgin; it sprang from the Mother's womb on, to the Tree; it sprang from the Tree into Hades; it sprang up to earth again- Resurrection!

As we will see, all of the Anti-Trinitarian arguments are invalid leaving us with no other conclusion then the fact that God is a plurality of persons, just as the Biblical trinity teaches.

171: What Must I Do To Be Saved ?
The change in a person's life resulting in his becoming a Christian is called in the Bible, conversion, and the Bible teaches that conversion is necessary for a person to be saved. Christ likened this change to a birth and taught Nicodemus, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). Of the 27 books comprising the New Testament, there is one book which is particularly helpful in understanding the nature of conversion. This book is Acts of the Apostles which tells of the conversions of many different people. In Chapters 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, and 22 are 8 key examples of conversion and from these examples certain universal principles of conversion can be understood. First, conversion is dependent upon the acceptance of the Word of God by the sinner. Jesus said, "The seed is the Word", and conversions mentioned in the book of Acts bear out the necessity of both the presentation of God's word to the sinner and his acceptance of ... ...

172: Boer, Harry R.: A Short History of the Early Church
... For the Greeks the creation of the world and the incarnation of the Son of God were major religious and intellectual problems. How can God (pure spirit) create the world (matter) and become man (matter and spirit)? c. The Old Testament is strongly monotheistic. If Christ is very God, what is his relationship to God the Creator.- the God of Israel? For these reasons it was probably unavoidable that questions about the person of Jesus should arise to which the New Testament gives no direct answer. These questions were of two kinds: the first group concerned the relationship of Jesus Christ to God the Father; the second group of questions dealt with the problem of the relationship between the human nature and the divine nature of Christ. In this chapter we are concerned with the first group of questions. VARIOUS ANSWERS: The matter is put quite clearly in the first chapter of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the ... ...

175: Commentary on what the early Christians believed about the Trinity
They affirmed the divinity and distinct personality of Christ quite clearly and that of the Holy Spirit less clearly. They offered no trinitarian doctrine and saw no trinitarian problem.

In this respect the New Testament, the Apostolic Fathers, and the Apostles' Creed stand in one line. (A ...

176: Was Jesus Christ really born of a Virgin?
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet saying, 'Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us"'. (Matthew 1:18-23). The virgin birth of Jesus is a topic of exquisite design. The more comprehensive the study of the work of Jesus, the more fitting the virgin birth appears. How else could the Christ so convincingly demonstrate his kinship with man while retaining his divine nature? But what is the evidence for believing in the virgin birth? Some have rejected the virgin birth as being an ... But, if the latter is true, history is going somewhere, man is somebody, and life can be based upon specifics.
