Theology in Particular

How does a man know if he is called to the ministry? And once he knows, what should he do to prepare? What role does the local church play in this process? How can a seminary help? These are the kinds of questions we address in this interview with Dr. James Renihan, President of IRBS Theological Seminary.  https://irbsseminary.org/

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan, we consider a view of baptist history known as “successionism”. Those who hold to this view believe that, in one way or another, baptists can trace their heritage all the way back to the days of Christ and his Apostles.

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan we talk about what it means to subscribe to a confession of faith. We discuss different levels of subscription and also touch upon some of the benefits of full (or strict) subscription. We hope you are encouraged by it!

This is an interview with Dr. James Renihan on the topic of common objections to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. Specifically, we discuss the most common objections taken by those who otherwise subscribe to the confession. Those who are familiar with this issue will anticipate that our conversation focuses on chapters 26.4 and 10.3. Dr. Renihan also helpfully distinguishes between objections, exceptions, and scruples. I truly enjoyed this interview, and pray that it would be of some advantage to you, the listener.
