July 7, 2015 by bhacademic Leave a Comment

GoingPublic_CVRBlog editor Jake Pratt recently interviewed Bobby Jamieson about his new book Going Public.

JP: Who is Going Public for?

BJ: Pastors and church leaders, first of all, since they most directly influence how their churches approach the ordinances and membership. Also seminarians, Bible college students, and any aspiring pastors or lay leaders. And if there are any Christians who are not in leadership but who have a burning interest in ecclesiology, be my guest!

Why Baptism Is Required for Membership

September 18, 2014 by bhacademic 1 Comment

Baptized_in_the_Jordan_River

 

By Bobby Jamieson

Why must someone be baptized as a believer in order to join a local church? Because church membership is a public affirmation of someone’s public profession of faith in Christ, and Jesus has appointed baptism as the means by which his followers publicly profess their faith in him. A church can’t affirm the profession of someone who hasn’t yet made that profession.

Baptism is how you publicly identify yourself with Jesus and with his people (Acts 2:38–41). It is how you visibly signify that you are united to Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:1–4). It is how you become identified before the church and the world as one who belongs to the Triune God (Matt. 28:19). It is how you publicly embrace Jesus as your Savior and submit to him as Lord (1 Pet. 3:21). [Read more…]

The following is adapted by Keith Whitfield from “Theological Method: An Introduction to the Task of Theology,” by Bruce R. Ashford and Keith Whitfield in A Theology for the Church, Revised Edition (B&H Academic, 2014).

What is the task of Christian theology? We claim the task of Christian theology is to reflect on God’s self-revelation for the purpose of equipping the people of God to know and love God and to participate in his mission in the world. [Read more…]
