Summary of Fourfold Gospel Prof. Jintae Kim, Ph.D. Alliance Theological Seminary Nov 2, 2003
I. Jesus Christ the Savior Basis: Atonement; Redemption Biblical Absolute: No other name (Acts 4:12)
1) Guilt of sin Forgiveness 2) Curse of the law Justification 3) Evil consciences A New Heart (regeneration) & Sanctification 4) Satan’s kingdom Kingdom of Christ 5) Eternal death Life & Healing 6) Wrath of God Love of God Meaning of Salvation in 6 Perspectives
II. Jesus Christ the Sanctifier Basis: Atonement; Redemption
What is Not Sanctification 1)Regeneration (just a seed yet) 2)Morality or any attainment of character. 3)Human work. 4) The work of death (monasticism) 5)Self-perfection 6) State of emotion
Two Meanings of Sanctification 1) Separation from sin 2) Dedication to God
The Source of Sanctification Jesus himself = our sanctification = our sanctifier
The Means of Sanctification Reliance on Christ Entire surrender Personal indwelling of Jesus Sanctification
The Ultimate Goal of Sanctification Conformity to the likeness of God & to the will of God
Genuine Sanctification It must be expressed in Love, supreme love to God and all mankind Mission (!!!!!!!). Distinctive of C&MA: Link sanctification to mission.
III. Jesus Christ the Healer Basis: Atonement; Redemption Key passage: Isa 53:5 “by his wounds we are healed”
What is Not Divine Healing (6) • Medical healing • Healing by mind-cure, mysterious force, or spiritualism • Prayer cure: forcing God to heal • Faith-cure: faith as a means regardless God’s will • Will-power • Mercenary medical profession
Definition of Divine Healing by A. B. Simpson “Supernatural divine power of God infused into human bodies, renewing their strength and replacing the weakness of suffering human frames by the life and power of God” (p. 44)
IV. Jesus Christ the Coming King Basis: His promise and Apostolic witnesses
Historical Premillennialism Premillennial, Personal, bodily, visible, and glorious appearing at the end of the ages (1 John 3:2-3; Rev 1:7; Acts 1:10-11).
Acts 1:11 They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.“ (NRSV)
The Second Coming and the Tribulation C&MA takes no position on the tribulation and Christ’s return.
The Catch-Phrase of C&MA Hasten the coming of the Lord by preaching the Gospel to the end of the earth in our own generation! (ref. Matt 24:14)
