Front 17

T or F? The Congregationalists increasingly found themselves forced into Separation contrary to their own doctrine and wills because of their congregational views.

Back 17

True

Front 18

Applications from the Puritans who settled New England

Back 18

1. Our disagreement with them about the relationship between the church and the state does not warrant our automatically questioning their motives or sincerity oreven good conscience

2. These New England Puritans are an example to us of true (althoughsomewhat misguided) concern to maintain the unity of Christ's universal church as much aspossible and to not be divisive.

Front 19

This institution was established In 1636 in Cambridge,Massachusetts and is the oldest learning institution in the U.S.

Back 19

Harvard College

Front 20

This pastor arrived in the Bay Colony in 1631 and was called tominister to the church in Boston; he believed the church should separate from the Church of England and he stirred up controversy everywhere he went; he eventually settled in Rhode Island, before leaving the ministry and denying the legitimacy of church institution all together

Front 23

an early immigrant to New England whowas to cause problems because of her peculiar claims and teachings.

Back 23

Anne Hutcheson

Front 24

What were three biblical positions regarding church government which were stated by theNew England Congregationalists in the Cambridge Platform (including the importantqualification for the second position)

Back 24

1. They maintained a biblical balance between congregational voice inchurch concerns and rule by elders, denying neither one.

2. They provided for the gathering ofsynods made up of representatives of the various churches, in order to deal with problems in thechurches. (However, such synods were to only lend counsel and advice (which should carry greatweight if biblical), and they could not impose decrees upon individual churches by force)

3. They would continue toadmit into the membership of their churches only those who maintained a credible profession offaith.

Front 25

A couple unbiblical positions that prevented the Cambridge Platform from being a pure church

Back 25

1. infant baptism

2. linkage of church and state

Front 26

When the New England Puritans sent advisers to England to try and give them advice they ran in to these 2 problems

Back 26

1. In England the Presbyterians were more influential in establishing a state church

Back 28

The Quakers

Front 29

The year of the Salem witch trials

Back 29

1692

Front 30

The Halfway Covenant (called this by opponents)

Back 30

The solution to deal with the generation that rose up who had been baptized and knew about the Bible but had no personal faith or conversion (at this point citizenship is dependent on church membership); these individuals were given membership and were allowed to baptize their children, but they could not take communion (so they were not in full communion)

Front 31

This pastor publicly bemoaned the spiritual declinehe saw in the churches from the 1660's on (due largely to the Halfway Covenant)

Back 31

Increase Mather

Front 32

The spiritual decay due to unbelieving members in churches set the stage for:

Back 32

the influence of liberalism in the churches and colleges

Front 33

Back 33

Yale

Front 34

This conservative pastor in Northampton, Massachusetts, began allowing the "middle" or "half-way" class of non-regeneratechurch members to come to the Lord's Table because he viewed it as a converting ordinance.

Back 34

Solomon Stoddard

Front 35

Solomon Stoddard's grandson who reacted against the half-way covenant and pushed personal conversion

Back 35

Jonathan Edwards

Front 36

How did the New England experiment fail?

Back 36

1. failed to accomplish its purpose of being a model for England since England went in an opposite direction (tolerance)

2. It experienced breakdown and decline from all three of the pillarsupon which it stood - The purity of the membership of the churches was to a largeextent lost due to the Halfway Covenant and Stoddardianism, The link between the church and state with a resultingChristian society gradually broke down over time, Infant baptism was rejected by many who, favoring the laterrevivals, and siding with Jonathan Edwards against the Halfway Covenant, became Baptists

Front 37

How did the New England experiment succeed?

Back 37

1. It did succeed in its stated goals for quite a period of time, due, to alarge degree, to its unique situation of having been founded mainly by true Christians (could not be sustained)

2. It did exert a powerful, long-term influence over the UnitedStates which has brought much blessing to our land at least in common grace, and often in savinggrace.

Front 38

What were two reasons which caused the Puritans to be quite hopeful and optimisticregarding the future of the church on earth before Christ's return

Back 38

1. The Puritans were especially encouraged by therecent Reformation and their experiences of revivals of religion in their own ministries

2. Their understanding of the promises of Scripture (they did not focus a lot on eschatology) - believing there was a future large scale salvation of Jews;

Front 39

These men refused to equate the future season of blessing with a period of exactly 1000 calendaryears (a millennium).

Back 39

Thomas Manton, John Owen, David Dickson andSamuel Rutherford

Front 40

T or F? The doctrinal confession of the Independents or Congregationalists, The Savoy Declaration of1658, adopted a post-mill position based upon Romans 11 in its chapter regarding the church.

Back 41

John Henry Alsted

Front 42

The Puritan hoperegarding the future affected their views of...

Back 42

Christ, the church and of prayer - all prayers were being stored up for a future revival!!

Front 43

The overall Puritan optimism was needed because after the Puritan Interregnum the following happened:

Back 43

Spiritual declension in the church, and in the land as a whole (England & New England), many Puritan pastors were removed during Charles II reign,

Front 44

This man foundhimself alone in protesting in the General Assembly the light punishment received by a Professorof Divinity at Glasgow who had been proven to be teaching heretical Arianism

Back 44

Thomas Boston

Front 45

Despite the spiritual declension, these were some of the Puritan pastors who kept the Puritan hope alive

Back 45

Matthew Henry, Thomas Boston, Samuel Dansforth, and MrAdams in New England

Front 46

One of the clearest examples of the nation's weakness and moral spiral

Back 46

The gin craze

Front 47

How should we apply what we saw regarding the Puritan Hope (specifically the third application)

Back 47

1. we must take care that our optimism regarding the future of the church beforeChrist returns is biblically-based.

2. We must especially avoid adopting an unbiblical position of eschatology which causes us toexcessively look for and focus upon advances of Christ's Kingdom in our day

3. We have every reason as Christians to be a very optimistic people regarding the futureprospects for the Kingdom of Christ in this present age before the return of Christ.

Front 48

Perhaps the clearest sign of the approaching showers of God's blessing was to be seen atNorthampton under the preaching of this man

Back 48

Back 49

justification by faith, sovereignty of God towards sinners;

Front 50

Back 50

1734 and 1735

Front 51

There was an awakening in New Jersey which was primarily connected with the labors of these two Presbyterian pastors

Back 51

William and Gilbert Tennent.

Front 52

George Whitefield's early life

Back 52

converted in 1735; trained for priesthood in the Church of England, went to Oxford and planned to go to Georgia as a missionary; came back to England to fund raise for an orphanage in Georgia; When he returned to England most churches barred him because of his preaching of the necessity of the New Birth; yet many were convicted and came to him (without an altar call); Whitefield was ordained a priest in the Church of England;

Front 53

George Whitefield's evangelism ministry

Back 53

Whitefeld was an encouraged by a Welsh evangelist to preach in the open air; began with coal miners where there wasn't even a church around; the crowds of coal miners grew; a young people's meeting grew rapidly from 50 to 5000, and they met in a field; Despite the thousands, he planned to go back to the US; John Wesley prepared to take over the ministry in England but would move doctrinally away from Whitefield; Whitefield had more than 50,000 at one gathering, and he preached without amplification. He was at this point 24 years old.

Front 54

The Great Awakening in America

Back 54

Whitfield arrived back in the US in 1739; his ministry was controversial; Had success in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania; became acquaintances with Ben Franklin; went back to Georgia to start the orphanage; this became his base for ministry; at his final sermon in Philadelphia there were 20,000 people (even though Philly's pop was only 12,000 people); Whitefield looked at the ecstatic responses to his sermons as satanic attack; in 1741 Whitefield went back to England; he continued to go back and forth between England and the US preaching until his death at age 55

Front 55

What were three positive results of the Great Awakening?

Back 55

1. Conversions (in New England between 25 and 50 thousand - 10-20% of the population of New England); many of these were already church members so revival was incredible in churches

2. Increased # of churches - 150 new congregational churches were established in under 20 years; there was an increase in pastors but not enough to even pastor all the churches; this all prepared the people for the wars that would occur (French and Indian, etc..) and the influence of skepticism coming from Britain and France; also Puritan theological perspectives influenced politics (along with perspectives from the Enlightenment - these contradicted each other)

3. A greatly increased and revived awareness of the necessity of the new birth

4. The toleration of unconverted ministers in the church was to a large extent ended

5. Useful evangelical schools of higher learning - i.e. Princeton, Dartmouth

6. The work of missions was greatly stimulated

7. The Great Awakening was instrumental in causing many churches torequire that only truly converted persons be allowed to full communion as members of a church

Front 56

The Declaration of Independence was influenced more by Enlightenment principles than by Puritan theology - true or false?

Back 56

True. The Constitution was influenced more by Puritan Theology and you see it reflected with a deeper understanding of man's depravity.

Front 57

Asahel Nettleton

Back 57

a theologically-sound preacher of the Gospel who was mightily used by the Lord during the Second Great Awakening

Front 58

Charles Finney

Back 58

the prominent evangelist during the 2nd Great Awakening; he introduced Arminianism and unbiblical revival practices;

Front 59

The 3 denominations most involved in the 2nd Great Awakening revivals

Back 59

Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodists

Front 60

From where did the first Protestant effort to carry the Gospel from Europe to an area outsideEurope originate?

Back 60

Calvin'sGeneva. In 1555, Calvin reportedly sent off 14 missionaries to Brazil as part of a group of FrenchHuguenot colonists who sought to settle near present-day Rio de Janeiro. The attemptedsettlement did not succeed and had ended by 1556

Front 61

T or F? The Dutch made early attempts to reach native populations with the Gospel inassociation with their commercial and colonizing activities

Back 61

True, it was a mixed bag to be sure.

Front 62

John Campanius

Back 62

A Swedish clergyman who came to present-day Delaware in NorthAmerica in 1643 to minister primarily to the Swedish colonists there. However, he also studiedthe local Indian language, prepared Christian literature in it, and attempted to convert the Indians; later Andrew Hesselius ministered to the Indians in Delaware as well

Front 63

The first British colony in North America was established here in 1583.

Back 63

St. John's, Newfoundland

Front 64

Thomas Harriot

Back 64

azealous Christian who spoke the Gospel to Indians on the Coast of Virginia.

Back 65

True

Front 66

True or False? The first charter of the Puritan colony of Massachusetts declaredthat the royal purpose for the colony included efforts for the conversion of the native Indians. Theseal of the colonists had "on it a North American Indian with the words proceeding from hismouth, `Come over and help us'

Back 66

True. Goes to show the minds of settlers - they were trying to do missions, and it made sense from their perspective. Unfortunately it was so mixed with greed and error.

Front 67

John Eliot

Back 67

the best known to labor among the Indians of New England, around Massachusetts Bay. He studied Algonquin, the difficult language of the Indians in New England.

Front 68

Thomas Bray

Back 68

an Anglican minister who founded the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and other missionary societies.

Front 69

Jonathan Edwards labored a number of years in efforts to reach the Indians in Massachusetts afterbeing forced out of the church in Northampton.

Back 69

True.

Front 70

Was fired with missionary zeal after being inspired by the Pietist missionaries coming out of Halle

Back 70

Count von Zinzendorf (his zeal impacted many missionaries who left Halle, and those missionaries affected William Carey)

Front 71

William Carey (p. 119)

Back 71

"the father of the modern missionary movement"; possibly the first Anglo-Saxon Protestant to propose Christians take concrete steps to take the gospel to foreign lands; a Baptist holding to our reformed beliefs; Born in England, very poor and yet he had a thirst for an education, so he read as much as he could; became a shoemaker; raised Anglican but saved at age 17 and joined with the non-conformists; his interest in missions was stirred from reading "Captain Cook's Voyages"; showed great ability with languages; pastored at a little Baptist church in Moulton; when he began to talk about taking the gospel to other nations he was at first met with resistance because of the hyper-Calvinism of his day; demonstrated in a paper that the Great Commission did not only apply to the apostles; preached his famous Nottingham sermon; formed a Baptist "missionary society"; became the first missionary to be sent out from the society; went to India and his family was plagued with problems, seems that Carey perhaps did not make his family enough of a priority; moved to Serampore; translated and printed the first page of the Bengali New Testament in 1800; first conversion that same year; complete NT translated in 1801;

Front 72

Though the particular Baptists in England had moved in a hyper-Calvinistic direction over the years, the writings of these two men brought them back to center.

Back 72

Jonathan Edwards and Andrew Fuller

Front 73

What were the two headings of Carey's famous Nottingham sermon which led to the launching of the Modern Missionary Movement

Back 73

Expect great things from God & Attempt great things for God

Front 74

What important lessons regarding biblical Calvinism should we draw from the history of missions?

Back 74

1. Contrary to the attitudes and words of many evangelical brethren in our day, biblical Calvinism - the Reformed Faith - the doctrine of the sovereignty of God in the salvation of men - is not the death of missions and evangelistic efforts

2. If one is a Biblical Calvinist it should show in their evangelism.

Front 75

Carey and those of the Baptist missionary society were highly criticized

Back 75

True. They were called `fools, madmen, tinkers, Calvinists and schismatics; their preaching "puritanical rant of the worst kind"

Front 76

Other areas that the Baptist society made inroads in missions

Back 76

Burma (1806), Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) (1812), Jamaica (1814), Cameroon (in Africa) (1845), China (1859), and the Congo

Front 77

The London Missionary Society was started by these men

Back 77

David Bogue and Thomas Haweis

Front 78

The London Missionary Society sent out missionaries to these areas:

Back 78

Tahiti, India, South Africa, China, Canton

Front 79

David Livingstone

Back 79

"the path-breaker for Christianity in Africa south of the Sahara"; engaged in Exploratory missions;

Front 80

The Church Missionary Society

Back 80

Anglicans appointed chaplains to go to India and Australia; David Brown went and started a school for Hindus; corresponded back and started the Church Missionary Society; first missionary was Henry Martyn who worked with William Carey at first and translated Bible into Urdu and also supervised translation into Arabic and Persian; the Society later went to Egypt, Turkey, Palestine, Persia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Sudan and Japan

Front 81

A few other societies that were started as part of the modern missionary movement

Back 81

The Religious Tract Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Jews Society

Front 82

One interesting difference between early missions in the US vs. Britain

Back 82

The US had no overseas possessions until 1898 so it seems the evangelistic efforts were only about the gospel and little to no political or economic motivation

Front 83

Very early missions organizations in the US

Back 83

an organization that sent out black missionaries to go to Africa; Moravians re-organized their Society for the Propagating [of] the Gospel among the Heathen

Front 84

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions

Back 84

formed by New England Congregationalists at the urging of a group of missionary-minded students at Andover Theological Seminary; led by students Samuel Mills and Adoniram Judson; American Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed brethren cooperated with them

Front 85

Adoniram Judson, his wife and coworker Luther Rice were missionaries who were paedoBaptists, but as they were going to meet up with Carey, they studied baptism and became convinced of Baptist convictions; had to resign from The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions

Back 85

True

Front 86

Because of the pleas of Judson and Rice, this society was formed back in the US

Back 86

the Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel in India and Other Foreign Parts was formed in Boston but soon became the General Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States of America for Foreign Missions, centered in Philadelphia; This remained the major framework for conducting U.S. Baptist foreign missions until the Baptists from the Southern states withdrew in 1845; this withdrawal led to the formation of the Southern Baptist Convention, formed initially for missions

Front 87

The predominant methodology used from the very beginning of the modern missionary movement

Back 87

The missionary society

Front 88

A few ways the modern missionary movement was far more Biblical than previous Romish missions attempts (monastic orders)

Back 88

1. these missionaries had the highest levels of self-denial on the part of pioneer Protestant missionaries, yet it was now largely exercised without the false and dangerous errors of Romish monastic asceticism with its vows of celibacy and poverty

2. the unbiblical notions that the state or a few wealthy individuals were the ones responsible to financially support the work of extending Christ's kingdom, and that only monks were to actively so labor, were now shattered. Rather, every member of the body of Christ began to be seen as having a crucial role to play

3. the Romish practice of "converting" whole communities was generally overturned; rather conversion of the individual was emphasized;

Front 89

Recognizing the striking improvements of the missionary society approach to missions in comparison with the past methods of Rome, and acknowledging the much good done by this approach for advancing Christ's kingdom, what is one remaining problem with this approach?

Back 89

the missionary societies generally appear to have become essentially para-church organizations which were either operating within an unbiblical denominational hierarchy or functioning independently; these societies were essentially independent entities overseeing the work of missions without clear Scriptural warrant

Front 90

What are two final lessons which we should draw from the Modern Missionary Movement?

Back 90

1. it is right that we should remember and praise God for His mighty works manifest in the modern missionary movement

2. In our study of the modern missionary movement we have seen a cloud of witnesses to the fact that it pays to serve Jesus Christ (Heb. 12)

Front 91

Why was there such a phenomenal spread of the Gospel at this time?

Back 91

Puritan foundations, revival stimulus, Great increases in the realm of man's knowledge, coupled with the development of the scientific method, which led to major technological innovations, industrial revolutions, increased individualism, relative peace

Front 92

4 aspects of Dispensationalism

Back 92

it's expansive scope, it's interpretive method (strictly literal), it's crucial distinctive, and it's eschatological calender

Front 93

How did Dispensationalism start?

Back 93

The French Revolution seemed to many to be the end times; The book, The Coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty by a Roman Catholic Jesuit scholar by the name of Manuel De Lacunza; Edward Irving who was a popular preacher in the British Isles; J.N. Darby - Anglican priest who separated and became Brethren (What Calvin is to Calvinism, Darby is to Dispensationalism)

Front 94

Two men in America who embraced Darby's Dispensationalism

Back 94

Henry Moorhouse and James H. Brookes

Front 95

The incredibly influential man who Moorhouse influenced with Dispensationalism

Back 95

Dwight L. Moody

Front 96

What are three potentially dangerous tendencies and fruits associated with classic Dispensationalism?

Back 96

1. Perhaps most serious, the Dispensational teaching that there are two separate plans of God for the church and Israel in the Bible has often, if not usually, led to a real (although varying) degree of practical neglect of much of God's Word.

2. an undue pessimism regarding the church of Christ and its future before Christ returns

3. tended to make their Dispensationalist beliefs an exceedingly narrow basis of fellowship, and to refuse ties with brethren who agree regarding the basic truths of the future hope taught in the Bible

Front 97

What is one beneficial tendency and fruit of Dispensationalism?

Back 97

Dispensationalism has tended to help highlight the very real changes which have taken place in the transition between the Old Covenant and New Covenant, as opposed to the errors of paedobaptist brethren who see too much continuity between the Old Covenant and New Covenant peoples of God

Front 98

What are the six erroneous two-stage approaches to the Christian life outlined in Chart 75B?

Back 98

Roman Catholicism, Wesleyan Perfectionism, Oberlin Perfectionism, Higher life/Keswick/Victorious Christian life, Modern Fundamentalism/Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism/Charismatics

Front 99

These two Roman Catholics taught a more passive, "quietistic" and contemplative, mystical approach to becoming a truly spiritual Christian

Back 99

Thomas Aquinas and Francis of Sales

Front 100

The Arminian presupposition that led Wesley to a perfectionism

Back 100

God cannot require something of us that we are unable to do

Front 101

What was Wesley's definition of sin?

Back 101

It is only voluntary transgression of known law.

Front 102

The two who formed Oberlin Perfectionism

Back 102

Charles Finney and Asa Mahan (president of Oberlin College in Ohio)

Front 103

Oberlin Perfectionism

Back 103

perfect obedience to the Moral Law; a believer supposedly can flip-flop back and forth between a regenerate and unregenerate state but perfection came when you don't flip flop anymore

Front 107

Several colleges and seminaries affected by the Keswick movement and Higher Life movement

Back 107

Columbia Bible College and Seminary, Dallas Seminary and Moody Bible Institute

Front 108

Several distinctives of Keswick Theology

Back 108

trichotomy (instead of a dichotomy), the evil soul remains in the Christian, the way to counter act this is a second work of grace following conversion, two definitions of sin (known sin and unknown sin), a graduated standard of God's righteousness based on the light a person has

Front 109

What are two lines of application regarding the unbiblical Keswick form of two-stage Christianity?

Back 109

1. it is not only an unbiblical error with regard to ongoing sanctification. It is also an exceedingly dangerous error in that it leads to dangerous complacency and a false sense of security for individuals in both the lower class and the higher class. It also leads to disillusionism and despair

2. We must recognize the element of truth in the Keswick movement, and see and guard against either the extreme of a moralistic Christianity that emphasizes our doing or a Christianity that loses sight of the reality that it is possible to please Christ.

Front 110

What is the distinguishing teaching of the Pentecostals and Charismatics?

Back 110

An emphasis upon a supposed crisis, post-conversion experience of Holy Spirit baptism which, according to them, is necessarily evidenced by speaking in tongues.

Front 111

A few groups that teach that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a third experience

Back 111

Front 118

Until the 1950's, the Pentecostals were basically isolated from the old mainline denominations.

Back 118

True

Front 119

By the mid-1960's, the rapidly spreading Charismatic movement had made inroads into practically all major historic denominations including the apostate Roman Catholic church

Back 119

also True

Front 120

What is an important lesson to be gained from our study regarding the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements

Back 120

1. The Pentecostals and Charismatics have multiplied rapidly and achieved great outward success, but such outward success is not the ultimate criteria of whether their practices are right and true. (The

Word of God must be our standard)

2. Positive lesson: Dead orthodoxy in a church is not enough. There must also be a living, vital relationship with Christ as well; Mere knowledge of truth is not enough. There must also be the practical living out of that knowledge, including the real outworkings of warm brotherly love; Emotions should be directed by the truth of God's Word, but emotions should not be suppressed or ignored; We are indeed dependent upon the power of the Holy Spirit in our labors in the Kingdom of God; We should have a bold (and also realistic) optimism in our efforts to extend Christ's Kingdom.
