Analysis of Church Government — Elder Rule, Congregationalism, Episcopacy

Analysis of Church Government — Elder Rule, Congregationalism, Episcopacy

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Church government sounds like a dry subject — until you realize it reaches right into the life of the church. It determines who leads, who makes decisions, how accountability works, and how the congregation holds together when things get hard. Three broad models have shaped Christian thinking on...
The marks of the church — word, sacrament, discipline

The marks of the church — word, sacrament, discipline

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
When Christians ask "What makes a true church?" they are not asking about buildings, music styles, or attendance numbers. The Reformation tradition points to three marks that have stood the test of time: the right preaching of the Word, the faithful administration of the sacraments, and the...

What makes a church a true church?

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
In an age of religious noise, slick branding, and spiritual confusion, one question cuts through everything else: What actually makes a church a true church? The answer has nothing to do with the building, the style, or the crowd — and everything to do with faithfulness to Jesus Christ, the...
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit — what is the unforgivable sin?

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit — what is the unforgivable sin?

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Few passages in the New Testament have caused more spiritual anguish than the one where Jesus says there is a sin that will never be forgiven — not in this age or the one to come. Christians across the centuries have lain awake wondering whether they have committed it. Sensitive consciences,...

Spiritual gifts — how to think about them today

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Ask ten Christians what spiritual gifts are and you'll get ten different answers — and a fair amount of discomfort in the room. Some associate gifts with charismatic excess and want nothing to do with the conversation. Others are so fixated on identifying their personal gift mix that they've...
The Spirit’s Role in Sanctification

The Spirit’s Role in Sanctification

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Every Christian knows they're supposed to be growing. The problem is figuring out how. Try harder? Pray more? White-knuckle the sin you keep falling into? The New Testament has a different answer than most people expect — and it runs straight through the person of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification...
Baptism of the Spirit — what is it and when does it happen?

Baptism of the Spirit — what is it and when does it happen?

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Few phrases in the New Testament have generated more theological controversy per word than "baptism of the Holy Spirit." For classical Pentecostals, it's a second definite work of grace after conversion, evidenced by speaking in tongues. For Reformed evangelicals, it's simply another way of...
The cessationist vs. continuationist debate

The cessationist vs. continuationist debate

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Few debates in contemporary Christianity generate more heat with less light than the question of spiritual gifts. Do the miraculous gifts of the Spirit — tongues, prophecy, healing, miracles — continue today? Or did they cease with the apostolic age? Cessationists say they ended....
