The Relationship Between The Holy Spirit And Baptism In The New Testament, Paul Peckman
The Relationship Between The Holy Spirit And Baptism In The New Testament, Paul Peckman
Master of Divinity Thesis
Although a thorough critique of Dunn's position cannot be attempted here, this paper will attempt to defend the opposite contention, namely that the Holy Spirit and Baptism are uniquely, indissolubly, and necessarily connected in the New Testament. Lampe's comments in regard to the Pauline evidence is cogent at this point: "Pauline thought affords no ground whatever for the modern theories which seek to effect a separation in the one action and to distinguish a 'Spirit-Baptism' and a 'water-Baptism,' not as the inward and outward parts of one sacrament, but as independent entitities."
Project--Disciple-A Model For Parish Youth Ministry, Thomas Hirsch
Project--Disciple-A Model For Parish Youth Ministry, Thomas Hirsch
Master of Divinity Thesis
This study is written to assist youth leaders and adult counselors in working out models for ministry among young people in the parish. As this model develops it will become obvious that its practical application is limited to the parish medium, although many of the principles underlying its structure may indeed find adaptation elsewhere. To further aid the reader, a rather extensive bibliography is included also. With such an index of available resources, the creative youth leader or adult counselor will have an excellent platform from which to begin youth ministry.
