The final part of the Pre-Conference from Dr. Fred Sanders
Tacit Trinitarianism
God has no unmet needs – there are no needs outside of the divine life
- Getting saved – an evangelical practice. The eternal son becomes the incarnate son to make others an adopted son bringing them into relationship with God.
- Knowing Jesus personally – generally trying to point to a deeper reality of communion with God. “ask Jesus into your heart” (Eph 3, being strengthened in your inner man) Puritans used that heart language, book My Heart, Christ’s Home. Jesus is present from heaven, it’s the Spirit who is indwelling. This means being indwelt by the Holy Spirit who makes Christ present here on earth being poured out from the right hand of the Father.
- Devotional Bible reading – this comes from a high view of Scripture, we know the Bible is God’s message to us.
- Understanding Scripture’s big story – the big story of Scripture is very evident, about how the Father sends the Son and the Spirit
- Conversational prayer –
- Evangelism –
- World mission –
- Daily spirituality –
