Phillip Ross replied to Lisa Robinson's discussion 'Gnosticizing Evangelicalism'

Paul dealt with this issue at Corinth. The Corinthian church had been captured by a false teaching that brought it wealth, success and influence. Oddly, the false, Gnostic spirituality being taught was based on popular, Greek wisdom and had produc...

Phillip Ross replied to Tony Papadakis's discussion 'Sola Scriptura'

Sola Scriptura cannot be accurately considered as a stand-alone doctrine, as odd as that might seem at first glance. It is a kind of motto, and as such represents a larger argument, that of the Protestant Reformation. There were five "solas" of th...

Phillip Ross replied to Rey Reynoso's discussion 'Christians Who Know'

Here's what the Westminster Confession says about this: "V. We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the holy Scripture; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the maje...

Xulon, Agreed. I actually put no stock in polls. They can be and are skewed by what questions are asked and the choices for answers. Barna has found a niche and makes money from it. Charles, Correct, all seminaries are not liberal, and yet almost...

Phillip Ross commented on Phillip Ross's blog post 'Ministers in Skirts'

Thanks. I agree, but they aren't my words. I was quoting an article by Doug Jones. It may be a matter of the Westminster Confession 1:5: V. We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scri...

Jim Korth commented on Phillip Ross's blog post 'Ministers in Skirts'

Philip, I loved your comment on 1 Tim. 2, "the words are plain only to those who are willing for them to be plain..." Sadly, fewer and fewer people allow the plain sense of God's Word to stand. I was told in Bible College, "If the plain sense make...

Phillip Ross commented on Dr Mike's blog post 'In Defense of Seminaries and Seminarians'

Barna and others have provided decades of data about the drift into faithlessness by the church at large -- across the board, which I and many others attribute to liberalism. I'm sure you are familiar with Barna's work. By my reckoning and readin...

Harry commented on Phillip Ross's blog post 'Ministers in Skirts'

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod differs from the ELCA in many ways, one of the differences is that the LC-MS doesn't ordain woman as pastors or allow them to preach from the pulpit. There is a very good book on the subject. There are over tw...

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself

I have pastored churches in Berkeley, California; St. Louis, Missouri, Evansville, Indiana; Bellefonte, Pennsylvania; and Marietta, Ohio.

Following my post-ordination conversion to biblical Christianity, I have labored for Gospel renewal through radio, music, counseling, and writing. Coming to see the counter productivity of my B.S in Philosophy, and my M.Div. from Pacific School of Religion, California, I repudiated my formal education, and reeducated himself in the historic traditions of Protestant Christianity.

I am the author of many books on biblical exposition.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

Calvinist, Reformed Congregational

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

Calvin, Van Til
