In Dr. Bowdle’s book entitled, “Redemption, Accomplished and Applied,” Dr. Bowdle actually promotes the Calvinistic view of sanctification. There seemed to be much controversy with students/pastors and Dr. Bowdle regarding this matter. Perhaps his view was determined from his attending Presbyterian Post Graduate schools?
I retrieved my copy of Bowdle’s textbook and immediatel I saw the chapter heading Sanctification and Glorification and just that title is Calvinism in scope. He was a Keswick Reformed (not much different from moderate Calvinism) and they mingle Sanctification with glorification.
Melvin, what part of the chapter best conveys Bowdle’s snactification?
I still am of the opinion that Gause was more Calvinist than Bowdle.
No, I would think that Bowdle was far from Gause.
Dr. Bowdle would have been an excellent professor with the AoG schools.
Dr. Bowdle’s teaching helped to bring about the 1986 occurrence. Students accepted his theology. Some brought him before the board with the accusation he not only failed to teach CoG doctrine, but was teaching false (AoG) doctrine.
do you have a link for that occurrence – you can inbox me if you don’t want to post it.
I have several. I would have to find them. I believe some were actually posted on the Internet.
