NEW WARNIE AWARD WINNER!

Congratulations to our new WARNIE AWARD WINNER! - Mike Russell from Eternal Perspectives. Why don't you drop in and leave a comment! Here is some information on Mike…

Christian Life:
I have been a Christian since December 10, 1974. I don’t think there’s been any significant period of time that I’ve been “carnal,” although I’m sure it happens more than I’m aware. Either that or I’ve never been in fellowship.

Family:
I am married (25 years on 4.5.05) and have two daughters, Amanda (22) and Madeline (16). I was 30 when I married; Cathy was almost 28: it was the first - and last! - for both of us.

Education:
· D.Min., Trinity Theological Seminary (not Trinity Evangelical Divinity School near Chicago), Christian Education and Discipleship. TTS is not an accredited school in the U.S., but I still learned what I wanted to learn.
· M.A., Denver Seminary, Counseling;
· B.S., Indiana State University, Speech Communication;

Church Affiliation:
Grace Bible Church.

Theological Orientation:
· Just like the cover says, the Bible is holy, i.e., is not profane in any way;
· Dispensational, with a de-emphasis on eschatology;
· Modified Calvinist: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Unlimited Atonement (not universalism), Irresistible Grace, Preservation (not perseverance) of the Saints;
· Evangelical;
· Five Solas;
· The church is edifying when gathered, evangelizing when scattered;
· Pretrib, premil - not that it matters, since God’s going to do what He has in mind and won’t ask for my opinion: the point of prophecy is to promote holiness, not produce books or controversies.

A very worthy winner!
