“Purgatory is also to be rejected because it is fundamentally at variance with the biblical doctrine of justification. To die in faith, even when that faith is exercised in one’s final conscious moments, is to die justified, clothed in the perfect righteousness of Christ and assured of full acquittal at God’s judgment seat.” Know the Truth, Bruce Milne.

Know the Truth: A Handbook of Christian Belief, Bruce Milne
Every Christian is a theologian. Whether consciously or unconsciously, each person of faith embraces a belief system. And each believer, whether in a deliberate manner or merely implicitly, reflects on the content of these beliefs and their significance for Christian life.
– Theology for the community of God. Stanley J. Grenz
The written Word cannot be separated from the incarnate Word. The Bible can be properly interpreted only from the perspective of a living faith in Christ who is its central theme, the climax and center of the entire Biblical revelation of God’s person and purposes.
– Know the Truth: A Handbook of Christian Belief. Bruce Milne
I have never seen myself as a theologian … until my first Theology class at evening college last night.
