CHARISMATISM q & a

Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo, STM, PhD

Mondays, 9 January-23 April 2012, 7.30-9.30 pm

Charismatism is pervasive in Christendom today. Some view the Charismatic movement positively calling it a revival or renewal; others see it negatively calling it confusion and chaos. Is the Charismatic movement from God?

This course will attempt to examine the Charismatic movement in the light of Scripture by way of a question-and-answer approach. Among the many important questions that will be answered are these: What is the gift of tongues? What is the 2nd baptism of the Spirit or the slaying of the Spirit? Have the sign-gifts ceased? Does God continue to perform miracles? Does God still speak through visions and dreams? Can Christians be possessed by demons? Is it God’s will for Christians to be healthy and wealthy?

If you want biblical answers to the many questions the Charismatic movement has raised, this course is specially designed for you.

the names of god

Rev Dr Prabhudas Koshy, ThM, ThD

Thursdays, 5 January-26 April 2012, 7.30-9.30 pm

God is known to His people by many names as found in the Bible. All the names of God are sacred to His people. His names have been reverentially and affectionately remembered by His people and used in their worship, in their hymns, in their prayers and even in their conversations.

Each of the three persons of the Holy Trinity—God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit—has unique names or titles. The names of God are His personal disclosure of His character, His mighty acts, His relationship with His people, etc. When Scripture employs the phrase “the name of God,” God in His fullness is meant. This accounts for Israel’s great reverence for God’s name.

The revelation of the names of God in the Bible also tells us of God’s desire for us to know Him intimately and deeply. His names remind us of His great condescension to communicate and to establish a relationship with His people. They are a promise unto us that He is our God and He will guide us to Himself and His great blessings.

The course on the names of God is a fascinating study of Scripture, both theologically and practically.

Online Courses

Information Technology (IT) has made it possible to offer distance learning efficiently and effectively. Many colleges and universities today see distance learning through IT as the answer to educating self-motivated learners who desire to gain knowledge and experience in an academic setting.

In a postmodern world where truth is deemed uncertain and unknowable, it is vital that every Christian know what truth is and where it is found. The information explosion that we see today fuels the postmodernistic worldview. There are so many ideas, views, opinions, perspectives of practically every aspect of life found in the internet. What is right and what is wrong? What is truth and what is error? The World Wide Web offers a world of information, both good and bad. The many voices in the internet can overwhelm the undiscerning and untrained mind and heart, and lead to confusion and despair.

For this reason, FEBC seeks to accelerate the twofold teaching command of the Great Commission: (1) "teach all nations" and (2) "teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" (Matt 28:19-20). By means of IT and the internet, FEBC can go the distance to "teach all nations ... to observe all things" in the perfectly inspired and preserved, infallible and inerrant Words of God which are the sole and supreme authority of faith and practice, by which we discern truth from error, right from wrong.

Besides the traditional, on-campus "Basic Theology for Everyone" courses held on Monday and Thursday nights, three online courses are offered this semester: (1) ELEMENTS OF THEOLOGY 1, (2) CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS and (3) EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
