一個宗派如何回應信仰的衝擊?原則上,彼此同心面對,一起確立應有的立場,並加以教導,是必要的方法。然而,在實際處境,當宗派出現不同意見時,一個宗派又需要如何面對?如何避免問題再出現? 

此論文探討宣信、滕近輝牧師與宣道會的聖靈觀,從而認識一個宗派在百多年的歷史裏,如何在不同的地區,按着聖經教導持守聖靈的觀念,來面對靈恩運動的衝擊,以致成為我們信仰的省思。

 

ABSTRACT

Denominations abound with faith in Christ shall often encounter challenges on their stance. In order not to affect by adverse challenges on its Christian faith, ideally, the correct ways to respond is first and foremost, to build up the bond of love within the denomination; and further to establish and teach the proper standpoint based on the Truth. Nonetheless, there are bound to be unforeseen obstacles in the course of handling these challenges. The most common would be divergence of views within the denomination. How may a denomination respond, in face of different opinions, and prevent reoccurrence of the problem? 

The paper explores the Pneumatology of Dr. A. B. Simpson, Rev. Philip Teng and Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA). It goes on further to discuss the response of the denomination – C&MA, which has all along been holding onto the Truth regarding the Holy Spirit as expressed and revealed in the Bible, to meet the challenges from the emergence of the Charismatic movement over the last century. The paper hopes, through understanding the C&MA approach, we would be able to engage in a constructive introspection of our Christian faith.
