| Posted 8/2/2002 6:13 AM (GMT -6) |   | Enrichment the AG Journal for Ministers has an article, not too favorable, and missing the key arguements for the open view of God. I am dissappointed and would love for people (esp. pentecostals) to write the doctrinal purity commt. chair that wrote this article. Before the AG makes a position paper on the issue.
AG people in particular--if you are pro-openess, or at least willing to admit it has Biblical merit and our tent is big enough to include it--write to the AG, to Enrichment, to the Pentecostal Evangel and articulate why the Open View makes pentecostal theology coherent with praxis!
I would like to the site, but that article is not available in full text on the Enrichment site. I shall try to scan it and put it up.
BTW I am an ordained AG minister.

| Posted 8/2/2002 9:23 AM (GMT -6) | | Hey sboese,
I'm denominationally United Methodist and not AG, sooo my words wouldn't carry much weight; however, it may help if people on this board could have access to the article. Is it online?
Warmly in Christ,
Tiggers
PS
Sheesh, I hope AG doesn't take an official anti-openness position  !!! If AG, with a popular Arminian theology, labels openness theology heresy, I can't even imagine who will be next  !

Can you email it to me directly? I corresponded with Gary Allen on this when they were still planning the article. At that time Amos Yong of Bethel in Minneapolis was slated to write it. In fact he did write it. And it was a balanced article. Guess they decided to go with somebody else. To bad.
I'm an A/G missionary myself and have spoken quite a bit with folks about the open view (which I hold to). I really hope the A/G doesn' close its mind on this one.

| Posted 8/5/2002 5:04 AM (GMT -6) | | EVERYONE, Enrichment Journal just contacted me, the article is now online:
http://enrichmentjournal.ag.org/enrichmentjournal/200204/200204_134_openness_of_god.cfm
Once again please contact the editors of Enrichment to see if we can get a more balanced approach. Esp. If you are AG!!
Thanks
