Progressive Revelation?

What is the doctrine of Progressive Revelation, and how does it differ from the Light Doctrine?

Quote:
"In his paper “Dispensationalism and Oneness Pentecostal Theology,” David Bernard concluded that dispensationalism is right to emphasize “the literal interpretation of Scripture, progressive revelation, the existence of various ages in God’s dealings with humanity . . . , the uniqueness of the New Testament church, and the reality of the Millennium.”

Bro. Anglin,
Would you also have the notes from D. Bernard and D. Norris' paper
on Dispensationalism, from that day also!

They can be accessed on the UGST website by clicking on the "Symposium" link.

The Dispensationalism papers are under the 2008 tab.

Re: Progressive Revelation?

Not sure that progressive revelation is exactly dispensationalism ... as those who hold to this would believe that since Christ's death and resurrection we are in the church age or the dispensation of grace.

I find Bernard's insistence for example that the alleged prohibition on jewelry is not an OT thang but rather based on NT principles.

Timmy, you being on this site precludes you from the exception in the "light doctrine." Sorry.

My understanding is that light doctrine is the concept that those who follow Christ but don't have a full revelation of the truth (having never HEARD it, Timmy) will be saved based on what they do know. Therefore people like Luther and Calvin may be in Heaven even though they weren't baptized in Jesus' name and didn't receive the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues. The common statement of light doctrine is "They followed God in all the truth they knew."

Am I right?

Re: Progressive Revelation?

Well, it's a long shot, have to admit. But have I really "heard" it, if it doesn't make sense to me?

Re: Progressive Revelation?

yes.

I might add that all teaching as I grew up supported the light doctrine. It was what I knew but I wasn't aware it wasn't the norm.
