Do you
think you're saved now?

Something else he taught was on apostles and prophets. He taught that all the apostles and prophets of the New Testament church died in the first century and there could never be any more. He taught that there were only twelve apostles--never were any more and never could be any more-- and that Matthias in Acts 1:26 was not a real apostle. I was new in the Lord and hadn't been reading my Bible for long when I went there but I saw about 20 people (even one woman) called apostles in the Bible.

Reminds me of something one of my kids was taught in Christian school: that every bone in Jesus' body was broken, on the cross. (He made the mistake of trying to correct his teacher's error. I thought he was smarter than that!

When I was at ABI I don't ever remember Bro. Norris being called "the Bear.
I guess he got that title later. We thought his initials S.G. stood for "Sagging Gut" because of the way his stomach hung out and the way his necktie hung down over it and followed its contour.
