This is a study of initiation into the New Testament, which attempts to reveal a synthesis of the "liberal" emphasis on repentance, the "evangelical" emphasis on faith, the "sacramental" on Baptism and the "pentecostal" on the Spirit. These "four spiritual doors" are then related to conversion and regeneration. The second section provides an exegetical study of two dozen crucial or controversial passages, questioning many traditional interpretations. The final section on pastoral application demonstrates the inadequacy of much modern evangelistic counselling.
David Pawson has an itinerant ministry to church leaders in the UK and overseas. He is the author of numerous books, and has never been afraid to speak out for biblical truth even when his teaching has gone against the tide of popular opinion.
