2006 Annual Meeting of the International Society of Frontier Missiology: Student Track

September 17-18 | Atlanta, Georgia

Jerusalem Council Applied: Apostolic Insights into Today’s Insider Movements

What does God require for salvation? What should be required of believers beyond what is essential to salvation? How did the apostles recognize the work of the Holy Spirit among the non-Jewish peoples of their day? What parallels exist between the Jerusalem Council and “insider movements?” Case studies of modern “insider movements” will be examined in light of the Jerusalem council and other New Testament passages. Speakers will present a range of positions concerning insider movements and will end with an open panel discussion.

Students will be attending all regular ISFM sessions but will end later in the evening on Monday to allow time for debriefing and discussion with leaders.

Attendees are not required to be enrolled in school.
