Bob L. Ross vs. David Brown Debate

ROSS VS. BROWN DEBATE ON THE
WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

By Larry Wessels

Hello Everyone,

Greetings in Christ. We have just recently uploaded one of my favorite debates on Yahoo Video (put "Larry Wessels" in the Yahoo Video search box if you want to see the over 180 videos we have up so far). This debate will show the viewer how nonborn again religionists argue against spiritually regenerated Christians. This debate is a great example of how men who practice "Christian" religion in their mind yet have never been supernaturally "born again" by the spirit of God (John 3:3-8, Titus 3:5-8) will attack those who claim a supernatural indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

It is the age old battle that started with Cain & Abel between those who are spiritually regenerated by God & those who are not. Since nonborn again religionists have never experienced the supernatural touch of the Holy Spirit they naturally deny that anyone else has had the experience. This is why the original founders of Campbellism replaced the work of the Holy Spirit with water baptism or in some cases a doctrine that says being "born again" happens "after" you rise from the dead. With this basis then Campbellites concentrate on "works righteousness" for salvation before a Holy God.

The links to this fascinating debate follow the description below:

Of the many debates that Bob L. Ross of Pilgrim Publications has participated in over the decades this is the favorite of Larry Wessels of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/Christian Debater (see websites BibleQuery.org, HistoryCart.com & MuslimHope.com). Here we find Bob Ross in theological combat with yet another "Campbellite" preacher named David Brown, at that time Director of the Southwest School of Bible Studies located at the Southwest Church of Christ in Austin, Texas. The "Church of Christ," "The Christian Church," "Disciples of Christ," & others come out of a early 19th century "Restoration Movement" founded by four primary men named Alexander & Thomas Campbell, Barton W. Stone & Walter Scott. These men claimed that "the Holy Spirit operates only through the word of God" & there is no indwelling of the Spirit in believers or a direct operation of the Spirit thus reinterpreting John 3:3-8 to baptism or something that happens in the resurrection.

All I want to say that Calvinism replaces faith in Jesus Christ with an unsearchable "Schindler's List" (the list of the saved written before the beginning of time(?))and therefore offers no hope.
