Pentecostal Theology | PentecostalTheology.comIn “The Cost of Discipleship,” Bonhoeffer rebuked nominal Christians: “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline. Communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.”
“If we don’t have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.” ~Pres. Harry S. Truman

I’ve just recently found a love for Bonhoeffer…his story is an amazing testimony and I find his theology challenging in a very good way.
Pentecostal Theology [06/24/2015 11:33 AM]
And his theology closely reflects story personal story and experience as a believer

A good rebuke for us, where the measurement of spirituality is now in quantity minus quality.

I don’t think the american church knows to much about discipleship. Its foreign to such an independent and self absorbed people.
Varnel Watson
You are probably right Joe Absher but what do we do?
Joe Absher
Reach one teach one
Varnel Watson
impeach one?

you can forget you discipleship efforts if you can’t stay on task
Paul L. King
This was a key book that greatly influenced me during my freshman year in college. I committed to a life of discipleship and discipling others.

many claim he wasnot purely evangelical and hence his Christology should not apply to us
