Topic: Sola Fide – Firming our Grasp

Instructor:  Ryan Vinten
Hosted by:  Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, Hamilton.

Sola Fide is the article by which the church stands or falls. Therefore it is essential that Christians, and especially Christian ministers, have a firm grasp of this vital and beautiful doctrine. To further this we will survey the Bible’s teaching on the topic with help from history – considering such things as its nature, the various threats to it and the
stakes if those threats aren’t withstood.

The Roving Classroom is a yearly program involving four block-study sessions that are taught by various pastors within the fellowship (and on some occasions, by invited guest speakers).The classroom is hosted at varied (and roving) geographical locations around New Zealand, as each church offers to host a weekend. Each year the calendar will be ordered around the four traditional theological categories (Exegetical; Systematic; Historical; Practical Theology). Topics within these broader categories are both diverse and relevant, allowing for a truly holistic ministerial training.
