Talk:Kingdom theology

Hi 24.243.29.94, I have reverted your edits as they are an evaluation of KT. The purpose of this article is to describe the theological beliefs from a NPOV. Rodney Longhurst 05:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the phrase "cornerstone of Christianity," since the doctrine of the rapture is no such thing. This article needs to be neutral. GPeoples (talk) 10:43, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Kingdom theologians
Hi there. I'm looking to improve this article; I don't know if anyone is actively watching it. Anyway, I've found good sources god George Eldon Ladd and John Wimber, but I have found nothing reliable for Gordon Fee and Dallas Willard. Does anyone know where I can find some good sources? Or are they not significant enough to be included? Thanks. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 18:46, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Gordon Fee regularly taught about the Kingsom of god as "Here and Not Here". He was a member of the Assemblies of God, and therfore believed in active spiritual gifts. For example, “Sometimes [the Kingdom] is attested by signs and wonders and other times by joy in great affliction.” -- Gordon Fee, Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God (Peabody, Mass: Hendrickson Publishers, 1996), 146. 2600:8800:520E:D000:7D71:C174:1C32:3163 (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

REPLY: Willard's theology is perhaps best spelled out in his book __The Divine Conspiracy'__. Dallas Willard is rightfully considered a "Kingdom Theologian" in the broad sense, and he acknowledges work of the Holy Spirit, such as healing, answered prayer, and especially the powerful effects of God's grace, among other things. However, John Wimber is significantly more charismatic and "signs and wonders" oriented. I have read everything Willard has written; I was surprised to see him mentioned in the same breath as Wimber in terms of being charismatic. Both taught as adjunct professors at Fuller Seminary and shared mutual respect (and some "Kingdom Theology" views), but Willard should not be listed alongside Wimber as "emphasizing signs and wonders as the coming of the kingdom of God,[4] " I doubt Gordon Fee belongs with Wimber on that score either, but I'm not as well acquainted with his views on this issue. I edited Willard's name out of this sentence (being certain it does not belong there) but left Gordon Fee untouched, as I'm not as certain about him. Jay stanley (talk) 06:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
