林慈信
改革宗神学是什么？华腓德说改革宗神学不过是正本清源、返朴归真的基督教信仰。换
句话说，改革宗神学的核心是“圣经教导的教义系统”。很多人一提起改革宗神学就会
有漫画式的联想，认为改革宗神学就是预定论啦、无千禧年主义啦，等等。
当我想到改革宗神学的时候我立刻能够想到的至少有以下11点改革宗神学强调的重点：
1、主权
上帝是有主权的主。关于上帝我们必须知道的最重要的事情就是“上帝就是上帝”。上
帝在宝座上为王。耶稣是我们生命的主。因此上帝有权要求我们必须顺服他。
2、恩典
上帝是满有恩典的主。我们得救唯靠上帝的恩典。我们没有任何可以自夸的地方。我们
在上帝面前并无功德。但是，因着上帝爱我们并通过基督接纳了我们，我们应该满有谦
卑、感恩，知道我们不配，而同时有目标感和使命感。我们不再活在律法之下，而是活
在丰满的恩典之中，这恩典驱使我们感恩顺服。
3、圣约
上帝曾与祂的子民立约。上帝信守他自己所有的应许。因此我们也应当是立约者和守约
者。上帝的圣约保证了祂对我们的爱。我们也应当彼此立约，在教会和社会中履行我们
的责任。
4、教会
上帝呼召祂的子民敬拜祂、学习遵行祂的真道以及传福音。基督徒应该有强烈的目标感
和使命感。教会的存在不仅仅是网络传福音。敬拜和在真道上成长对于传福音都是基本
的要求。
5、文化
我们应该在文化、社会和思想的领域做光做盐。工商界和各类专业都有其意义，因为上
帝呼召基督徒在其中敬业工作。世俗的工作并非一定邪恶，也是“跟随基督”含义的一
部分，基督徒通过它们在世上做光做盐。
6、国度
基督现在是我们的主，祂的国度既是现在的，也是将来的。基督徒在圣洁的生活、热切
的盼望和在社会、文化中的积极参与中等候主再来，福音使命和文化使命并重。我们不
是终日猜测主再来的日子，消极坐等。
7、律法
旧约的律法仍然是基督徒门徒生活的有意义的指导。上帝的律法和上帝的爱之间没有冲
突。上帝先拯救祂的子民，然后要祂的子民通过遵行祂的律法来爱祂。我们不是因着遵
行律法得救，但是我们得救以后却应该遵行律法。
8、真道与圣灵
圣灵主要通过上帝的真道工作，这真道是圣灵默示而录为文字（圣经）的。属灵经验需
要按照圣经解释。
9、讲道
圣经的解释、教导和应用应该是讲道的主要内容。讲道应该在敬拜事奉中站首要的地位
。（音乐和其他敬拜的内容也很重要，但是宣讲上帝的话语更为主要。）
10、悔改
悔改是人归信成为基督徒的基本要求。悔改必须包括对罪的伤心痛悔和来到十字架面前
请求（并且相信接受）上帝通过基督的受死所给予的赦免。
11、护教
我们必须向非基督徒传扬、教导基于圣经的真理。我们必须揭露他们的思想基础，即导
致他们不信和伪善的思想基础。这是护教的双重任务。
另外简单谈两点
A.关于“加尔文主义五要点”：
改革宗神学全面接受被缩写成TULIP的所谓“加尔文主义五要点”，即：
T-（人）完全的堕落
U-（上帝）无条件的拣选
L-（上帝）有限的救赎
I-（上帝）不可抗拒的恩典
P-（信徒的）坚忍和（上帝的）保守
不过我不认为这五点足以概括改革宗神学的全部内容。所以我的“十一点”比TULIP的
五点更广。但是我相信我的所有“十一点”中包含了TULIP的内容。
B.关于“信徒人人皆祭司”：
路德的信义宗神学很强调“信徒人人皆祭司”。加尔文则侧重于信徒群体指派牧师和长
老照管会众群体。改革宗神学相信当我们充分、清楚、系统、勤奋和热情地宣讲、教导
上帝的真道的时候，人们就会被感动，不再安于现状而是起来发热心、做光做盐、为主
做工。华人教会似乎看不到这样的情况，我想主要的原因是我们一直没有做到清楚、系
统、热情地宣讲、教导圣经所教导的教义的整体系统。

想想看，这种环境下出来的神学生，对圣经的诠释，能有二话吗。

发帖数: 3781 | 12 I am not a christian. I am a believer of truth and love. I like the idea o
f millennial kingdom. Most likely, millennial kingdom is biblically true.
God is an all loving God. It is logical that God want to give us a chance t
o experience the kingdom of heaven where the satan is bound. Given that the
teaching of Jesus has been so distorted during the past 2000 years, millenn
ial kingdom is a bright idea to make all things right by the king Jesus hims
elf.

Controversy
Enns's book, Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of
the Old Testament, proved controversial at Westminster Theological Seminary
(WTS). WTS President Peter Lillback expressed that it "has caught the
attention of the world so that we have scholars that love this book, and
scholars who have criticized it very deeply…. We have students who have
read it say it has liberated them. We have other students that say it's
crushing their faith and removing them from their hope. We have churches
that are considering it, and two Presbyteries have said they will not send
students to study under Professor Enns here."[14]
The general content of Inspiration and Incarnation was taught by Enns over
his fourteen year teaching career at Westminster Theological Seminary. It
was only after the book’s publication in 2005 that a lengthy controversy
ensued in the wake of major administrative changes, most notably the
election of Peter Lillback as president in 2005. The main point of
contention was whether the book was within the theological boundaries of the
Westminster Confession of Faith. Westminster faculty members take an oath
that their teaching will be in line with that confession.
Lillback initiated a series of regular faculty meetings ("Faculty Theology
Fellowship") to discuss Enns and his book. Those meetings, moderated by
Lillback, took place over a two-year period and led to the preparation of
two written reports, at Lillback's direction, to aid the faculty in
determining whether or not Enns was in violation of his oath. (It should be
noted that, although Westminster has had a Board of Trustees for some time,
it has historically been governed by its faculty, particularly in
theological matters.) These reports were written by the two field committees
members generally opposed to Enns's book, and the Hermeneutics Field
Committee, composed of members generally favorable towards Enns's ideas.
After both committees reported their findings in the form of written reports
, as well as written response by each committee to the other's report,
faculty members William Edgar and Michael Kelly prepared a motion (known as
the Edgar-Kelly Motion) declaring that Enns's writing and teaching were
within the bounds of his faculty oath. All official documents used in these
faculty debates, including both field committee reports and the Edgar-Kelly
Motion, can be downloaded from the Westminster Theological Seminary web site
here. The motion was approved by the faculty, 12-8, in December 2007.
Despite the work of these committees and the resulting faculty vote,
President Lillback referred the matter immediately to the Board of Trustees.
On March 26, 2008, the Board of Trustees at Westminster Theological Seminary
voted 18–9 to suspend Enns from his position effective May 23, 2008.[15]
Though the faculty voted 12–8 that the work falls within the parameters of
the Westminster Confession of Faith,[15] the chairman of the Board said that
a majority of the members on the Board at that time felt the book was
incompatible with the Confession.[14] As of August 1, 2008, Enns and the
seminary agreed to part ways.[16] Following the Board's vote, nine trustees
resigned from the board.
