OPENING SESSION
(1) 7:00 PM: Pastor
J. Dan Gill
Did Paul invent Christianity?
Biography: Dan founded “Higher Ground Church” near Nashville, TN and is Editor in Chief at 21st Century Reformation (21stcr.org). He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and has studied biblical languages at Vanderbilt Divinity School and Belmont University. Dan is the author of “The One – In Defense of God” and lives with his wife Sharon in Tennessee.
Synopsis: With the development of post-biblical theologies, we find extreme dispensationalism that proposes two or more gospels. That is, the Apostle proclaimed a different gospel than that of Jesus and the other apostles. This idea has developed to the point that some have said that Paul is the one who invented Christianity as we now know it. This presentation is a refutation of dispensatationalism and the two gospel theory.

Tracy Z
The Court Will Convene, Daniel 7:26-28
Biography: Tracy is a career missionary who served in Russia for nearly 20 years. She continues to serve in missions and alongside many scattered brethren and helps to encourage and strengthen the saints.

Synopsis: We often neglect the reality of God’s coming Kingdom. One day the court will convene and the kingdoms (countries) of this world will be judged and become the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and of the saints. Jesus will receive all authority and God’s rule will be over all the Earth. This earthly Kingdom will never be destroyed. 1000 years later it will be handed over to the Father so that God may be all in all and there will be no more pain, suffering or death.

He and Rebekah have been to Africa to serve the churches there for about twenty-five years. Mission work is a great part of their lives.
Synopsis: If we could just simplify our words to be the words of the Father, Jesus, and the Bible, we may be better able to do Matthew 24:14, and clarify Theology and Christology. Examples from creation, Noah, Moses, the Prophets, Jesus, Peter, Paul, and the book of Revelation will be reviewed in order to arrive at a few simple words that could be our keys to evangelism.
