The List
|
||
Contact me here if you have additions, changes or suggestions. Also, since I have not heard the majority of these teachers, please let me know if are inaccurate in their teaching (my concern is with major stated doctrines and not with minor differences of opinion). Updated April 29, 2024. Most recently updated: the doctrinal churches and the online exegesis of the books of the Bible.
A lot of what you find on these 50+ pages are a result of L. S. Chafer and his founding of Dallas Theological Seminary, which was, at one time, the seminary in the United States. One of his students was Lieutenant Colonel R. B. Thieme, Jr., who took what he learned in Dallas Theological Seminary and developed a unique ministry founded upon the ICE approach to the teaching of Scripture (Isagogics, Categories and Exegesis). There are 3 areas in which the colonel made a fundamental impact upon Christianity in the 20th and 21st centuries: (1) he taught the mechanics of Christianity; (2) he developed an up-to-date Christian vocabulary; and (3) he emphasized the verse-by-verse teaching of the Word of God above all else in the assemblage of the local church. R. B. Thieme’s Obituary. The comments of his guest book.
This first list will be a number of what I hope are Doctrinal Churches.
I have compiled these links from links given on doctrinal websites, and then from links of those links. I have not verified that each source provides accurate doctrine. For me, I look at two things: is salvation by faith alone in Christ alone; and do they explain rebound (1John 1:9) accurately (silently naming your sins to God in order to have your fellowship with Him restored). One of the sites which I came across, one started emphasizing repentance when it came to the naming of one’s sins to God, despite the fact that there is nothing in the 1st chapter of John about repentance (nor is there anything about repentance in any rebound passage). I must admit to also being concerned when a church does not begin their service without rebounding (privately naming one’s sins to God). There is at least one ministry listed below where that is not a part of their standard operating procedure (I personally attended the church when out of town). When considering putting yourself under the authority of this or that teacher, keep these things in mind.
Secondary, but absolutely important issues include: do they teach dispensationalism; is their ministry a grace ministry, which means, do they pester your for money (there is nothing wrong with providing a place on a website to give, as long as it is not tied to receiving doctrinal information). Obviously, a pastor-teacher and other church personnel will receive salaries, and there is nothing wrong with that (and unless you are a deacon of that church, their salary is not your concern). I am just saying that, you ought to be discerning and not assume that, just because someone is listed below, that they have been properly vetted by me.
I have a statement of faith at my website, and what they teach ought to be in agreement with that statement. Most of these churches have similar statements of faith posted on their websites.
I have just added to this list what appear to be 3 online churches, although one is properly more of an online ministry than a church. This list follows the list of doctrinal churches.
There are a lot of excellent doctrinal materials available online for kids, as this ought to be a focus for any parent with children (all parents need to teach their children the truth). I have also heard of some mothers having vacation Bible schools in their homes, and that is an excellent idea. I have placed these links under other ministries. There is nothing more important than the parent teach their children Bible doctrine.
God has made Bible doctrine easily available to all believers. In many cases, even if you are geographically isolated, you can locate your right pastor and get under his teaching ministry, even if his church is 2000 miles away. This is phenomenal grace which God has given us. Given the times which we are in, we need to avail ourselves of His grace. However, so that there is no misunderstanding here, personal attendance should be the rule, whenever possible.
The locations below are linked to a map. Exact addresses and phone numbers are generally available at their websites.
This list was compiled from links of various doctrinal churches, as well as suggestions from other believers, so I cannot guarantee that each and every church is doctrinally straight. Much of what these churches offer online will expand beyond what I have indicated as the years go on. |
These churches are arranged in order of the state in which they are located. If the location is a link, that will lead you to directions to that church. Please contact me if you believe that I ought to update any of the information below. |
Buyer Beware: This information is presented as buyer-beware. Just because a pastor uses a familiar vocabulary does not mean that he teaches accurate doctrine nor does it mean that he is fulfilling his commission as a teacher of the Word of God. I recall hearing the teaching of a pastor, via MP3, and I would have sworn that he was teaching almost word-for-word from R. B. Thieme, Jr. (except that he was not as interesting). I have been to one of the churches in Little Rock, Arkansas, and, even though the people and the pastor seemed quite nice and friendly, I did not hear the rebound technique mentioned (restoration to fellowship; restoration to the spiritual life). This is quite important for spiritual growth, and was surprised that it was not mentioned by this pastor. R. B. Thieme, III mentioned one pastor (not by name) who came out of Berachah and is now teaching covenant theology. I have heard from one person that several churches in the east may be cults. An email that I got from one of those pastors read as follows: If you check the exegesis notes of Rev 18 you will see documentation that the United States of America will not recover spiritually, nor will there be a pivot generation. Sad to say, this once great nation has become Satan's premier example of a political entity, just as Catholicism is his premier example of a religion. Both are known as Babylon, and Babylon refuses to be healed. Jer 50 & 51 Our duty is to shine as lights in a dark place, but Babylon will fall due to her excesses and rebellion against God. Although many of us see the United States as a nation greatly blessed by God, we tend not to interpret the book of Revelation or Old Testament prophetical books as speaking of the United States prophetically. So, yes, on the one hand, you ought to be in a doctrinal church; however, on the other hand, be careful that you have not gotten into a cult. I have been told in an email that one of these churches is a cult, where you are separated from family and friends, where the pastor is very charismatic and overbearing. On the other hand, when I investigated this particular allegation, the person making the allegation seemed to ramble on a great deal and he did not convince me. Many have accused Berachah Church of being a cult, which it certainly is not. |
It is not out of the question that someone would adopt the vocabulary developed by R. B. Thieme, Jr. and use this in order to exercise undue influence over his congregation. It is okay, within a church, particularly if you are just beginning there, to question what is being taught and to read material which asserts a different viewpoint. There are several sites which list the characteristics of a cult. Bear in mind that, having 1 or 2 or 3 of these characteristics does not a cult make. Here are some sites where cult characteristics are discussed: http://www.deceptionbytes.com/content/twenty-characteristics-cult http://www.prem-rawat-talk.org/forum/uploads/CultCharacteristics.htm http://www.apologeticsindex.org/268-characteristics-of-cults |
Another accusation which has been made against some of the pastors below is, they simply parrot what R. B. Thieme, Jr. taught. I have heard a lesson from one person (I don’t think that he is listed below) where he sounded as if he was teaching word-for-word what Bob taught. Even though a pastor might have learned most of his doctrine in Berachah Church and uses the vocabulary that R. B. Thieme, Jr. developed, his study has to be based upon his own study of the Bible. If a pastor has done little but parrot Bob’s teaching for a few years, it is questionable whether he is functioning properly as a pastor-teacher. |
Of the churches below, I can personally vouch for pastors Thieme, Griffin, Dean, McLaughlin, Perkins and Ingram. My guess is, Eubanks, Bumgardner and Mattox are also reliable. My guess is, most of the men below are honest teachers of the Word of God; however, I have not had the time to personally examine each and every one of them. Therefore, buyer beware. |
If you are anywhere near one of these churches, that is probably where you need to be, even if it is a small congregation of 10 or 20 people (assuming the pastor is truly doctrinal). Having attended a taper’s church for several years and knowing a variety of people who drifted in and out of this and other such churches, I have found that those who go off on their own, so to speak, tend to become a little (or a lot) more nutty than the rest. Look at going to a doctrinal church as placing you in God’s geographical will at least 3 or 4 hours a week. |
The following churches appear to be inactive, so they have been removed The Desert Valley Church, pastored by Chet Pittman (which may have morphed into Arizona Grace Bible Church?); Mills River Bible Church pastored by Stan Newton. If I cannot find this church through a google search and if it’s link is no longer good, then I removed it. I looked over these churches again in 2015; if the links no longer worked, I sometimes left the church listed, but with that notation. |
Many of these churches can be found here: http://www.bibledoctrinehealthmovement.com/pastor-teachers-and-churches.html where the graphics are much cooler. |
Chafer Theological Seminary also offers a list of churches. This will include churches not listed below (I have not had enough time to investigate them). |
Many like-mind churches listed by Pleroma Bible Church. The churches are listed in alphabetical order by states. Over 30 states are represented below. Churches which I do not believe are still brick and mortar churches are being marked as such with a darkened square at the end. |
My personal testimony with regards to God’s geographical will: I attended a Taper’s Church in California which kept getting smaller and smaller. We started out with about 10–15 regular members, but near the end, there were just 3 or 4 of us; and no one was a regular. At the very same time, my career was going nowhere. I wanted to find a full-time teaching job, but I was having no luck with that in the city where I lived (one of the teacher recommendations which I had on file here was keeping me from getting a full time position—something I found out about 3 years after I began looking for a job in this field). It finally came to a point where I had resigned myself to possibly moving, and I chose 3 possible places to move to. Down at the very bottom of my list—way, way down from the other two—was Houston, TX; and I considered this only because Berachah Church was there and, if I was considering places to move to, I might as well consider that city. |
Long story short—#1 and #2 place on the list just did not work out; and #3, despite being way at the bottom of that list of 3, worked out perfectly. Every door that needed to be opened was opened. This does not mean that, I recognized that I was in the right place immediately. For about 6 years, my plan was to return home, once I had more money and a job there. By about year 7, I realized that I was pretty happy living in the Houston area. In retrospect, some 40 years later, there is not a doubt in my mind that God placed me in the right place at the right time. |
Most of us who know some doctrine recognize what a precarious place the United States is right now. Those who watch politics recognize that, virtually any Democrat who runs for president as an unapologetic socialist will get 40% of the vote, minimum. If that person has half the charisma of our previous president, he could get over 50% of the vote. Right now, we are blessed; right now we are in a good place. But, do you want to be living in California, when God’s will is for you to be in Oklahoma? Do you want to be living in New Jersey, but God’s will is for you to live in North Dakota? If our nation faces catastrophic discipline, you want to be where God wants you to be. |
Listed below are doctrinal churches found in many of the 50 states. Given the internet that we have today, if you want to test drive a church, you can listen right along with the congregation, and determine if this is the right place for you to be. Some of these may have converted over to an online church. I personally believe that is the wrong option, if there is a place to meet and if at least five people will come in person. Meeting in a home is not wrong and it should not be a problem. |
Be careful of one thing—God may want you in a city where the doctrinal church is small. There might be 5 members or 15; and the pastor may have to have a secular job in order to make ends meet. That is okay. Whether you attend a church with 10, 100 or 1000 positive believers, that is never an issue. In fact, if there is a pastor teaching faithfully, day in and day out to a small congregation, that may be exactly the place for you to be. It is easy for a pastor to look out into a congregation of 2000 faces and work happily studying and teaching to move them all forward. It requires much greater dedication to be the pastor of a congregation of 5 or 10, and yet, they keep on keeping on. |
One thing is clear: God has a geographical will for each and every one of us, and that place might not be where you live right now. |

Berachah Church |
Robert Thieme III |
There is a website both for Berachah Church and for Tapes and Publications (R. B. Thieme Jr. Ministries) |
Houston, TX |
Lessons may be ordered as CD’s or DVD’s |
R. B. Thieme, Jr. website is www.rbthime.org |
||||
The Berachah Church website is www.berachah.org |
||||
At the Berachah website, there is also a list of study groups who meet (some listen to Bob’s teachings via MP3 files or video), and some listen to Bobby’s teaching live, or via MP3 and videos. Such groups meet in homes or in rented buildings studying the teaching of R. B. Thieme III or R. B. Thieme Jr. (the telephone hookup groups are live, and the others either listen to sermons on CD’s or DVD’s). Those groups who study under Bobby take place in nearly 50 different locations in about 20 different states. There are nearly 12 groups who still study the Colonel’s teachings in 9 different states and in 2 countries besides the US (England and Germany). It is highly recommended that, if there is no doctrinal church near you, but there is a group, then you should be attending that group (even if it means you are listening to a lesson set for the 2nd or 3rd time). |
||||
Tapes and Publications has finally broken down all of R. B. Thieme, Jr.’s lessons by book, series, lesson numbers; so that you can see what was taught and when during each series. |
||||
On the Syndein website, Bob’s studies are broken down into books and series, lesson numbers, passage and topics covered. Berachah finally did this above. Although this is really a lesson index and not a bibliography, many will find this set of web pages to be helpful. |

Apparently, Pastor Hill has retired and has passed away. It is unclear whether this is now a “taper’s group” or what. There is a DVD group which meets in Tyler, apparently studying under Bobby (see the link under Berachah Church above or call Berachah Church directly). |

Faith Baptist Church |
John D. Reynolds |
Fincastle, Virginia |
I recommend this church with a grain of salt. Reynolds has obviously had some doctrinal training. However, I do not see rebound taught. |

Evergrace Fellowship Church |
Jesse Acosta |
1 book and a number of MP3 files available online |

Word of Grace Bible Church |
Tom Stegall |
Milwaukee, WI |
Some messages can be accessed online: http://www.wogbc.org/video.htm or http://www.wogbc.org/tape_sample.htm Most series will have to be ordered. |
Let me add that these churches represent the deliverance of our nation. Believers who attend these churches and grow spiritually will form the pivot which will deliver our nation. Of all the ministries which I list, these are arguably the most important when it comes protecting and preserving the United States of America. It does not matter if the congregations number 10, 100 or 1000. God is not interested in numbers; He is interested in vindicating the doctrine in your soul. |
Grace notes posts a list of doctrinal questions that believers ought to be able to answer; if you go to a doctrinal church, you ought to be able to answer most of these after 5 or so years: |
I have mixed feelings about online churches. I have known too many people who have made an attempt to grow spiritually apart from gathering together as a local church (Hebrews 10:25), and the results have not always been good (possibly stemming from the lack of academic discipline). On the other hand, there certainly must be people out there who are unable to gather at a local church or do not live anywhere near a local church. Several of the men below study and post lessons regularly, and if you are unable to attend a brick and mortar church, then reading or listening to their lessons as they are posted would be your best approach. |
My website is not a church. I try to provide a repository of doctrines and doctrinal teaching, and hope to produce a doctrinal exegesis of some Old and New Testament books (with God’s grace). I would hope that some pastors and students might use this site as reference material and that some believers might learn some things via this site as well. However, for the typical believer, you ought to be in a brick and mortar doctrinal church each and every time that they open up the doors. I have not double-checked all of these yet. I think an online church is quite helpful to those who physically cannot attend a church; but I strongly believe in having a church to physically go to. |

The Christian Way of Life Church |
Dr. James A. Brettell; Michael Eubanks |
About 50 doctrines online; I did not see any exegeted books of the Bible; this seems to be an online streaming church now |

John Keating |
John Keating is the pastor and he apparently puts a written sermon online each Sunday. Archives of previous lessons go back several lessons, but not to the beginning. |

Doug Laird |
Doug has a couple dozen sermons (youtube linked) and about a half dozen e-books all online. Looks like he has a new website (listed above) |

Jim Oliver Ministries |
Oliver, Jim |
http://home.comcast.net/~jimoliverministries/index.html http://www.slideboom.com/people/kagoshimajim http://www.authorstream.com/tag/Pastor+Jim+Oliver/1 |
The slides are slides timed to Jim Oliver’s teaching on the internet (I am unclear as to whether he pastors a church somewhere). However, the little which I looked at seemed accurate. Essentially you are looking at slides with Bible verses and points written out as he speaks, and some people prefer that visual contact with the material. |
Pacific Rim Bible Studies |
Mike Philips |
From what I can ascertain, Mike is/was pastoring Berean Bible Church in Redding, CA, which may or may not be a going concern. He is also related to some sort of a Bible camp in beautiful Mount Shasta City. There is a plethora of Bible studies and publications available online. He has the vocabulary which many of us know, but I did not hear him teach rebound in the lesson I heard. |
|
Bible Doctrine Church (of Monterey) |
Pastor John |
I have not explored his site extensively, but my impression is, this is a pastor in search of a congregation. |
|
Katy Community Church |
Stan Simonton |
Katy, TX; Stan’s email is at this website and his church is now online; there are many online resources and his ministry is ongoing. |
|
Grace Bible Church of Pullman, WA |
Ron McMurray |
McMurray has done work in Galatians, Colossians, Thessalonians, and 1Timothy; as well as the Psalms and other things. Well organized site. Pullman, WA |
|
Biblical Exegesis |
Wayne...? |
Wayne has translated and exegeted most of the epistles, all available as PDF downloads. There is no doctrinal statement that I could find, although he seems to adhere to 5 point Calvinism? He does acknowledge a great indebtedness to R. B. Thieme, Jr. Not to be confused with versebyverse.org |
|
I have no idea whether these pastors are interested in a brick and mortar church ministry or not. I have contacted some of them to find out. |

Exegesis
What I have done on my own webpage is extremely specialized, and not designed for the average Christian to read, although I would suppose that, now and again, in order to understand this or that passage, the average Christian might come to this site.
What most believers need is a pastor teacher to place themselves under. So there is no misunderstanding, despite the fact that I have put together some rather extensive exegetical studies, I also am under the authority of a pastor-teacher.
What I have arranged below are links to teachings by a variety of doctrinal teachings of various books of the Bible. Most of these will be oral teachings and most will be available for direct download without charge. As time goes on, many of these pastors will teach additional books, which I may not have included below.

Sonic Light Bible study: http://www.soniclight.com/study_cd/audio_bible_study_lessons.htm It appears as though we have an audio study of every book of the Bible. The teacher tends to cover one chapter per lesson. I have not heard any of these yet. |
|||||
There is a guy, Les Feldick, whom I do not know from Adam, but who have verbally exegeted most of the books of the Bible at: http://www.lesfeldick.org/ (There is also a transcript of these lessons available online). His doctrinal statement is short, but accurate. What is problematic, is, he understands 1John 1:9 to require us to repent of our sins. For this reason, I do not recommend his site. |
|||||
It is important to be discerning when it comes to studying under this or that pastor. If a pastor has turned to Covenant Theology or they have reject salvation by grace or restoration to fellowship by grace, then these significant inaccuracies are going to bleed into their studies. If you aware of any of these pastors going down the wrong road, please contact me and give me some specifics. |

Titus put together a list sometime ago of books which have been exegeted on the internet; I have decided to continue that tradition. This is a list of written exegesis.
Exegeted Books of the Bible online
Some of what is found below is incomplete. My notes from the Bible classes of R. B. Thieme, Jr. and Bobby Thieme have been removed by request. Grace notes has been reorganized, so the links there may not be correct. There are also additional books on Grace Notes as well (Grace Notes), some of which are put together by other pastors listed below. Access to all the books he has done is found here. Todd Kennedy of Spokane, Washington has covered a number of books here, which I will try to add book by book at a future date. |
There are a number of links available on Buddy Dano’s old site; some or much of the work is not his and cannot be accessed easily from his home page. The parent directory is this. Some of the work is Dr. Robert Dean, Jr.’s. Perhaps this was just a repository for Dano’s references. |
In many cases, the teachers below also have audio lessons on these books. Many of these notes really need to have the links updated. Some have been moved and others are no longer available. |

See Benjamin W. Brodie’s website for some well translated books (mostly New Testament). He has both a literal translation and an expanded translation (where additional words in brackets are added). |
||||
Dr. Henry Ironside has exegeted many books of the Bible, and this work can be found here: http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/byauthor/44/henry_allen_ironside (Make certain that you click on “Show/Hide more” under Series). This site has a huge number of authors posted online: http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/authors (I assume of varying quality). Dr. Constable Study Notes http://www.soniclight.com/constable/notes.htm This appears to be a verse by verse study of every book in the Bible. Although Constable seems to have salvation and rebound straight, I ran into some minor interpretation problems with the first passage I examined (1Chron. 16). |
||||
My primary concern with Wayne Binnicker (Benjamin Brodie?) is, he says he is a 5-point Calvinist. One should bear that in mind when examining his notes. |

The books list for Syndein is here: http://syndein.com/books.htm Robby Dean’s notes: http://phrasearch.com/Trans/DBM/Index.html |

Some of the grace notes are a course and they have to be signed up for (I assume this is free). |

Robert Sonnet has a website of exegesis and doctrines. The doctrines are pretty good. The exegesis covers about a half dozen New Testament books, and mostly looks at them word-by-word without then explaining the information found there. http://www.swordofthespiritbibleministries.com |

In case you want information on a particular topic, this are some links to get you there; these should all be in written form. Revised and updated September 6, 2020.
Adema: Basic Bible Study Series online; 50 Things Received at Salvation; a half dozen online studies (marriage, family, children, etc.). I found this updated resource more difficult to navigate.
Buddy Dano’s website has material which he developed; but there is a treasure trove of exegesis and doctrines here: http://www.divineviewpoint.com/sane/dbm/setup/doctrines At least one of these studies is by Dr. Robert Dean, Jr. (which study I could not find elsewhere).
Charlie Clough’s Notes: Charlie Clough Notes (his audio lessons include notes)
End times and prophecy: http://bibleprophecyfortoday.wordpress.com/ There are doctrines here which are almost word-for-word from R. B. Thieme Jr. as well as several articles by reputable theologians like H. A. Ironside. It is possible this is the work of Thomas Ice, which is the one name that I do not recognize. On the negative side, one of his links is a church which, in its basics doctrinal worksheets does not speak of confession of sin for spirituality (rebound) and there are several lessons on Marks of a True Believer, which smacks of the infusion of grace as opposed to the imputation of grace (which is the primary difference between Protestant and Catholic theology).
Genealogies: Adam to Israel; Abraham to David; David to Jesus (through Solomon; the line of Joseph); David to Jesus (through Nathan; the line of Mary).
Grace Notes: http://www.gracenotes.info/topics There is a list of about 250 doctrines at this site.
Griffin: On line books. His full set of studies are also quite easy to access; click on all series.
Ichthys Bible Study: http://www.ichthys.com/ Although I was first concerned about the organization, he lists an index of topics and where they might be found. https://www.ichthys.com/subject-index.htm I am fairly certain that all of the material was put together by Dr. Robert D. Luginbill, who, like most of us, apparently learned a great deal from R. B. Thieme Jr.
Institute for Creation Research: Topics pertaining to Evolution versus Creationism.
James Modlish Bible study page, which has no links to Berachah Church, but uses a lot of the same language. Study materials.
Todd Kennedy has an ever-growing list of doctrines that he has taught (well over 100). His doctrines tend to be concise, well-organized, and with Scriptural references.
Kukis: Complete Doctrines; a complete list of doctrines as well as discussions of specific topics (this latter list is rather extensive, and is not hyperlinked for the most part; you would first use your browser search function to find a doctrine, which will tell you which book and chapter the doctrine is found in. You can then go to that book for further information on that topic). PDF version. Charts.
J. R. Cherreguine Bible Doctrine Ministries: http://dikaosune.com/Home.php Under his doctrinal index, he lists hundreds of doctrines. Many of these doctrines are set up in chart form. My only problem with this site is, his doctrines are not all set up in alphabetical order. Apart from this, JRC probably lists more doctrines than I have seen anywhere else (other than on my own site). He even touches on unusual topics, e.g., feng shui and karma. He has an extensive list of various cults and cult teachers, including a watch list for non-doctrinal teachers with sort of a rating system. My only problem with this site is, it could be organized better. Apart from that, there is a lot of material here. I must admit to having some reservations, however, when I found Billy and Franklin Graham’s names on his list of Cum Laude of Apostasy, where he uses the phrase easy believism in conjunction to Billy Graham. He also has a list of backslidden and apostate believers, including several prominent politicians. I’m not sure that these things have any place at a doctrinal website, and it makes me a little concerned about the other material which he has “authored.”
Rev. Robert C. Lewis’s Bible Quick notes (about 50 doctrines + 100+ presentations and handouts and another 100 extended studies). QuickNotes are ideal for use in personal Bible study, Sunday school lessons, home Bible studies, and church worship services. I use them in my teaching ministry and I hope they will be of help to you.

https://mustseethisone.com/Dictionary-Contents.html (these will open in WordPad, but can be opened in Word or WordPerfect as well; I did not see any Greek or Hebrew characters, as the books were originally printed; which, for most people, is not a loss. All of these words are transliterated into English.)
Wholesome Words—Christian Resources & Links has about 40 traditional Christian doctrines linked here, with authors e.g. C. I. Scofield and L. S. Chafer. http://www.wholesomewords.org/doctrine.html Some are good and some are just okay.

I do not know exactly why I have two lists of doctrines. |
If you are in search of a particular doctrine, chances are, you will find it in the first 4 links below: |
Bible Doctrine Resource lists approximately 500 or more doctrines from their Bible class notes under R. B. Thieme, Jr. and others. Locating the doctrines is quite easy, as they are listed in a long column on the side. This is probably the most complete set of doctrines available. The only drawback is, the site does not give authorship credit. Sometimes this can be determined by taking a 4 or 5 word phrase and searching for that exact same phrase in google. This excellent resource no longer exists. Although it was a clearing house for a listing of doctrines, the people who put together these doctrines were never given credit for their work. |
Grace notes. About 400 doctrines and sets of notes (these appear to be notes based partially or fully upon Bob Thieme’s teaching). This is probably the most complete set of doctrines available. |
Several hundred doctrines are found here, at the Online International School of Practical ministries (the ones I checked opened up in Word or WP): |
Links to 300+ doctrines (organized alphabetically and also by which book they pertain to): |
Grace Bible Church of Baytown (about 130+ doctrines; there are a lot, and I have no idea why they don’t put their index on a single page): |
Todd Kennedy of the Spokane, Washington Bible Church (about 100+ doctrines). |
Maranatha Church (about 100 doctrines): http://www.versebyverse.org/ (click on Printed Doctrines) |
http://gracedoctrine.org/doctrines/ Grace Fellowship Church with Pastor/Teacher James H. Rickard Over 100 doctrines listed. |
Pastor Michael Eubanks of He Ekklesia (nearly 100 doctrines, accurate, some short on Scripture) |
Jim Abrahamson ThM; Chapel Hill, NC (about 300 doctrines) http://www.apttoteach.org/attjom/index.php More specifically, his theology index. |
About 40 doctrines; R. B. Thieme, Jr. notes: |
About 50 doctrines from the Portland Bible Church:
|
Excellent Doctrinal Dictionary by Todd Kennedy of the Spokane Bible Church (which is about 75–80 short doctrines). http://www.spokanebiblechurch.com/study/Bible%20Doctrines/dictionary-bible-doctrine.htm |
Doctrine Alive Online by Tom Elseroad. Site includes perhaps 100 doctrines/charts and a thorough theological dictionary. Includes a lot of definitions culled from McLaughlin and Kennedy. |
A list of about 50 doctrines; although I have not perused these carefully yet, they appear to be notes, in part, from Colonel Thieme’s teachings, and in part, from the experiences and studies of this particular person. I recently examined the Angelic Conflict in these doctrines, and it was quite good, and it was filled with examples of the good that Satan does. |

A list of almost every discussion of every term or concept found in my online writings (there will be thousands of entries here): |
A list of the doctrines which I have formally examined (there are about 250). |
Online Theological Dictionaries |
If you simply want to know the meaning of a specific term, you will find it in the links below: |
Doctrinal Terms and Concepts (HTML) (PDF) (WPD). This is a glossary of Biblical terms. This list goes beyond the excellent vocabulary developed by R. B. Thieme, Jr. and includes historical terms, linguistic terms, and some new terms. It also contains extensive links to more thorough examinations of the doctrinal terms defined. 34 pages as of 2015. |
Doctrinal dictionary from Pastor John: http://www.bibledoctrinechurchmonterey.com/explanation-of-terms-used.html This looks extensive and includes common abbreviations (mostly used by those influenced by R. B. Thieme, Jr.’s ministry). |
One of the best lists can be found at Griffin’s Grace Bible Church (there are easily 100 or more visuals here): |
Bible Doctrine Teaching Terms (from Robert McLaughlin); this is an excellent place to get a short definition for the technical terms and phrases, many of which were developed at Dallas Theological Seminary by L. S. Chafer as well as terms and phrases developed by R. B. Thieme Jr. |
Outstanding list of theological terms (this is the Chafer Christian Seminary of Theology): |
The same site where terms are explored in more depth: |
A good set of theological terms with basic definitions: |
The “mother” site is difficult to navigate from, but here is a large list of doctrines grouped by large topic groups (e.g., there are 5 separate topics under Death which are all together on one page): |
Rick Hughes’ basic theological dictionary (10 pages): |
Glossary of terms from the Grace Bible Church (this appears to be the most ambitious): |
Online Theological dictionaries/encyclopedia: http://bible.tmtm.com/wiki/Main_Page |
This is an excellent tool to search through many of 5 famous Bible dictionaries (like Smith’s, ISBE, etc): |
Bible Topics has hundreds of subjects and where these topics are covered in Scripture. Commentary is helpful but minimum. |
You may also download e-sword and these same dictionaries and search them from your own computer: http://e-sword.net/downloads.html (I highly recommend this free computer Bible/Bible resource tool) |
Bobby Thieme has mentioned publishing a dictionary of sorts online, but that has not come to pass yet (however, I can confirm that is a real work in progress). |
Online Christian Blogs |
I have some misgivings about Christian blogs; and do not expect for this one to be very extensive: |
THE WORD on The Word of Faith (a GroupBlog) http://thewordonthewordoffaithinfoblog.com/ My biggest problem with this site is the attacks on specific pastors. I believe that should be removed entirely. If Pastor X teaches a doctrine which is anti-Biblical, post that doctrine, a summary of that doctrine, and then evaluate that doctrine. R. B. Thieme, Jr. provided us with a good example of this. The charismatic movement is spiritually corrupt. I cannot recall Bob going after specific pastors in that movement. He dealt with the gift of tongues, what it was, what it wasn’t, and how it is not a gift for today. |

http://www.anchoryourlife.com/bible/study_bible.htm |
10 translations are compared, with reading level (which seemed surprisingly low to me for some of them) and comments. Translations are broken down into 3 types: literal, dynamic equivalent and paraphrased (free translation). |
|
9 Bibles are compared by particular verses, and the actual words that they use are graded. |
|
|
6 translations are compared, but with respect to 18 important doctrines and translations. |

Comparing translations from the standpoint of the manuscripts used. |
|
|
39 different English translations of the Bible compared. This author has a scoring system, which is quite interesting, and it compares these translations based upon 3 passages and how they scored on the passages. Despite the small sampling of verses, this is one of the most interesting comparisons. The links throughout are important. |

e-sword |
If you supplement your Bible study with computer tools, this is the best free tool out there which I have seen.

This is a very readable recording/blending of the events of history around the time of our Lord. There are a lot of names and places, so one at times is confused by all of them; and I have not verified the accuracy of this site; but it seems to be good for integrating what we find in the Bible with extra-Biblical history. The author of this site attempts to go month-by-month whenever possible. |

Delphi Forums Bible doctrine study group |
This is an excellent group, especially good for those who are spread out and not near a doctrinal church. |
|
Bene Diction blogs on |
This is pretty insane. A nutcase attends a church listed in here for 13 years, kills 3 women in an aerobics class, and that church and R. B. Thieme, Jr. are all blamed, even though the most precursory reading of this guy’s crime indicates that he mentally unbalanced from the get go. It is a fascinating read and discussion. |

Discussions with people who are rational and with those who are teetering off the edge. I believe I first got drawn into a discussion here with someone who proposed that Jesus was teaching socialism (a liberation theology adherent). |
Cult Education Forum |
This is a fascinating forum, discussing R. B. Thieme Jr. and why his church is a cult. There were even questions as to, what happens to you when you leave this church? There seems to be one logical and intelligent voice in all of this, at the very beginning (Ephesians 1:3). SisterSoap goes on and on and on and on. I have included this forum more as a matter of interest rather than as a recommended forum. |

American Freedom Assemblies |
“American Freedom Assembly is a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting the principles of true freedom through the assembly format. We help young people understand that the solution must come from within. Only through their good decisions on a day by day basis will they be able to take control of their lives.” Gary Horton spoke at our school on 3 occasions, each of them quite memorable. One time, he gave the gospel—it was clear and unmistakable—but without mentioning the name of Jesus Christ. |

Grace Evangelical Society |
“It has been amazing to watch what God has allowed us to do for these last 19 years. The years have been filled with great ministry opportunities indeed. With the distribution of over 100,000 You Can Be Sure! booklets, countless books and audio tapes, and tens of thousands of hits on our website each year, many have come to faith in Christ, gained assurance of their eternal life, and now walk in the knowledge of the grace of God. For this great opportunity to impact the world for Christ, we thank God first, but also all those that have partnered with us.” |

“Our mission is to train missionaries and to support mission activity around the world. We believe that there is a need in the United States for an independent organization that can come along the side of the local church to provide training and support for mission the field.” |

Bible Doctrine Page |
Quite frankly, this is a disorganized blog which at first appears to deal primarily with salvation. However, there is a lot of material here (over 100 doctrines) which appears to be accurate. Most of the doctrines are accessible on the right hand side of each page. It is unclear whether these are notes which this person takes or whether he has done these studies himself (he does use a Thieme vocabulary and presents salvation and rebound correctly). There is a bit of Campus Crusade thrown in here as well. I am pretty certain that this is the work of one guy. |

Bible Food |
This site is put together by Bob Jones, retired assistant pastor of Northside Bible Church, Jacksonville Florida. However, I cannot fine this church or its website. Although he is clearly influenced by R. B. Thieme Jr., I do not find any links to any related ministry. He lists over 50 doctrines and the couple I glanced at seemed to be quite accurate. |
|
Bible News |
Larry Wood’s website. I recommend this with a grain of salt. The homepage has the United States broken up into various tribes of Israel (the same is true of Europe and other continents). I do not quite get that. He also has something about the four horses of the apocalypse running parallel in current world history. His presentation of the gospel and of rebound are accurate; but some of the website is just flat-out weird. |

“The purpose of these sites for a reader, is abnormal. The sites are to encourage thinking OUT Doctrine, not teach or parrot it. Thinking out, not selling someone that 'my' pastor or 'my' idea of Bible is right; hence the sites are nonsectarian in orientation. Therefore, the sites 'do' a lot of thinking out (which I personally needed anyway). The reader is presumed to already know enough MD to play with the material: like it, lump it, rage at it, smile at it, whatever, before the Lord. [I am having the same reaction to this as you are—huh?—but there are some good things to be found at this website.” |

Charlie Clough’s Bible Framework Course |
From the site: Rather than reading the Bible through the eyes of modern secularism this provocative six-part course teaches you to read the Bible through its own eyes-as a record of God's dealing with the human race. When you read it at this level, you will discover reasons to worship God in areas of life you probably never before associated with "religion." All lessons can be downloaded or listened to online; and course notes in pdf format can be downloaded from this site. |
|
Dictionary of Doctrine |
The doctrines came directly from Thieme notes (I could not find this stated anywhere). Some of the lessons are computer-read lessons (word for word from the notes; how the computer pronounces the word happiness is somewhat humorous). There are some normal sermons, but this site is not clearly associated with a church, and I am uncertain about some of them. |

1. Over the last ten years I have slowly but surely found resources on the internet that were not easy to find so I have decided to make some of them available on this blog through links and posts. I would have loved to have found a site like this when I started searching the internet. 2. There are doctrines that I grew up with (I am a what many would call a classic dispensationalist) that are pertinent to things going on in the United States and the world today but very few in mainstream Christianity are discussing them from a perspective that I recognize as being solidly grounded in scripture. This should be a great forum to post these doctrines and give them a bit more visibility. 3. Then, building on item 2, occasionally make applications of these doctrines to current events. |

Russ Pickett |

Russ has obviously received a great deal of teaching from Berachah Church, although I do not see an acknowledgment of this (maybe I missed it?). He has about 300 doctrines and articles, but appears to be confused on dispensations (he believes that we are in the end times). There is also some great stuff on American and Delaware history. |

Special Forces Newsletters |
Read “A Message from Dave” or “Dave’s Message.” There is a link on this page for the current newsletter. Dave is presenting a doctrinal viewpoint in this publication. |
|
Special Moments with God |
“Bible lessons geared toward younger children. The purpose of this website is to teach children basic information about God's word. My goal is to make learning about the Lord Jesus Christ and God's ways fun and enjoyable by using colorful visual aides and poetry.” |
|
Sword of the Spirit Ministries |
Robt. Sonnet does a fairly complete breakdown of certain chapters of the New Testament into their Greek components; he even diagrams the sentences. He provides about 300 papers and doctrines online, including some which are intriguing, e.g., Anti-Semitism, Daniel’s 70th Week, Jerusalem, etc. . |
|
Syndein (Bible notes and translation) |
These are mostly notes from R. B. Thieme’s teaching over the years, including an expanded translation of most books of the Bible. Ken, the guy who took these notes, also made an attempt to provide a translation for the books that Bob did not exegete. Ken is his real name (I don’t know his last name) and his pen name Joshua Sozo; aka Mr. Syndein |
|
Tekton (an apologetics and education website) |
There are a huge set of links to various articles about apologetics, the Bible, and a variety of topics. Apparently, this is J. P. Holding’s website. |
|
Television stations |
These are live streaming stations with quite a variety, including Arabic Language Bible Teaching TV, Creation Science TV, etc. |
|
Theopedia |
This is the theological equivalent of the wikipedia (where they closely monitor the religious topics and limit the number of external links) |

Wealth of Doctrine |
This gives you the work of many doctrinal ministries available through a browser right on your own hard drive. |
|
WebBible Encyclopedia |
I came across the dictionary looking for material on angels. I can vouch for that article at least; and would suppose that other topics are handled well. |
|
With Christ |
The heart of our modest ministry is personal email correspondence with Christians around the world who are hungry to grow in their spiritual life and service. |
If you want some quick information on this or that person, this or that city, I must admit to being surprised at how helpful this site can be (it will give the information which can be found in several places on the internet). |
