When a doctrine or teaching is presented to me, I may examine it and mull it over. I may compare it to Scripture and seek to understand whether it is consistent with what God has revealed about Himself. But once I accept that doctrine I am responsible for it. If the doctrine is false and I choose to believe it, I can expect God to hold me accountable for believing something that is false.

Tim Challies
Tim Challies (* 1976) ist ein kanadischer Autor, Blogger und ehemaliger Pastor aus Toronto, der dem reformiert-baptistischen Spektrum angehört. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein reichweitenstarkes Weblog sowie Schriften zu geistlichem Urteilsvermögen, christlicher Medienethik und persönlicher Trauerbewältigung. Für heutige Bibelleser vermittelt er klassische reformierte Theologie für den Alltag, stößt jedoch mit seinen strikt komplementaristischen Positionen und einzelnen publizistischen Stellungnahmen zu innerkirchlichen Konflikten auch auf Kritik.
