	Adventist History
		Soon after the 1919 Bible Conference he was attacked by a group of students for being too liberal.
		This upcoming conference at Oakwood, to be held from April 19-22, appears like it will be a good one.
		The goal for this conference, from my perspective, is to respectfully reflect (from a variety of viewpoints) upon the history and theology of this important book (and to carefully look at its impact and give some thought toward the future).

	Modern Dispensationalism, A Biblical Analysis, Part 3
		The 1878 Niagara Creed, therefore clearly stated the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Bible, the total depravity of man, the necessity of the new birth, substitutionary atonement, and the premillennial return of Christ among its fourteen points.
		So, though dispensationalism was widely embraced among the leaders of the Niagara conference, the conference leaders taught their millenarian views as a part of a coherent theology rather than as a single-issue movement.
		One such conference held at the Philadelphia Academy of Music May 28-30, 1918 was largely stimulated by the news of the British capture of Jerusalem by General Allenby, and to a great extent was a celebration of what was viewed as a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

		The Scofield Reference Bible (which has helped millions of people in their personal Bible study) made pretribulational teaching a major facet of its 1917 revised edition.
		It was the Niagara Bible Conference, however, which initially spearheaded the growth of pretribulational rapturism and the concept of an any-moment Rapture in America.
		The Bible teaches that he does not -- He raptures her before His wrath against the wicked commences.

	(Christian) Fundamentalism
		With some differences among themselves, fundamentalists insist on belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth and divinity of Jesus Christ, the vicarious and atoning character of his death, his bodily resurrection, and his second coming as the irreducible minimum of authentic Christianity.
		This minimum was reflected in such early declarations as the 14 point creed of the Niagara Bible Conference of 1878 and the 5 point statement of the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1910.
		On a parallel track, and in the tradition of Bible prophecy conferences since 1878, premillenarian Baptists and independents founded the World's Christian Fundamentals Association in 1919, with William B Riley as the prime mover.

		Late that year, Lyell visited the area and did his research to determine the approximate age of the gorge that was excavated by the Niagara River.
		However, the damage was done, and increasingly people began to doubt the Bible, assuming its chronology was not reliable in the light of what Lyell had claimed.
		And Lyell saw the Bible as the major obstacle to the general acceptance of his geological theories.

	Great awakenings - Theopedia
		People began to study the Bible at home, which effectively decentralized the means of informing the public on religious manners and was akin to the individualistic trends present in Europe during the Protestant Reformation.
		Their farmer-preachers were people who received "the call" from God, studied the Bible and founded a church, which then ordained them.
		The Third Great Awakening spawned the Niagara Bible Conference, the rise of U.S. Fundamentalism, and the independant Bible institute and Bible college movement, all generally in reaction to liberalism in the mainline denominations.

		Known as the “Niagara Creed” (because it was associated with the Niagara Bible Conference of 1883–1897), these principles laid the foundation for a movement that would later be called fundamentalism.
		On the broader front, the dispensational organizers of the Niagara Bible Conference were joined by non-dispensationalists like B.B. Warfield and J. Gresham Machen in their fight against modernism.
		I remember reading (I think it was in “the battle for the Bible”) that it seems that there is a major theological debate/revival every 3-4 generations (or however long it takes for ideas to travel, be accpeted, be refuted, die and then be reborn in a new and rhetorically different form).

	Dispensationalism Explained #2
		If a typical modern man were to pick up the Bible and to begin reading from the beginning, it would most likely seem to him that what he held in his hands was nothing but a collection of contrasting viewpoints, a hodgepodge of conflicting visions of righteousness, but certainly not anything approaching a unity.
		It was at the Niagara Bible Conference that Cyrus I. Scofield, an attorney, first heard the dispensational system expounded.
		The dispensationalist, often maligned by his covenant brethren with accusations of antinomianism, recognizes Paul as the spokesperson for the requirements of the Age of Grace and takes his explanations of the Law to be normative for the Christian.

	The Historical Development of Dispensational Theology In Fundamentalism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the main purpose of these conferences was to oppose modernism (liberalism) and postmillennialism, not to promote dispensationalism, dispensational theology became extremely popular and eventually became a major thrust of the conferences.
		Of the six resolutions passed at the first American Bible and Prophetic Conference, resolution number four reveals how the fundamentalists readily believed in the apostate nature of Christendom and used this decline of the professed church as an incentive for further evangelism until the return of the Lord.
		As mentioned previously, the Niagara Conferences also stressed the fearful condition of an end time apostasy sweeping the churches in the last days prior to the Lord's return.

	Fundamentalism
		The term "fundamentalism" came into existence at the Niagara Falls Bible Conference which was convened in an effort to define those things that were fundamental to belief.
		Instead, the debate came to be focused on whether the Bible was literally true, the position that William Jennings Bryan championed.
		As a result of Bryan's decision to debate the Bible instead of the public's right to decide curriculum, popular interest was as great in that day as it has been in the recent trial in Los Angeles.

	A Christian Fundamentalist
		In 1910, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church distilled the earlier work of the Niagara Bible Conference and others into the “five fundamentals.” These five fundamentals of Christianity formed the original basis for American Christian Fundamentalism.
		The Church believes that the Bible is the work of men “illumined by the Holy Spirit”; and that it bears “authentic testimony to God’s self-disclosure” to man (¶ 104).
		The Book of Discipline never states outright that the Bible is inerrant, or the direct “word of God” (although it does use that phrase).

	Progressive Dispensationalism Some Observations
		In the days of the early Bible conferences, Bible believing men of different persuasions met together in opposition to religious modernism (liberalism) and in defense of the great fundamentals of the faith and with a renewed interest in prophecy in general and the imminent return of Christ in particular.
		Today Progressive Dispensationalists are meeting with and dialoguing with men of different theological persuasions because of a common opposition to certain traditional teachings of Bible believing dispensationalists and because of some commonly shared, non-dispensational views on the nature of the church and the nature of the kingdom.
		It would be like someone arguing against Bible creationism and totally ignoring the writings of Henry Morris and John Whitcomb, two widely recognized pioneers in the field.

		During these visits he had considerable influence upon several men, consummating in the Bible Conference movement at the close of the century.
		Growing in popularity and in exclusivity, it burst forth from the womb of Darby’s thought and influence and into the world in the year 1909, when C. Scofield published his first study Bible; it was in that study Bible that dispensationalism was born.
		It was codified in the 1909 and 1917 editions of the Scofield Reference Bible and was further affirmed by the labors of Lewis Sperry Chafer.

		They also believe in "six-day" Creationism, the doctrine that the universe was created only a few thousand years ago, rather than the billions claimed by modern science, and that God created man and woman and all the species outright, rather than by a process of evolution.
		Christians who clung to the old belief that every word of the Bible was literally true -- called biblical inerrancy, claim only the belief, they do not follow or live by the rules or teachings of Jesus.
		They tended to rely on the fallacy of the Bible being the only source of inspiration and preached their own opinions.
