Re: [asa] ID, TE, and the culture war--who is the audience?

Chris -- to be fair, though, the section you quote is in "explanatory notes
and teaching points," along with a number of other particular distinctives,
such as pre-trib dispensational premillenialism, which aren't in the body of
the doctrinal statement. It's not always clear how closely an institution
continues to hew to such supplemental statements over time. But, those
supplementary statements do help place the institution within the spectrum
and identify its historic priorities.
