About

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who accord­ing to His great mercy has caused us to…obtain an inher­i­tance which is imper­ish­able and unde­filed and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you” — The Apos­tle Peter

MeMy name is Chris Poteet, and I am cur­rently work­ing as an enter­prise IT con­sul­tant. How­ever, my inter­ests ulti­mately lie else­where. I envi­sion help­ing other Chris­tians in their pur­suit of doc­trine and apolo­get­ics, but my main goal to cover all goals is to get one unreached peo­ple group to be reached.

I have spent an inor­di­nate amount of time typ­ing my tes­ti­mony if you are inter­ested. That will give more of a back­ground as to where I’ve come from, where I’m at, and where I’m going. As far as per­sonal inter­ests, I’m one of the few the­olo­gians who loves to do stu­pid stuff like climb rocks, scuba dive, sky dive, and the like. I truly enjoy my friend­ships, and I take much joy in being very social (I won­der if Jonathan Edwards was a social guy?).

Where Am I Going?

I min­is­tered in Bridges Inter­na­tional which is an exten­sion of Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ for my col­le­giate min­istry. This gave me a heart and pas­sion for inter­na­tional stu­dents and peo­ple in gen­eral (aided by my sum­mer on project with The Trav­el­ing Team). I am now focused on mobi­liz­ing myself and oth­ers to reach the unreached peo­ples of the world. I would like to attend sem­i­nary at some point to study missiology.

The­o­log­i­cal Convictions

  1. Reformed. I hold fast to the truth that the nat­ural man is inca­pable of com­ing to Christ. There­fore, God’s divine decree of elec­tion is what avails the oppor­tu­nity for sal­va­tion, and Christ specif­i­cally died for those given to Him by the Father. This oper­at­ing grace is irre­sistible, and once God has regen­er­ated the believer he will never be lost.
  2. Bap­tist. The bap­tism of only the pro­fess­ing believer, and the inde­pen­dence of the local con­gre­ga­tion. Also included in this is the reg­u­la­tive prin­ci­ple and plu­ral­ity of elder model.
  3. Mis­sional. I strive to teach soundly the call of Christ to reach all of the nations (peo­ple groups) while prac­tic­ing evan­ge­lism any­where I might be.
  4. Covenant The­olo­gian. God’s main pur­pose in his­tory is His Son and by exten­sion His elect.
  5. Amil­len­nial. The mil­len­nium of Rev 20 is “real­ized” and to be inter­preted through inau­gu­rated eschatology.
