At about 10:45 he is talking about Pentecost,

“The Apostles were an unrepeatable group of individuals who experienced an unrepeatable encounter with the living God in Christ and therefore… when we think in terms of Apostolic succession we do not think in terms of some Apostolic succession that goes in a line through bishops and through Popes but we think of an Apostolic succession which is the succession directly related to that Apostolic teaching which is given us in the Bible and the true Apostolic sussession is the succession of those churches and individuals and pastors and teachers and so on throughout all generations… who remain true to the teachings of the Apostles.”

yeh, that’s one reason I linked it…I agree with him on that

I have listened to him on several occasions and enjoyed each one.

I like Alistair Begg.  We must remember that he is a Scottsman and given to Calvinism, so of course that is his view of the apostolic succession.  I remember my undergrad. church history prof. challenging us to show from scripture where THE model for church govenment could be found.  It’s not there.  So, the Calvinist view of apostolic succession is also extra-canonical, and based on the interpretation of a particular man.

Indeed MK! I agree also!

Alistair is one of my favorite ‘radio preachers’. Interestingly enough, I caught this particular sermon on my way to work recently. Thanks for posting.

I used to listen to Alistair Begg.  At the end of his radio program, the announcer would come on and say, “you’ve been listening to Alistair Begg . . . “

I always wanted to add, “tune in tomorrow to hear him plead”

He is a gifted preacher.

“I always wanted to add, ‘tune in tomorrow to hear him plead.’”  Har-dee-har-har, DaveW!   

(I’m guessing the surname “Begg” came from the Gaelic word “beag,” meaning little.)
