This class of 13 students was the resultof Dr. Chafer’s burden and vision to found aseminary that would emphasize expositorypreaching and teaching of the Scriptures.In 1935 the Seminary pioneered the four-yearMaster of Theology (Th.M.) degree, which is ayear longer than the three-year Master ofDivinity (M.Div.) degree offered at most otherseminaries. The Th.M. gives all the essentialtheological courses offered in a three-yearcurriculum with additional emphasis insystematic theology, Hebrew and Old Testamentexegesis, Greek and New Testament exegesis,and Bible exposition.In 1974 the Seminary instituted the two-yearMaster of Arts (Biblical Studies) [M.A.(BS)]program for students whose ministries wouldnot require the in-depth language trainingof the Th.M. program. The Doctor of Ministry(D.Min.) degree began in 1980 to providefurther pastoral training for Seminarygraduates to meet the changing demandsof ministry. In 1982 the Seminary began theM.A. in Christian Education (M.A./CE) degreeprogram so that students could receivespecialized training for Christian ministries.In 1987 the M.A. in Cross-cultural Ministries(M.A./CM) program was inaugurated to givespecialized training for intercultural ministry.In 1993 the Seminary launched a three-yearM.A. in Biblical Counseling (M.A./BC) degreeprogram and a two-year M.A. in BiblicalExegesis and Linguistics (M.A./BEL) degreeprogram. The latter program is offered jointlywith the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguisticslocated in south Dallas. In 2005 the Seminarylaunched the M.A. in Media and Communication(M.A./MC) degree program for those interestedin employing the media arts in ministry (namechanged to Master of Arts in Media Arts andWorship in 2012). In 2011 the Seminary beganoffering the Master of Arts in Christian Leadership(M.A./CL) degree program.Outstanding leadership and scholarly expertisehave characterized the Seminary’s presidents:Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, 1924–1952Dr. John F. Walvoord, 1952–1986Dr. Donald K. Campbell, 1986–1994Dr. Charles R. Swindoll, 1994–2001Dr. Mark L. Bailey, 2001–presentThroughout the Seminary’s history it hassteadfastly maintained its allegiance to biblicaltruth.

About Dallas theological seminaryDALLAS DISTINCTIvesThe Seminary’s commitment to excellence inpreparing communicators of the Bible has set itin a place of distinction. What is it that makesDTS different from many other seminaries?A Consistent Theological ApproachDTS stands unequivocally committed to God’sinerrant Scriptures. This commitment leadsto a system of doctrine in which the greatfundamentals of the Christian faith areaffirmed and expounded. The doctrines ofevangelical orthodoxy are taught in theframework of premillennial, dispensationaltheology, derived from a consistent grammaticalhistoricalinterpretation of the Bible.A Bible-centered CurriculumThe study of the entire Bible is a centralcharacteristic of the Dallas curriculum.Every student in a master’s-level program(except Master of Arts in Biblical Exegesisand Linguistics) studies the 66 books of theBible in expositional and exegetical courses.Two-and-a-half years of Greek and two yearsof Hebrew enable Th.M. students to developexegetical skills basic to their own inductiveexamination of the written Word.A DTS education, however, extends beyond theacademic pursuit of biblical and theologicaldisciplines to the art of communicating biblicaltruth effectively. Courses in ministry andcommunication seek to cultivate in studentsa sensitivity to spiritual needs, zeal for worldmissions, fervor in evangelism, and Spirit-filledenthusiasm for effectively communicatingthe Word of God.A World-class FacultyResident and adjunct faculty collectivelyhold more than 230 graduate degrees fromuniversities and seminaries around the world.Ninety-two percent of the resident facultyhave at least one doctorate. Altogether,resident and retired faculty have authoredmore than 450 publications.Not only are DTS faculty known for theircompetence as biblical scholars, teachers, andcommunicators, but they are also Spirit-ledpeople of God who have a personal interest intheir students.A Dynamic Spiritual EmphasisFrom its beginning the Seminary has admittedonly students who give evidence of being bornagain. More than regeneration, however, astudent must understand how the Word of Godimpacts his or her daily life. To be qualifiedproperly for seminary instruction, a studentmust be walking in fellowship with God so thathe or she can be taught by the Holy Spirit.At Dallas, the cultivation of the spiritual life isinseparably fused with the scholarly studyof biblical and related subjects. All of this isdesigned to prepare students to communicatethe Word of God in the power of His Spirit.A Strong Commitment to MissionsDTS’s commitment to missions is demonstratedthrough its programs and conferences, whichexpose students to the diverse nature ofmissions and the unique opportunities forvocational missionary service.Students whose goal is career missions mayenroll in the Cross-cultural Ministries emphasisof either the Master of Arts (M.A.) or the Masterof Theology (Th.M.) degree programs. Thoseparticularly interested in Bible translationshould consider the Master of Arts in BiblicalExegesis and Linguistics (M.A./BEL) program,offered jointly with the Graduate Institute ofApplied Linguistics (GIAL). Th.M. courses arealso offered in urban ministries.Students in most of the Seminary’s master’sleveldegree programs are required to take atleast one course in the Department of WorldMissions and Intercultural Studies. A numberof elective courses are available to studentswho desire greater exposure to missions issuesin North America or abroad.10 Dallas Theological Seminary 2013–2014 Catalog

Those planning on writing a thesis should register for the thesis in the fall semester of the fourth year (or the year ofgraduation). Students writing a thesis are advised to begin the process of topic selection the year before the year of graduation.3 Students should average 15 hours per semester in order to complete the Th.M. degree in four years without taking courses in SummerSchool or Wintersession. However, since ministry emphasis and elective courses at Dts vary between 2 and 3 semester hours, somesemesters after the second year may have slightly more or fewer hours, depending on courses taken. For information on schedulingcourses effectively, students should consult the Registrar’s office.4 Students have 24 hours of electives beyond the 96-hour core Th.M. curriculum from which they select a ministry emphasis as well as otherelective courses based on vocational intent and interest. Regardless of emphasis, students must take at least 9 hours of the 24 elective hoursin the Ministries and Communications division. In many cases, all or part of these 9 hours will have already been taken within the emphasis,but if not, the student must take them within the remainder of the 24-hour elective pool. Emphasis courses are chosen in consultation withan academic department.students in the Th.M. program may also take up to an additional (over and above the 120 hours required for the degree) five courses forcredit for a modest fee to cover the cost of materials.

However, students should be awarethat the linguistics courses from GIAL requireprerequisites that may extend the length of theprogram. Before students begin their studies inthe M.A./BEL, they should consult the DTSregistrar to develop a degree plan for completingrequirements. This plan will include inputfrom GIAL on the completion of linguisticsrequirements.GIAL has designed its courses to be taught insix-month bimesters, from either Januarythrough June or July through December.Each bimester is divided into four sessions.DTS follows a regular early-semester calendar.This results in the overlap of DTS courseswith GIAL courses in a given term. As such,students are strongly encouraged to adhereto the curriculum chart that follows.Students should consult both the DTS andGIAL Registrars’ offices for information onscheduling options. The Admissions office atDTS also will be able to assist students.academic proceduresA dual registration process is followed for allGIAL courses taken for the degree. Studentsmust register through GIAL before takinglinguistics courses at that campus. DTS isthen notified by GIAL and enters the coursesin the DTS registration system. This allows thetracking of student status for such purposes asloan deferments, international visa requirements,etc. There is no charge for the DTS portion ofthe registration process for GIAL courses.At the end of each term GIAL sends officialgrade sheets to the Registrar’s office at DallasSeminary for transcripting of their courses.Grades earned for GIAL courses are factoredinto the cumulative grade point average atDTS.gIAl course descriptionsThe following courses are offered throughthe Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics.Prerequisite courses are not listed, but maybe found in the GIAL catalog availablefrom the Admissions office at GIAL bycalling 800-892-3356 or 972-708-7340,emailing admissions@gial.edu, or goingonline at www.gial.edu.AL5207Field Data ManagementAfter completing this course, studentswill be able to use computationaltools for managing and presentingphonological, textual and lexical datacollected in linguistic field research.Prerequisite: AL4302 Principles ofArticulatory and Acoustic Phonetics,AL4303 Principles of PhonologicalAnalysis, AL4410b Principles ofGrammatical Analysis, LD4505 SecondLanguage and Culture Acquisition.Corequisite: AL5406 Field Methods andLinguistic Analysis. 2 hours.M.A. in Biblical Exegesis & Linguistics (M.A./Bel)M.A. in Biblical Exegesis & Linguistics (M.A./Bel)37

Distance & Online Educationand special programs & sessionsOnline education at DTS is primarily designed to allow students to take graduate-level credit coursesequivalent to the courses offered in the classroom at DTS that may apply toward a degree programat the Dallas campus or any DTS extension. Online courses are ideal for students who wish tocontinue study while serving on short-term missions trips or to help balance education with liferesponsibilities, such as work and family. Also, by receiving graduate-level preparation throughonline courses, students may supplement their current vocations and serve better their families,churches, or communities.While you cannot complete a full degree program online, you can complete the Certificate of Biblicaland Theological Studies online. You can take up to 30 total semester hours toward your degreeprogram online.online educationElements of an Online CourseAll of the elements necessary for truly life-changing theological education are present in our onlineformat: instruction from world-class faculty, challenging assignments, and a community experience.Online courses are structured in a very similar format to traditional classroom learning. Coursesare arranged in units (usually one to three weeks in length) and students are assigned a series oftasks to accomplish before the end of each unit. These tasks include reading, watching video clipsof previously captured lecture material, completing and posting written assignments to the onlineplatform, offering feedback on fellow students’ work, and participating in class discussions in anonline-forum setting.Online courses provide flexibility but are not independent studies. They do not meet at a certaintime in a given day, but during a given period of days for a particular unit. Like any course, thereare due dates for unit tasks. However, there is flexibility for viewing lecture materials within eachunit.Technology RequirementsThere are three technical requirements for DTS online education.

Doctrinal statementFaculty, Administration,& General informationDTS enrolls men and women who:1. show evidence of saving faith in Christ2. are of proven Christian character3. are endowed with appropriate spiritual gifts4. adhere to the following doctrines:• the authority and inerrancy of Scripture• the Trinity• Christ’s full deity and humanity• the spiritual lostness of the human race• Christ’s substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection• salvation by faith alone in Christ alone• the physical return of ChristWhile students must adhere to the seven doctrines listed above to be admitted and graduate, eachfacultymember affirms full agreement with the entire doctrinal statement reproduced below.Article I—THE SCRIPTURESWe believe that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God,” by which we understand the wholeBible is inspired in the sense that holy men of God “were moved by the Holy Spirit” to write thevery words of Scripture. We believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to allparts of the writings—historical, poetical, doctrinal, and prophetical—as appeared in the originalmanuscripts. We believe that the whole Bible in the originals is therefore without error. We believethat all the Scriptures center about the Lord Jesus Christ in His person and work in His first andsecond coming, and hence that no portion, even of the Old Testament, is properly read, or understood,until it leads to Him. We also believe that all the Scriptures were designed for our practical instruction(Mark 12:26, 36; 13:11; Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Acts 1:16; 17:2–3; 18:28; 26:22–23; 28:23; Rom. 15:4;1 Cor. 2:13; 10:11; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21).Article II—THE GODHEADWe believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the HolySpirit—and that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections,and worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence, and obedience (Matt. 28:18–19; Mark 12:29;John 1:14; Acts 5:3–4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Heb. 1:1–3; Rev. 1:4–6).Article III—ANGELS, FALLEN AND UNFALLENWe believe that God created an innumerable company of sinless, spiritual beings, known asangels; that one, “Lucifer, son of the morning”—the highest in rank—sinned through pride, therebybecoming Satan; that a great company of the angels followed him in his moral fall, some of whombecame demons and are active as his agents and associates in the prosecution of his unholypurposes, while others who fell are “reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto thejudgment of the great day” (Isa. 14:12–17; Ezek. 28:11–19; 1 Tim. 3:6; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6).We believe that Satan is the originator of sin, and that, under the permission of God, he, throughsubtlety, led our first parents into transgression, thereby accomplishing their moral fall andsubjecting them and their posterity to his own power; that he is the enemy of God and the people214Dallas Theological Seminary 2013–2014 Catalog

of God, opposing and exalting himself aboveall that is called God or that is worshiped; andthat he who in the beginning said, “I will belike the most High,” in his warfare appears asan angel of light, even counterfeiting the worksof God by fostering religious movements andsystems of doctrine, which systems in everycase are characterized by a denial of the efficacyof the blood of Christ and of salvation by gracealone (Gen. 3:1–19; Rom. 5:12–14; 2 Cor. 4:3–4;11:13–15; Eph. 6:10–12; 2 Thess. 2:4; 1 Tim. 4:1–3).We believe that Satan was judged at the Cross,though not then executed, and that he, ausurper, now rules as the “god of this world”;that, at the second coming of Christ, Satan willbe bound and cast into the abyss for a thousandyears, and after the thousand years he willbe loosed for a little season and then “castinto the lake of fire and brimstone,” where he“shall be tormented day and night for ever andever” (Col. 2:15; Rev. 20:1–3, 10).We believe that a great company of angels kepttheir holy estate and are before the throneof God, from whence they are sent forth asministering spirits to minister for them whoshall be heirs of salvation (Luke 15:10; Eph. 1:21;Heb. 1:14; Rev. 7:12).We believe that man was made lower than theangels; and that, in His incarnation, Christ tookfor a little time this lower place that He mightlift the believer to His own sphere above theangels (Heb. 2:6–10).Article IV—MAN, CREATEDAND FALLENWe believe that man was originally created inthe image and after the likeness of God, andthat he fell through sin, and, as a consequenceof his sin, lost his spiritual life, becoming deadin trespasses and sins, and that he becamesubject to the power of the devil. We alsobelieve that this spiritual death, or totaldepravity of human nature, has been transmittedto the entire human race of man, the ManChrist Jesus alone being excepted; and hencethat every child of Adam is born into the worldwith a nature which not only possesses nospark of divine life, but is essentially andunchangeably bad apart from divine grace(Gen. 1:26; 2:17; 6:5; Pss. 14:1–3; 51:5; Jer. 17:9;John 3:6; 5:40; 6:35; Rom. 3:10–19; 8:6–7;Eph. 2:1–3; 1 Tim. 5:6; 1 John 3:8).Article V—THE DISPENSATIONSWe believe that the dispensations are stewardshipsby which God administers His purposeon the earth through man under varyingresponsibilities. We believe that the changesin the dispensational dealings of God withman depend on changed conditions orsituations in which man is successively foundwith relation to God, and that these changesare the result of the failures of man and thejudgments of God. We believe that differentadministrative responsibilities of this characterare manifest in the biblical record, that theyspan the entire history of mankind, and thateach ends in the failure of man under therespective test and in an ensuing judgmentfrom God. We believe that three of thesedispensations or rules of life are the subjectof extended revelation in the Scriptures, viz.,the dispensation of the Mosaic Law, thepresent dispensation of grace, and the futuredispensation of the millennial kingdom. Webelieve that these are distinct and are not tobe intermingled or confused, as they arechronologically successive.We believe that the dispensations are notways of salvation nor different methods ofadministering the so-called Covenant of Grace.They are not in themselves dependent oncovenant relationships but are ways of lifeand responsibility to God which test thesubmission of man to His revealed will duringa particular time. We believe that if man doestrust in his own efforts to gain the favor of Godor salvation under any dispensational test,because of inherent sin his failure to satisfyfully the just requirements of God is inevitableand his condemnation sure.We believe that according to the “eternalpurpose” of God (Eph. 3:11) salvation in thedivine reckoning is always “by grace throughfaith,” and rests upon the basis of the shedblood of Christ. We believe that God hasalways been gracious, regardless of the rulingdispensation, but that man has not at all timesbeen under an administration or stewardshipof grace as is true in the present dispensation(1 Cor. 9:17; Eph. 3:2; 3:9, asv; Col. 1:25;1 Tim. 1:4, asv).We believe that it has always been true that“without faith it is impossible to please” God(Heb. 11:6), and that the principle of faith wasprevalent in the lives of all the Old Testamentsaints. However, we believe that it was historicallyimpossible that they should have had as theconscious object of their faith the incarnate,crucified Son, the Lamb of God (John 1:29), andthat it is evident that they did not comprehendas we do that the sacrifices depicted the personand work of Christ. We believe also that theydid not understand the redemptive significanceof the prophecies or types concerning thesufferings of Christ (1 Pet. 1:10–12); therefore,we believe that their faith toward God wasmanifested in other ways as is shown by theDoctrinal statementdoctrinal statement215

Doctrinal statementlong record in Hebrews 11:1–40. We believefurther that their faith thus manifested wascounted unto them for righteousness (cf.Rom. 4:3 with Gen. 15:6; Rom. 4:5–8; Heb. 11:7).Article VI—THE FIRSTADVENTWe believe that, as provided and purposed byGod and as preannounced in the propheciesof the Scriptures, the eternal Son of God cameinto this world that He might manifest Godto men, fulfill prophecy, and become theRedeemer of a lost world. To this end He wasborn of the virgin, and received a human bodyand a sinless human nature (Luke 1:30–35;John 1:18; 3:16; Heb. 4:15).We believe that, on the human side, He becameand remained a perfect man, but sinlessthroughout His life; yet He retained His absolutedeity, being at the same time very God andvery man, and that His earth-life sometimesfunctioned within the sphere of that whichwas human and sometimes within thesphere of that which was divine (Luke 2:40;John 1:1–2; Phil. 2:5–8).We believe that in fulfillment of prophecy Hecame first to Israel as her Messiah-King, andthat, being rejected of that nation, He, accordingto the eternal counsels of God, gave His lifeas a ransom for all (John 1:11; Acts 2:22–24;1 Tim. 2:6).We believe that, in infinite love for the lost,He voluntarily accepted His Father’s will andbecame the divinely provided sacrificial Lamband took away the sin of the world, bearingthe holy judgments against sin which therighteousness of God must impose. His deathwas therefore substitutionary in the mostabsolute sense—the just for the unjust—andby His death He became the Savior of thelost (John 1:29; Rom. 3:25–26; 2 Cor. 5:14;Heb. 10:5–14; 1 Pet. 3:18).We believe that, according to the Scriptures, Hearose from the dead in the same body, thoughglorified, in which He had lived and died, andthat His resurrection body is the pattern ofthat body which ultimately will be given to allbelievers (John 20:20; Phil. 3:20–21).We believe that, on departing from the earth,He was accepted of His Father and that Hisacceptance is a final assurance to us that Hisredeeming work was perfectly accomplished(Heb. 1:3).We believe that He became Head over allthings to the church which is His body, and inthis ministry He ceases not to intercede andadvocate for the saved (Eph. 1:22–23; Heb. 7:25;1 John 2:1).Article VII—SALVATIONonly THROUGH CHRISTWe believe that, owing to universal deaththrough sin, no one can enter the kingdom ofGod unless born again; and that no degree ofreformation however great, no attainmentsin morality however high, no culture howeverattractive, no baptism or other ordinancehowever administered, can help the sinnerto take even one step toward heaven; but anew nature imparted from above, a new lifeimplanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word,is absolutely essential to salvation, and onlythose thus saved are sons of God. We believe,also, that our redemption has been accomplishedsolely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ,who was made to be sin and was made a cursefor us, dying in our room and stead; and thatno repentance, no feeling, no faith, no goodresolutions, no sincere efforts, no submissionto the rules and regulations of any church, norall the churches that have existed since thedays of the Apostles can add in the very leastdegree to the value of the blood, or to the meritof the finished work wrought for us by Himwho united in His person true and proper deitywith perfect and sinless humanity (Lev. 17:11;Isa. 64:6; Matt. 26:28; John 3:7–18; Rom. 5:6–9;2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13; 6:15; Eph. 1:7; Phil. 3:4–9;Titus 3:5; James 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:18–19, 23).We believe that the new birth of the believercomes only through faith in Christ and thatrepentance is a vital part of believing, and is inno way, in itself, a separate and independentcondition of salvation; nor are any other acts,such as confession, baptism, prayer, or faithfulservice, to be added to believing as a conditionof salvation (John 1:12; 3:16, 18, 36; 5:24; 6:29;Acts 13:39; 16:31; Rom. 1:16–17; 3:22, 26; 4:5;10:4; Gal. 3:22).Article VIII—THE EXTENTOF SALVATIONWe believe that when an unregenerate personexercises that faith in Christ which is illustratedand described as such in the New Testament,he passes immediately out of spiritual deathinto spiritual life, and from the old creationinto the new; being justified from all things,accepted before the Father as Christ His Sonis accepted, loved as Christ is loved, havinghis place and portion as linked to Him andone with Him forever. Though the saved onemay have occasion to grow in the realizationof his blessings and to know a fuller measureof divine power through the yielding of his lifemore fully to God, he is, as soon as he is saved,in possession of every spiritual blessing andabsolutely complete in Christ, and is therefore216Dallas Theological Seminary 2013–2014 Catalog

in no way required by God to seek a so-called“second blessing,” or a “second work of grace”(John 5:24; 17:23; Acts 13:39; Rom. 5:1; 1 Cor.3:21–23; Eph. 1:3; Col. 2:10; 1 John 4:17; 5:11–12).Article IX—sanctificationWe believe that sanctification, which is asetting-apart unto God, is threefold: It isalready complete for every saved personbecause his position toward God is the same asChrist’s position. Since the believer is in Christ,he is set apart unto God in the measure inwhich Christ is set apart unto God. We believe,however, that he retains his sin nature, whichcannot be eradicated in this life. Therefore,while the standing of the Christian in Christ isperfect, his present state is no more perfectthan his experience in daily life. There is,therefore, a progressive sanctification whereinthe Christian is to “grow in grace,” and to “bechanged” by the unhindered power of theSpirit. We believe also that the child of Godwill yet be fully sanctified in his state as he isnow sanctified in his standing in Christ whenhe shall see his Lord and shall be “like Him”(John 17:17; 2 Cor. 3:18; 7:1; Eph. 4:24; 5:25–27;1 Thess. 5:23; Heb. 10:10, 14; 12:10).Article X—ETERNALsecurityWe believe that, because of the eternal purposeof God toward the objects of His love, becauseof His freedom to exercise grace toward themeritless on the ground of the propitiatoryblood of Christ, because of the very natureof the divine gift of eternal life, because ofthe present and unending intercession andadvocacy of Christ in heaven, because of theimmutability of the unchangeable covenantsof God, because of the regenerating, abidingpresence of the Holy Spirit in the hearts ofall who are saved, we and all true believerseverywhere, once saved shall be kept savedforever. We believe, however, that God is aholy and righteous Father and that, since Hecannot overlook the sin of His children, Hewill, when they persistently sin, chasten themand correct them in infinite love; but havingundertaken to save them and keep them forever,apart from all human merit, He, who cannotfail, will in the end present every one of themfaultless before the presence of His glory andconformed to the image of His Son (John 5:24;10:28; 13:1; 14:16–17; 17:11; Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 6:19;Heb. 7:25; 1 John 2:1–2; 5:13; Jude 24).Article XI—ASSURANCEWe believe it is the privilege, not only of some,but of all who are born again by the Spiritthrough faith in Christ as revealed in theScriptures, to be assured of their salvationfrom the very day they take Him to be theirSavior and that this assurance is not foundedupon any fancied discovery of their ownworthiness or fitness, but wholly upon thetestimony of God in His written Word, excitingwithin His children filial love, gratitude, andobedience (Luke 10:20; 22:32; 2 Cor. 5:1, 6–8; 2Tim. 1:12; Heb. 10:22; 1 John 5:13).Article XII—THE HOLY SPIRITWe believe that the Holy Spirit, the ThirdPerson of the blessed Trinity, though omnipresentfrom all eternity, took up His abodein the world in a special sense on the day ofPentecost according to the divine promise,dwells in every believer, and by His baptismunites all to Christ in one body, and that He, asthe Indwelling One, is the source of all powerand all acceptable worship and service. Webelieve that He never takes His departure fromthe church, nor from the feeblest of the saints,but is ever present to testify of Christ; seekingto occupy believers with Him and not withthemselves nor with their experiences. Webelieve that His abode in the world in thisspecial sense will cease when Christ comesto receive His own at the completion of thechurch (John 14:16–17; 16:7–15; 1 Cor. 6:19;Eph. 2:22; 2 Thess. 2:7).We believe that, in this age, certain well-definedministries are committed to the Holy Spirit,and that it is the duty of every Christian tounderstand them and to be adjusted to them inhis own life and experience. These ministriesare the restraining of evil in the world to themeasure of the divine will; the convictingof the world respecting sin, righteousness, andjudgment; the regenerating of all believers; theindwelling and anointing of all who are saved,thereby sealing them unto the day of redemption;the baptizing into the one body of Christ of allwho are saved; and the continued filling forpower, teaching, and service of those amongthe saved who are yielded to Him and who aresubject to His will (John 3:6; 16:7–11; Rom. 8:9;1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:30; 5:18; 2 Thess. 2:7;1 John 2:20–27).We believe that some gifts of the Holy Spiritsuch as speaking in tongues and miraculoushealings were temporary. We believe thatspeaking in tongues was never the commonor necessary sign of the baptism nor of theDoctrinal statementdoctrinal statement217

Doctrinal statementfilling of the Spirit, and that the deliveranceof the body from sickness or death awaitsthe consummation of our salvation in theresurrection (Acts 4:8, 31; Rom. 8:23; 1 Cor.13:8).Article XIII—THE CHURCH,A UNITY OF BELIEVERSWe believe that all who are united to therisen and ascended Son of God are membersof the church which is the body and brideof Christ, which began at Pentecost and iscompletely distinct from Israel. Its membersare constituted as such regardless of membershipor nonmembership in the organized churchesof earth. We believe that by the same Spirit allbelievers in this age are baptized into, and thusbecome, one body that is Christ’s, whetherJews or Gentiles, and having become membersone of another, are under solemn duty to keepthe unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,rising above all sectarian differences, andloving one another with a pure heart fervently(Matt. 16:16–18; Acts 2:42–47; Rom. 12:5;1 Cor. 12:12–27; Eph. 1:20–23; 4:3–10;Col. 3:14–15).Article XIV—THE SACRAMENTS ORORDINANCESWe believe that water baptism and the Lord’sSupper are the only sacraments and ordinancesof the church and that they are a scripturalmeans of testimony for the church in this age(Matt. 28:19; Luke 22:19–20; Acts 10:47–48;16:32–33; 18:7–8; 1 Cor. 11:26).Article XV—THE CHRISTIAN WALKWe believe that we are called with a holy calling,to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit,and so to live in the power of the indwellingSpirit that we will not fulfill the lust of theflesh. But the flesh with its fallen, Adamicnature, which in this life is never eradicated,being with us to the end of our earthlypilgrimage, needs to be kept by the Spiritconstantly in subjection to Christ, or it willsurely manifest its presence in our lives tothe dishonor of our Lord (Rom. 6:11–13; 8:2, 4,12–13; Gal. 5:16–23; Eph. 4:22–24; Col. 2:1–10;1 Pet. 1:14–16; 1 John 1:4–7; 3:5–9).Article XVI—THE CHRISTIAN’S SERVICEWe believe that divine, enabling gifts forservice are bestowed by the Spirit upon allwho are saved. While there is a diversity ofgifts, each believer is energized by the sameSpirit, and each is called to his own divinelyappointed service as the Spirit may will. Inthe apostolic church there were certain giftedmen—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors,and teachers—who were appointed by God forthe perfecting of the saints unto their workof the ministry. We believe also that todaysome men are especially called of God to beevangelists, pastors, and teachers, and thatit is to the fulfilling of His will and to Hiseternal glory that these shall be sustainedand encouraged in their service for God(Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 12:4–11; Eph. 4:11).We believe that, wholly apart from salvationbenefits which are bestowed equally upon allwho believe, rewards are promised accordingto the faithfulness of each believer in his servicefor his Lord, and that these rewards will bebestowed at the judgment seat of Christ afterHe comes to receive His own to Himself(1 Cor. 3:9–15; 9:18–27; 2 Cor. 5:10).Article XVII—THE GREATcommissionWe believe that it is the explicit message of ourLord Jesus Christ to those whom He has savedthat they are sent forth by Him into the worldeven as He was sent forth of His Father into theworld. We believe that, after they are saved,they are divinely reckoned to be related to thisworld as strangers and pilgrims, ambassadorsand witnesses, and that their primary purposein life should be to make Christ known to thewhole world (Matt. 28:18–19; Mark 16:15;John 17:18; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:18–20; 1 Pet. 1:17;2:11).Article XVIII—THE BLESSED HOPEWe believe that, according to the Word ofGod, the next great event in the fulfillmentof prophecy will be the coming of the Lord inthe air to receive to Himself into heaven bothHis own who are alive and remain unto Hiscoming, and also all who have fallen asleep inJesus, and that this event is the blessed hopeset before us in the Scripture, and for this weshould be constantly looking (John 14:1–3;1 Cor. 15:51–52; Phil. 3:20; 1 Thess. 4:13–18;Titus 2:11–14).218Dallas Theological Seminary 2013–2014 Catalog

Article XIX—THE TRIBULATIONWe believe that the translation of the churchwill be followed by the fulfillment of Israel’sseventieth week (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 6:1–19:21)during which the church, the body of Christ,will be in heaven. The whole period of Israel’sseventieth week will be a time of judgment onthe whole earth, at the end of which the timesof the Gentiles will be brought to a close. Thelatter half of this period will be the time ofJacob’s trouble (Jer. 30:7), which our Lordcalled the great tribulation (Matt. 24:15–21).We believe that universal righteousness willnot be realized previous to the second comingof Christ, but that the world is day by dayripening for judgment and that the age willend with a fearful apostasy.Article XX—THE SECONDcoming OF CHRISTWe believe that the period of great tribulationin the earth will be climaxed by the return ofthe Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went,in person on the clouds of heaven, andwith power and great glory to introduce themillennial age, to bind Satan and place himin the abyss, to lift the curse which now restsupon the whole creation, to restore Israel toher own land and to give her the realizationof God’s covenant promises, and to bringthe whole world to the knowledge of God(Deut. 30:1–10; Isa. 11:9; Ezek. 37:21–28;Matt. 24:15–25:46; Acts 15:16–17; Rom. 8:19–23; 11:25–27; 1 Tim. 4:1–3; 2 Tim. 3:1–5;Rev. 20:1–3).Article XXI—THE ETERNAL STATEWe believe that at death the spirits and soulsof those who have trusted in the Lord JesusChrist for salvation pass immediately into Hispresence and there remain in conscious blissuntil the resurrection of the glorified bodywhen Christ comes for His own, whereuponsoul and body reunited shall be associatedwith Him forever in glory; but the spiritsand souls of the unbelieving remain afterdeath conscious of condemnation and inmisery until the final judgment of the greatwhite throne at the close of the millennium,when soul and body reunited shall be castinto the lake of fire, not to be annihilated, butto be punished with everlasting destructionfrom the presence of the Lord, and from theglory of His power (Luke 16:19–26; 23:42; 2Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23; 2 Thess. 1:7–9; Jude 6–7;Rev. 20:11–15).Doctrinal statementdoctrinal statement219

Since the majority of graduate theologicalinstitutions track such effectiveness data in a varietyof ways, the following information is designed onlyto give interested individuals and the Seminary’sconstituencies information about the Seminary andshould not be used as a comparison, either good orbad, to the effectiveness of other seminaries andgraduate-level theological institutions.PersistenceDTS tracks persistence and graduation rates for itsmaster’s-level degree programs. The persistencerates are a measure of the number of students thatcontinue in a Seminary degree program three yearsafter initial matriculation into the Seminary. Ofmasters students initially matriculating from fall2007 through fall 2009, 65% continued or graduatedafter three years. Within that group, 71% of Masterof Theology (Th.M.) students (the Seminary’s flagship,four-year, ministry-preparation degree program)continued after three years.Graduation RatesGraduation rates are a measure of the number ofstudents who actually graduated with a DTS degreewithin eight years of initial matriculation. Eight yearsis the upper time-limit within which a student mustcomplete a program of study. Of the master’s-levelstudents initially matriculating from fall 2002 throughfall 2004, 62% graduated within eight years. Withinthat group, 60% of students matriculating into theTh.M. earned their degrees within eight years.Placement InformationThe Seminary also tracks the percentage of knowngraduates who are in various categories of employmentwithin a specified number of months of graduation.Of the 2012 graduates whose ministry placementsare known to the Seminary within five monthsof their graduation, 38% are working in churchministry, 12% in parachurch ministry, 6% inmissions, 12% in education, and 12% in secularemployment. Twenty percent of 2012 graduatesare still in placement five months after graduation.Further evidence that graduates of the Seminary areprepared for a lifetime of ministry can be seen froma recent canvass of the Seminary’s 13,040 livingalumni. Of those for whom the Seminary has theinformation, 35% are working in church ministry,17% in parachurch ministries, 14% in education,7% in missions, 19% in secular work, and 8% areretired.fall 2012 student summaryStudent Summary235
