About the Debate
Southern California Seminary Professor of Biblical Studies and Pastor of Casa de Oro Baptist Church, Ron Barnes, engaged in a public debate with Rommel San Pedro, a leader from Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), on the subject of the deity of Jesus. INC affirms that Jesus is not God in human form and denies the triune nature of God. In this lively debate, Professor Barnes appeals to the authority of God’s inerrant Word, the Bible, to defend Jesus’ deity as well as the Triune Nature of the one true God. Viewing the debate can be a helpful tool to equip Christians to proclaim who Jesus is and the gospel of the grace of God.
