My First Pastor/teacher (doctrine, church, Bible, salvation)

[Michael Way]

I came across this YouTube video of my original pastor/teacher and wanted to post it here.

Robert B. Thieme, Jr. who is now with the Lord was pastor of Berachah Church in Houston Texas for over 50 years. Prior to being commissioned as an officer in the Army Calvary he majored in Greek at the University of Arizona. Nine months before Pearl Harbor, he transferred to the Army Air Corps. He was placed on reserve status in 1946 as a lieutenant colonel. Prior to his release he was in charge of all Army Air Force cadet military training.

Colonel Thieme then attended Dallas Theological Seminary, and graduated summa *** laud. There he acquired the Biblical science of textual criticism and further study of the original languages for a total of nine years of Greek and five of Hebrew.

After seminary he became pastor of Berachah Church. His isagogical, categorical and exegetical teaching of the Word of God became a worldwide ministry.

Since I lived in Florida at the time, I could not attend Berachah Church for face to face teaching. I was a taper. Way back then his classes were recorded on reel to reel tapes, and then eventually on Cassette tapes, and now on MP3. His was a grace ministry and all tapes and publications were free of charge as he felt that it was incompatible with grace to place a price on Bible doctrine.

I owe so very much of what I know to Colonel Thieme's teaching ministry of the Word of God. His son, Robert B.Thieme III is now pastor of Berachah Church.

This is a short 13 minute video of a segment of one of his classes. In this segment he teaches the mechanics of salvation.
