Woah, Nellie! This gonna be good...

"Taught by Dr. Lane G. Tipton, this course explores the person of Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God, focusing on the theological, biblical, and historical foundations of Reformed Christology. Organized around the threefold framework of the Logos asarkos (the pre-existent Word), Logos incarnandus (the Word foreordained to assume human nature), and Logos ensarkos (the Word incarnate), students will examine the eternal generation of the Son, the pactum salutis, the hypostatic union, the divine and human natures of Christ, and the implications of each nature for his mediatorial work. The course also considers historical controversies, the ecumenical creeds, and confessional articulations in the Westminster Confession of Faith. Students will engage with biblical texts and classic Reformed primary sources to develop a coherent understanding of the Christological foundation of the Christian faith."

"Christology 1: The Person of Christ is the first course in a projected four-part curriculum on the doctrine of Christ, designed especially for pre-seminary students and for the continuing education of church officers."

Innovator says Christ in his human nature had to earn his adoption.

Defenders of the faith once delivered say, Jesus Christ is a divine person, of the same substance with the Father, equal in power and glory with him. He was not, like we are, born in sin--thus in need of adoption. He is, was, and always will be, the 'natural' son of the Father.

The innovator is at risk of Nestorianism--two natures, two persons.

Defenders of the faith keep us close to the teaching of Scripture as upheld at Nicea and Chalcedon: Christ is one (divine) person, in two natures (divine and human).

This "Christ had to earn his adoption" debate over on Ref21 is wacky.
