Basic Framework Principles 1.We should teach to our hearers as fellow creatures made in God’s image, possessors of conscience, and, if regenerate, recipients of the indwelling Holy Spirit. 2.We should teach antithetically, contrasting the truth with error as needed and demonstrating clearly the implications of each. 3.We should teach in a manner that integrates general and special revelation, events and doctrines, each part mutually reinforcing the other so as to surround unbelief and prevent it from neutralizing our teaching.
