Puritan Board Sophomore
In Romans 6:6, we are told that the old man is crucified. Most of the ministers who have been trained at the Free Church of Scotland College have been taught and are of the view that this verse teaches that the old man is dead.
I read a Spurgeon sermon on Acts 10:14 (http://www.spurgeongems.org/vols31-33/chs1823.pdf) where Spurgeon states that this verse teaches us that the old man remains in the Christian and though crucified, is dying rather than dead.The more I think about it, the more I struggle with the view that the old man is dead.
What is the view here on the board?
Is 'the old man is dead' a minority view?
