“We are living in exciting times! Even in this already postmodern era, evil is now manifesting itself at unprecedented levels. Besides the perilous wickedness, evil, corruption, and violence that rivals the pre-Flood state of affairs on the earth (Genesis 6:5,11), godless immorality, LGBTQIA+ agenda (an acronym used to signify Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual people collectively), obsessions of racism, lawlessness, injustice, abortion, and gender fluidity, have become the standard, and the operating principles of our society’s major institutions.”

Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “Soul Baptism” by Lucian J. Gandolfo. This book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website.
”Soul Baptism” by Lucian J. Gandolfo is a notable work that explores the possibility of reconciliation between differing Christian groups, particularly Calvinists and Pentecostals. The author presents a unique perspective on doctrinal differences through what he terms “divine triangulation,” emphasizing the importance of unity among believers.
Dr. Lucian J. Gandolfo brings a wealth of experience to this discourse, having served as an ordained minister and former denominational leader. His unique background as a former FBI special agent enriches his analytical approach to theologians and his understanding of divisive issues among different Christian groups. This background lends credibility to his insights on the necessity of reconciliation within the Christian community.
He is an ordained minister with an earned PhD in theology who has been a pastor, a denominational leader, and an FBI agent! Rev. Gandolfo retired from the FBI in 2005 as the Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge (ASAC) of the New York FBI Criminal Division’s White Collar Crime Branch.
He served as Pastor of several Pentecostal churches, including the historical Trinity Tabernacle of Gravesend in Brooklyn, NY, and currently serves as the Senior Pastor of an Independent Fundamental Baptist church in Melbourne, FL! Rev. Gandolfo’s associations with various Reformed, Baptist, and Pentecostal fellowships over the past few decades have afforded him a unique insight and understanding of what makes these groups distinct, yet perhaps closer in their beliefs than what they themselves realize or are willing to acknowledge.
Rev. Gandolfo uses his understanding of Biblical doctrines and his investigative mind to dig beneath the surface of divisive Church issues that have created, what he believes are, unnecessary barriers between fellow Christian brethren of precious like-faith. As we are seeing in our day the increasingly united world moves against the Judeo-Christian Faith, the Church needs to awaken and reassess our principles to be the united end-days voice God wants us to be.
In this day of global divisiveness, can it be possible, for the sake of the Gospel, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be united enough to enjoy true and meaningful inter-denominational fellowship and carry out His Great Commission without compromising the established truths of His Word? Christianity’s “Big Three” seemingly unbridgeable doctrinal chasms addressed in SOUL BAPTISM are ‘Sovereignty vs. Free Will,’ ‘Eternal Security vs. Falling from Grace,’ and ‘Cessationism vs. Continuationism.’
Is it even realistic that these deeply held opposing views could be reconciled from the very same Word of God we all hold so dear as the sole basis for our Faith? Author Lucian Gandolfo emphatically says, “Yes”! SOUL BAPTISM unveils a key to helping achieve the unity that the Lord has commanded for His Church in what he calls “divine triangulation.”
“Soul Baptism” offers an enlightening and refreshing perspective from Scripture that is a must-read for every Bible-believing Christian, student, teacher, minister, and even theologian.
The book has been well-received, with reviews highlighting it as a well-researched work that is relevant for Bible study readers and scholars alike. It promotes the unification of believers through a shared understanding, making it a significant contribution to discussions of Christian unity and doctrinal reconciliation. “Soul Baptism” serves as both an informative guide and an inspiring call for Christians to come together despite their differences.
“Soul Baptism” is a refreshing and enlightening must-read for every Bible-believing Christian, student, teacher, and minister. The book aims to address and reconcile the fundamental theological divides between various Christian denominations, particularly focusing on the contrasts between fundamentalist Baptists and Pentecostals. It seeks not only to highlight these differences but to ultimately bridge them through an understanding grounded in Scripture.
