Christians disavow any formula whereby people are saved by grace, then lose that salvation by their own lack of works ! Our position ...the Scriptural position... being that the work of Jesus Christ redeems people. We ain't saved -in any part- by our own works. And we don't stay...

Regeneration simply and only cures blindness. It must never be confused with conversion. Regeneration is contentless. Regeneration doesn't save us. It is a precursor to salvation. Even makes salvation possible, as the blind/deaf/ hard-of-heart can't see/hear/accept the Gospel. But...

Very, very smart move cause Charles Ryrie is in error because he says: "The only 'work' that a man can do that is acceptable to God is to believe in Christ" A careful reading of John 6:24-37 reveals Jesus never says they "can do" this work of faith. In fact, the passage depicts...

You're really fighting for the sake of fighting. You go in circles and come back to the starting point. Once you have your theology right, your circle will straighten out.

The synergism vs. monergism debate is foundational and goes back to the time of the Reformation. Christians rejecting Rome's soteriology that we're justified before God by a grace + human works formula. Reformation Christians maintained that we are saved by faith alone [sola fide]...

FG confirmes why I shouldn't visit a non-denominational church since I beleive he represents them. They may be some sort of anti Calvinist and anti- armininian where they do want to be called both or neither or the other. They don't like creeds, confessions or any orders of congregation. Non...

“We are often told that we limit the atonement of Christ, because we say that Christ has not made satisfaction for all men, or all men would be saved. Now, our reply to this is, that, on the other hand, our opponents limit it: we do not. The Arminians say, Christ died for all men...

“[If Jesus died for all men]…why then, are not all freed from the punishment of all their sins? You will say, “Because of their unbelief; they will not believe.” But his unbelief, is it sin, or not? If not, why should they be punished for it? If it be sin, then...

This passage is also valuable because it gives clear guidance as to how the word "all" is used in the Scriptures. We must not forget that it is not only used here but further defined as "all whom the Father giveth me." The "all" for whom Christ died, as this passage shows so clearly, never...

Anti-Calvinism At It's Worst Every Calvinist who has spent any time trying to witness to others the truth of the doctrines of grace has experienced what can only be called "anti-Calvinism". Anti-Calvinism can be characterized by sheer hatred of the doctrines of grace and the...

Acts 16:30-31 'He then brought them out and asked, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved —you and your household'." Yeah, THAT's a ~proclamation~. What is necessary for salvation ? Belief in Jesus Christ. Just as long as in our...

Under PCUSA's summary, it states: "The largest Reformed Denomination in the U.S., has a strongly liberal leadership and is has approved of homosexual marriage and ordination". I didn't know that PCUSA had approved homosexual marriage, YET. Has that "yet" happened yet?

That's the only true faith, and salvific faith. But 1 John 2:19 pretty clearly implies the existence of other, non-salvific and false faiths. The verse states: "if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us" (NIV)...

Sure there are. FreeGrace2ism is 1.5pt Arminianism. Anti-Reformed/Calvinist and a zealot extreme Dave Hunt will probably quote you in his next book to back him up.
