Are the Seven Letters of Revelation 2-3 Directed to Believers After the Church Age?

October 1, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - “I know your works”, Revelation 2 & 3, The Seven Letters to the Seven Churches

SF writes, Surely ALL of the Revelation must be future.  The “letters to the churches” are just chock full of works doctrine.  Can you at least entertain the idea that those letters are to believers and proselytes after the age of grace has come to an end, after the Rapture?  GES is all about grace,

¿Por qué algunos creyentes fieles mueren antes de llegar a la vejez?

September 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Matt hace una pregunta excelente: Sé que la mayoría (si no todos) los teólogos que adhieren a la teología de la Gracia Gratuita sostienen que los creyentes infieles pueden ser disciplinados por Dios con una muerte prematura. Obviamente hay evidencia de esto en las Escrituras, como el ejemplo de Ananías y Safira. Sin embargo, alguien

Do We Need to Confess Our Sins in Order to Be Forgiven?

September 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession and forgiveness

I received an actual letter—handwritten—from Robert asking about confession and forgiveness: Some preachers teach that we as Christians must confess our sins in order to be forgiven of sins after we are born again, according to 1 John 1:9. As I understand it, all our sins were forgiven at the cross. We appropriated our salvation

Is the Promise of Everlasting Life Optional in Evangelism?

September 27, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal security and evangelism, John 11:25-27

About a decade ago, I was talking with a pastor who identified as a Free Grace proponent. He told me that a person need not believe in Jesus for everlasting life or anything at all. All one had to believe is that Jesus was sent from God. Three years ago, I read an article in

Did Moses See God the Father or the Lord Jesus at Mount Sinai?

September 24, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Christophanies, John 1:18, Theophanies

Wendy read my Sept 13, 2021, blog in which I discussed Moses suggesting that it was better that God take him instead of the whole nation from His book. Wendy had two follow-up questions: Hi Bob, reading today’s article, I have two questions for you to teach me: Why did you say that Moses received

Can LGBT People Be Saved?

September 21, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Can LGBT be saved? What must homosexuals do to be saved?

The subject line on the email read, “I am a LGBT. Can I be saved?” Talk about grabbing attention in the first few words. I was locked into what she had to say. Here is what she wrote: Hello. I am from _____ (a country in Asia). I confess that I am gay. My gay

What Evidence Is There That There Will Be Believers in Jesus Christ During the Tribulation?

September 17, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Revelation 16:9-11, Revelation 9:20-21, Saints in the Book of Revelation

Derek asks a very good question: I very much enjoy GES and all of the assurance I’ve found through your writings. I have a question. I’m reading through Revelation and J. Vernon McGee’s commentary. He, as well as others, talks about “Tribulation saints,” people who will turn to Christ during the tribulation.   However, in 9:18

¿Hay más de un tipo de cristiano?

Artículo originariamente escrito en octubre de 2017 Acabo de recibir un libro titulado No Quick Fix: Where Higher Life Theology Came from, What It Is, and Why It’s Harmful (Sin solución rápida: De dónde surgió la teología de la vida superior, qué es y por qué es perjudicial).

How Would You Define Saving Faith?

September 15, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - faith as intellectual assent, saving faith

I still use the expression saving faith occasionally since it saves a lot of space. By saving faith, I mean faith in the saving object, the gift of God (everlasting life, John 4:10, 14; Eph 2:8) given by the Messiah Giver Jesus (John 4:25-26; 6:47). But what is faith? It probably is no surprise to

¿Es la santificación sólo por la fe, aparte de las obras?

September 13, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recientemente leí un artículo sobre la santificación de alguien que se identifica como defensor del movimiento de la Gracia Gratuita. Él sugirió que tanto la justificación como la santificación son por la fe, sin obras. ¿Es eso cierto? Mientras que la justificación es definitivamente por fe, sin obras, ¿es la santificación también por fe, sin
