March 11, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Application, Mark 7:1-16, tradition versus Scripture

March 9, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - interpreting Scripture in light of experience, Justification by faith alone

The Reformation began in AD 1519. The teaching of justification by faith alone is powerfully proclaimed in the New Testament.
