Zane Hodges and the Promise of Everlasting Life

February 19, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, John 4:10-14, Zane Hodges

Zane Hodges departed this life in November of 2008. In the dozen years since then, many people have suggested that he changed his view of the saving message. Many pointed to a 2006 message in which he argued that a person is not born again until he is sure that he is eternally secure by

No me di cuenta de cuán prevalente es la seguridad eterna basada en las obras

February 17, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

He mencionado antes que nuestra conferencia anual de 2006 resultó en una controversia. Había dos mensajes sobre la seguridad de la vida eterna que provocaron una respuesta dividida. Pensé que esos mensajes serían bien recibidos, pero sólo aproximadamente la mitad de las personas estuvieron de acuerdo mientras que la otra mitad pensaron que los mensajes

Sharing the Whole Gospel

February 17, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - atonement, evangelism, Repentance

If a cluttered desk is a sign of intelligence, then I must rival Einstein. My desk is a mess. Yesterday I decided to try to clear off my desk in an hour or so. I never got past the first journal I picked up. I had not yet read the July-September 2020 issue of DTS’s

Works Salvation and the New Birth, Part 3

February 15, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Justification by faith alone, Romans 4:4-5

In Parts 1 and 2, we saw that works salvation will not result in the regeneration of anyone who believes that message. To be born again one must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone for the free gift of everlasting life. Adding works to faith is like adding strychnine to water. In

Works Salvation and the New Birth, Part 2

February 11, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Acts 15:1-35, the Jerusalem Council

In Part 1, we discussed the fact that some who call themselves Free Grace believe and teach that works salvation, while wrong, is nonetheless a saving message. I gave several lines of Biblical proof that works salvation is not a saving message. One of the lines of proof is Acts 15, the Jerusalem Council. Here

¿Salvación Mediante la Negación de uno Mismo?

February 10, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame. Porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que pierda su vida por causa de mí, la hallará. Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si ganare todo

Works Salvation and the New Birth, Part 1

February 10, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Galatians 1:6-9, John 5:39-40, John 6:28-29, works salvation

Back in 2006, a Free Grace theologian presented a message at a conference in which he argued that believing in Jesus for the promise of irrevocable everlasting life cannot be a requirement for the new birth since no one believed that between AD 100 and AD 1500. That article was published in the Spring 2008

How to Remember All Ten Commandments in Order

February 4, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 7, The ten commandments

Last week Shawn and I had lunch with one of my former seminary professors, Dr. Craig Glickman. We have been friends since I first met him in 1980. In the course of the conversation, Craig said that studies show that most pastors and most Christians cannot name the Ten Commandments in order. He figured out

Los Creyentes en el periodo de la Tribulación y la marca de la bestia

February 3, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

P.N. plantea un problema muy desafiante: Pues, creo que está mal decirles a las personas que si son salvas, no harán tal cosa u otra (como cometer un pecado). Pienso que esto es la salvación basada en las obras, y les digo públicamente a las personas que está mal. Pero hay un área donde las

Por que a maioria dos calvinistas carece da garantia de salvação

February 2, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites - Evangelho de João e Garantia, Garantia de Salvação, Um Evangelho da Dúvida

Recentemente, recebi uma pergunta sobre um livro de um autor calvinista chamado Dean Inserra. Isso levou a uma pesquisa na Internet e me deparei com um livro de 2020 dele, publicado pela Moody Publishers, intitulado Sem dúvida: Como saber com certeza que você é bom com Deus. GES comprou o livro. Ótimo título. Excelente subtítulo.
