Un pastor hace una pregunta muy importante: He estado muy bendecido por el ministerio de GES y la claridad con la cual ustedes enseñan. Recientemente di una clase en mi iglesia sobre la seguridad eterna y la certeza, y mi pregunta es: ¿Cómo conversar y discipular a los miembros de la iglesia que piensan que

The Rapture and the Age of Accountability

November 24, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Age of accountability, are children raptured with their parents?, the Rapture and the age of accountability

Martin asks a question that deals with the Rapture but also applies to the gift of everlasting life:  The age of accountability is always mentioned when dealing with the death of a child or someone with mental disabilities.  In 1 Thess 4:17, does the harpazō [catching up, i.e., the Rapture] include those who have not

Faith in Jesus for Salvation Versus Faith in God the Father for Salvation

November 20, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - faith in God the Father for salvation, John 5:24, Romans 4:24

Nikki asks a very important question: If one is saved by believing in Jesus, then why does Rom 4:24—“Now it [Gen 15:6] was not written for his sake alone that it [righteousness] was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our

Shawn y yo recibimos esta pregunta de nuestro amigo llamado John: Necesito ayuda para responder a una pregunta.  Estoy hablando con alguien que no está luchando contra un pecado recurrente sino con un pecado del pasado que ha sido confesado y perdonado (1 Juan 1:9). Esta persona sigue viniendo a Cristo y confesando el mismo

He Who Endures Will Be Saved (Matthew 24:13)

November 17, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, Final Salvation, future salvation, Matthew 24:13, Perseverance of the Saints

John asks this quality question: “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved” (Matt 24:12-13). You may have commented on these verses before, but I couldn’t find it.  It seems to support the idea of the perseverance of the saints. I’ve recently

November 16, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, evangelism, saving faith, sharing the promise of everlasting life

A pastor asks a very important question: I have been extremely blessed by the ministry of GES and the clarity you all teach with. I recently held a class at my church about eternal security and assurance, and my question is, how do you converse and disciple church members who think that it’s not good

The Love of Christ Compels Us (2 Corinthians 5:14)

November 12, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Corinthians 5:14, the love of Christ

Pastor Allen asks, “In 2 Cor. 5:14, is the ‘love of Christ’ that compels us the love that we have for Christ or the love that Christ has for us?” Super question. Both the options he mentions are possible grammatically. But Paul explains what he means when he adds, “because we judge thus: that if

Por qué la mayoría de los calvinistas carecen de la seguridad de la salvación

November 11, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recientemente recibí una pregunta sobre un libro escrito por un autor calvinista, Dean Inserra. Eso me llevó a buscarlo en la web, y descubrí un libro que él escribió en 2020, publicado por Moody Publishers, titulado Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God [Sin duda: Como saber con certeza

Si es Gratuito, ¿Por Qué uno Tendría que Esforzarse por Entrar?–Lucas 13:24

November 9, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Esforzaos a entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán. Este versículo nos puede resultar incómodo para los que creemos en la gratuidad del Evangelio, o al menos deberíamos estarlo a no ser que hayamos considerado cuidadosamente su significado. Después de todo, si la salvación es un regalo

The Difference between God’s Acceptance and His Approval

November 9, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 9:27, 2 Timothy 2:15

I grew up in a home where I knew I was loved. I was a surprise, but a good surprise. My mom turned 40 a few months after I was born. My dad was nearly 40 as well. I was the long-awaited son. Both Mom and Dad hugged and kissed me a lot. They showed
