Assurance Cannot Be Upgraded to Full Assurance

February 2, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, certainty, full assurance

It is quite common among people who hold to Lordship Salvation to speak of two types of assurance of everlasting life. The first kind of assurance is simply called assurance. What is meant by assurance is that one has reason to believe that he may be born again. Typically, the reason for this level-1 assurance

Una de las peores enseñanzas falsas de todos los tiempos es la enseñanza que dice que no puedes estar seguro de que Cristo murió por ti

January 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Una lectora de nuestro blog, K, citó una de mis entradas del blog en la que dije que uno sabe que está creyendo en Jesús para salvarla si tiene la seguridad de la vida eterna. K respondió con este grito de socorro: No tengo la seguridad de la vida eterna. Quiero ser salva. Estoy aterrorizada

Jesus Is Our Loving Shepherd Who Cares for Us (Mark 6:30-44)

January 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 6:35-47, Mark 6:30-44, Psalm 23

For the most part, the Synoptic Gospels do not cover the same material as John’s Gospel. However, the feeding of the 5,000 is an exception. The feeding of the 5,000 is found in all four Gospels. In fact, the feeding of the 5,000 is the only miracle of Jesus recorded in all four Gospels, other

Key Old Testament Books

John asks this interesting question: “Which Old Testament books are a must read for Free Grace born–again believers?” That is a bit like asking which food is must-eating for the person who wants to remain healthy. We need all of the food groups. Proteins, carbs, veggies, good fats, water, etc. In one sense, the Free

The New Testament Understanding of Following Jesus

January 22, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Discipleship, evangelism, Following Jesus, imitating Jesus

A friend sent me some comments and asks my thoughts: Interested in your opinion. I am trying to craft a reasonable response to the “follow Jesus to be saved” concept.  I noticed something: the only times people are told to follow Christ is when He is present and able to be literally followed. The terminology abruptly stops

A reader of our blog, K, cited one of my blogs in which I said that you know you are believing in Jesus to save you if you have assurance of everlasting life. K responded with this cry for help: I do not have assurance of everlasting life. I want to be saved. I’m terrified I’m

Recebi esta excelente pergunta: Adorei o post sobre Adão e Eva. No momento ideal. Eu tenho uma pergunta sobre isso. O homem foi criado para resolver o conflito angelical? Estamos discutindo o propósito da criação do homem em nossa aula de Bíblia com alguns membros incríveis do GES sobre isso. Eu pesquisei algumas informações da

Dois tipos de enchimento do Espírito no Novo Testamento

January 14, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites

Quando eu fazia parte da equipe do ministério universitário da Student Crusades for Christ, eu estava confuso sobre o que era o enchimento do Espírito Santo. De acordo com algumas publicações ministeriais da época, o enchimento do Espírito era quando o Espírito Santo tomava o controle da vida de uma pessoa. Você iria confessar seus

I Did Not Realize How Prevalent Assurance by Works Is

January 14, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, assurance and works, John 11:25-27

I have mentioned before that our 2006 annual conference ended up being controversial. There were two messages on assurance of everlasting life that were met with a divided response. I thought those messages would be well received but about half of the people agreed, while the other half thought that the messages by Zane Hodges

Another Look at the Convicting Ministry of the Holy Spirit to the World (John 16:7-11)

January 12, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, John 16:7-11, the convicting work of the Holy Spirit

Recently I wrote a blog in which I discussed John 16:7-11 and the fact that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. In the blog, which you can see here, I suggested that the Holy Spirit does the convicting work directly. That is, I suggested that every human being knows that
