Our conference was originally scheduled for May 18-21. We moved it back five months due to Covid-19. The attendance was down. Normally we have around 200.

The Rapture in Matthew 24? Nine Proofs

November 1, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

By Bob Wilkin Introduction Somewhere around 2000, I became convinced that in Matt 24:40-44 the Lord is teaching the pre-trib Rapture. I was influenced by conversations with Zane Hodges. Around 2005, I then heard a message defending the pre-trib Rapture in the Olivet Discourse by Dr. John Hart. In 2007-2008, we published three articles by

Recompensas Eternas y Negación de Cristo

October 30, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Un pastor me preguntó sobre una entrada de blog que publicamos en octubre: Hoy he leído tu blog y estoy de acuerdo con casi todo, pero me gustaría ver una referencia de las Escrituras para demostrar que, si mueres negando a Cristo, pierdes la oportunidad de comer del árbol de la vida y vestirte con

Why Most Calvinists Lack Assurance of Salvation

October 30, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - a gospel of doubt, Assurance of Salvation, John’s Gospel and assurance

I recently received a question about a book by a Calvinist author named Dean Inserra. That led to an internet search, and I came across a 2020 book by him, published by Moody Publishers, entitled Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God. GES bought the book. Great title. Great

The Purpose of Humanity

October 28, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Creation, Genesis 1-3, purpose in life, Revelation 21-22

I received this excellent question: I loved the post about Adam and Eve. Perfect timing. I do have a question about that. Was man created to resolve the angelic conflict? We are discussing the purpose of man’s creation in our Bible class with some awesome GES members about this. I have looked up some info

“Y los de junto al camino son los que oyen, y luego viene el diablo y quita de su corazón la palabra, para que no crean y se salven. Los de sobre la piedra son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; pero éstos no tienen raíces; creen por algún tiempo, y en

The Role of the Will in Believing in the Lord Jesus for Everlasting Life

October 23, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 1:12-23, John 5:39-40, Matthew 23:37-39

Paul asks this excellent question: We have had a debate on whether a person has to “will” to believe. Does John 1:13 disagree with that, or am I taking it out of context? Would like to know what you folks believe this verse is saying. John 1:13 is saying that the new birth is not

October 20, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - believing in Jesus, John 3:16, what Jesus promises, who Jesus is

AF wrote to me wondering if I present two different and contradictory understandings of what it means to believe in Jesus: Youi wrote: So, what does it mean to “believe in Jesus”? Does it mean to believe that He existed? That He was born in Bethlehem? That He lives a sinless life? That He is
