Assurance and a Past Experience

June 24, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - altar calls, Assurance, Eternal Security, John 20:31, John 6:35

Sometime short questions powerfully capture the problem many people face. This question in my email, from someone we will call David, is a perfect example: Dear Bob: When I was in my teens, I think, or a little younger, I went forward in an invitation. I do not remember quite what happened there. I went

June 22, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Lo siguiente es una adaptación de una sección del capítulo 1 de mi libro Un Evangelio de la Duda, una respuesta al libro El Evangelio Según Jesús del Dr. John MacArthur. El primer capítulo de la tercera edición de El Evangelio Según Jesús de John MacArthur se titula “Sígueme”. Es un nuevo capítulo que no

The Importance of an Error-Free Bible

June 19, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bibliology, inerrancy, Titus 1:2; 2 Timothy 3:16, Verbal plenary inspiration

Today I received a very brief question: Thank you for your amazing discussions! Would you please discuss how we know that the Bible is inerrant, and why it is so important that it is inerrant? I will answer those in reverse order. First, why is it so important that the Bible is inerrant (without error)?

Sins Are Not the Issue in Regeneration

June 17, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16, John 1:29, John 6:28-29, Repentance and Salvation

An interesting question came from someone who happened to see one of my blogs: I came across Bob’s Sept 1, 2019, article. While I appreciate much of what Bob says, his statement in the last paragraph was puzzling to me: “Because of the cross of Christ, our sins and our works are not the issue.”

¿Santos espurios o secretos? (Juan 2:23-25)

June 16, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

“Estando en Jerusalén en la fiesta de la pascua, muchos creyeron en su nombre, viendo las señales que hacía. Pero Jesús mismo no se fiaba de ellos, porque conocía a todos., y no tenía necesidad de que nadie le diese testimonio del hombre, pues él sabía lo que había en el hombre.” Estos tres versículos

Three Books for a Student about to Enter College

June 11, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Darwinism, Free Grace Theology, inerrancy, Postmodernity, Romans 12:2

A pastor gave me an interesting challenge: Greetings! I am a pastor in a free grace church in PA. I have received your magazine for many years. My question: we have a high school student graduating now and going on to a secular college in the fall. She is a believer and has had a

Deny Christ and Ruling with Him

June 5, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Timothy 2:12, confessing Christ, denying Christ, Matthew 10:32-33, Ruling with Christ

Some Free Grace people are very sophisticated in the questions they ask. A solid Free Grace person knows about the doctrine of eternal rewards and may have some concerns in that regard that others would have concerning their salvation. I received an interesting question from an actual handwritten letter. Larry asks, “Anyway, my question is

The Wrath of God Abides on Unbelievers (John 3:36)

June 4, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 3:36, temporal wrath, the wrath of God abides on unbelievers

I received the following question via email: Hello, Bob. Lately on your radio program you have said when the Bible uses the word “wrath,” you think it’s talking about TEMPORARY punishment in this life. But look here in John 3:36: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the

¿Puede un leopardo cambiar sus manchas?

June 2, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

La Seguridad Eterna y los límites del Libre Albedrío Un amigo me envió esta pregunta de segunda mano: “Si Dios desea que siempre tengamos el libre albedrío, ¿por qué no nos permitiría devolver el regalo gratuito de la vida eterna si elegimos hacerlo?” Esta es una objeción común. También me han dicho que mientras que

God’s Sovereign Will Is Sometimes Secret

May 29, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - God’s moral will, God’s sovereign will, unconditional election

Another good question came to me recently: I was reading Bob’s article on the coronavirus in Grace in Focus. At one point he refers to “God’s secret will.”  He says, “The sovereign will of God is everything that actually happens. But before it happens, we don’t know what will occur.”  Doesn’t this put us back
