Beware of Eight Traditions That Contradict God’s Word 

February 27, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Church traditions
In one of my online Ecclesiology class lectures, I list over twenty traditions that contradict Scripture. I’ve condensed that to the “elite eight” for this blog. Praying to “the saints.” In the first place, either you’re a saint, or you’re an ain’t. In the second place, we are not to pray to the dead. That

Che cosa riceveranno coloro che diventeranno credenti durante la Tribolazione e il Millennio?

February 26, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - I benefici del credente durante il Millennio
Elwyn ci pone un ottimo quesito che riguarda cosa riceveranno coloro che giungeranno alla fede in Cristo durante la Tribolazione ed il Millennio: Siccome l’opera di rigenerazione dello Spirito Santo è necessaria per la nuova nascita, quali saranno i risultati della rigenerazione dei credenti nella Tribolazione? A causa del Rapimento, non faranno parte della Chiesa, la

Inflexible Theology 

February 26, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Free Grace, Romans 10
A family friend recently started working with a Christian ministry that focuses on youth. She told them that she believes in the gospel of grace and that she enjoys the ministry of GES. The youth ministry claims that it agrees with the Bible’s teaching regarding grace. But our friend noticed that in certain areas, those

会有人相信《约翰福音》 3:16 却选择不要永生吗?

February 26, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 信靠Fiducia, 理解Notitia, 认同Assensus
早在 1990 年,我就在佛罗里达州基西米的佛罗里达圣经学院(FBC)教授过两周的闭会期间课程。我很享受在那里的时光。 其中一名学生讲述了他听说过的一个例子:一个年轻人信了基督,但不想要永生。他的父母都在不信的状态下去世了。这个年轻人确信他们现在在阴间。他相信《约翰福音》 3:16 是真的。但是,他想和父母永远在一起。因此,他选择不接受永生的恩赐。 学生想知道我对这个故事的看法。 前几天,一位名叫 Hal 的 GES 合作伙伴给我发来了同一故事的另一个版本。我在此引用哈尔发来的文章(见此处): 想象有三个人听到了清晰的福音介绍–一个无神论者、一个真正的撒旦崇拜者和一个基督徒。每个人的反应如何? 首先,无神论者理解福音,但他不相信福音是真的。换句话说,他有 notitia [理解],但没有 assensus [认同]。要相信一件事,需要的不仅仅是理解。 其次,真正的撒旦主义者更进一步,她既理解福音,甚至也被说服了福音是真的。换句话说,她既有 “知晓”(notitia),也有 “共识”(assensus)。 但这就意味着她有得救的信仰吗? 她不能,对吗?她还缺少一些东西,但缺少什么呢? 第三,基督徒了解福音,并相信福音是真的。然而,与撒旦信徒不同的是,他迈出了下一步,相信耶稣是他的救主 这就是撒旦教徒和基督徒的区别吗? ……与撒旦教徒不同,基督徒相信耶稣是他的救主,从而亲自接受了救赎的信息,并因此确信耶稣拯救了他。 我曾经认为把信任作为信仰的一个方面是不必要的,但考虑到真正的撒旦信徒的信仰,我认为强调以救赎的方式相信耶稣意味着亲自依靠祂来获得救赎,并确信祂会拯救你(”确信是救赎信仰的本质”)可能会有所帮助。 您认为将 “信靠”(fiducia)与 “理解”(notitia)和 “认同”(assensus)放在一起,是否有助于澄清 “信耶稣得救 “的含义?   我非常欣赏你提到需要确信,因着对基督的信,你就获得了不可改变的救赎。然而,有人认为信心不仅仅包括理解和被说服,这是一个重大错误。如果仅仅相信永生的应许是不够的,又怎么能确信自己的救赎呢?一个人怎么会知道他也相信基督会救他呢?如果这种信任与劝说不同,那它又是什么呢? 关于父母不信的年轻人和撒旦信徒的例子的问题在于,这两个人都不相信《约翰福音 》3:16。年轻人和撒旦都不相信《约翰福音》 3:16 是真的。 《约翰福音》3:16 说,如果你相信耶稣,就没有选择接受或拒绝永生的权利。信他的人无论愿意与否,都会得到永生。 如果这个年轻人和撒旦信徒相信《约翰福音》 3:16 是真的,那么他们就会知道他们拥有永生,尽管他们并不想要永生。如果我相信 “信祂的人有永生 “是真的,而且我也信祂,那么我就知道我有永生。如果我自称信祂,却说我没有永生,那就表明我不相信祂所说的是真的。 但是,如果撒旦信徒说他不信祂,但他知道信祂的人会得到永恒的保障,那该怎么办呢? 首先,我不相信有这样的人存在。 其次,他的观点是 “信他的人 “这句话不适用于他,因为他恨耶稣,不想要永生。但《约翰福音》 3:16 中没有例外。一切信他的(Whoever)就是一切信他的(Whoever)。如果他认为有例外,那么他就不相信这节经文。 哲学上有句话 “如果 A,那么 B。应用到约翰福音

Может ли человек уверовать в Иоанна 3:16 и принять решение не обладать вечной жизнью?

February 25, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Assensus, Fiducia, Notitia
В 1990 году я преподавал двухнедельный курс между сессиями в Библейском колледже во Флориде, в Киссимми. Мне очень понравилось время, проведенное там. Один из студентов рассказал услышанную им иллюстрацию о молодом человеке, который уверовал во Христа, но не хотел вечную жизнь. Его родители умерли неверующими, и он был убежден, что они попали в ад. Он

What’s the Difference Between a Pastor and a Teacher? Ephesians 4:11 

February 23, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Ephesians 4:11, pastor-teacher
I heard a good sermon on unity this past Sunday. At one point, the message touched on Eph 4:11, which says, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” Have you ever wondered what Paul meant by pastors and teachers? Did you know that Eph 4:11

Что означает награда за окончание христианского забега?

February 22, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Награда, Окончить забег
“Все подвижники воздерживаются от всего: те для получения венца тленного, а мы–нетленного.” (1 Кор 9:25) “стремлюсь к цели, к почести вышнего звания Божия во Христе Иисусе.” (Флп 3:14) Христианам поручено задание окончить забег, который является метафорой христианской жизни (1 Кор 9:24-27; 2 Тим 4:6-8). Все, кто окончит этот забег, получат награду (1 Кор 9:25; Флп

“Todo aquel que lucha, de todo se abstiene; ellos, a la verdad, para recibir una corona corruptible, pero nosotros, una incorruptible” (1 Corintios 9:25). “Prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús” (Filipenses 3:14).

“At ang bawat tao na nakikipaglaban sa mga palaruan ay mapagpigil sa lahat ng mga bagay. Ginagawa nga nila ito upang magsipagtamo ng isang putong na may pagkasira, ngunit tayo’y niyaong walang pagkasira” (1 Cor 9:25). “Nagtutumulin ako sa hangganan sa gantingpala ng dakilang pagtawag ng Diyos na kay Cristo Jesus” (Fil 3:14).

Did Anybody in the Bible Ever Ask God about Everlasting Life? 

February 22, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - seeking God, Total depravity
Some Christian traditions say that God does not hear the prayers of unbelievers. But weren’t there people in the Bible who asked God about everlasting life and, as a result, came to faith in Christ and were born again? A simple survey of the Bible shows that God does hear the prayers of unbelievers and
