David Cloud, Way of Life Literature, and Lordship Salvation

August 20, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - David Cloud, easy believism, Fundamental Baptist, Way of Life
I’ve been doing some research into Independent and Fundamental Baptists (IFB), looking for Free Grace friendly voices. David W. Cloud and his ministry, Way of Life Literature, is an important voice in that movement. I remember purchasing his Way of Life Encyclopedia of the Bible and Christianity as a young man. Here is an article

He Is the Author of Eternal Salvation to All Who Obey Him — Hebrews 5:9

August 17, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Rewards, Eternal Salvation, Hebrews 5:9, Salvation through Obedience
This question just popped into my Inbox: I’ve noticed there are passages in the Bible that appear contradictory. While some passages talk about grace, other passages speak of obedience. I suspect this is the reason for so much confusion among believers. I’m curious what you make of the following passage: “though He was a Son,

One of My Heroes: Simon the Zealot

August 16, 2018 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13; Simon the Zealot; doctrinal dogmatism
Mark tells us the names of the Lord’s original 12 disciples in Mark 3:16-19. Some of them are better known than others. For example, Peter, Matthew, Judas Iscariot, James, and John are better known than the other seven. With about half of them, we basically know nothing other than that their names are included in

What Are We Trying to Accomplish?

August 15, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog
“Martin Luther did not so much set out to reform the church as he did to reform preaching.” ~John T. Pless What is GES trying to accomplish? I appreciate Pless’s quote about Martin Luther’s mission. Luther did not want to start a new church or denomination—he wanted to reform preaching. That’s basically, what we’re trying

The Reformation Had Lordship Salvation and Free Grace

August 14, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Dirk Philips, Free Grace Theology, Hubmaier, Lordship Salvation, Reformation, Scharnschlager
Reformation Commentary on Scripture, New Testament XIII: Hebrews, James. Edited by Ronald K. Rittgers. Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2017. 341 pp. Cloth, $49.99. Free Grace proponents have tried to show that both John Calvin and Martin Luther held to Free Grace Theology. While it is certainly true that we can find quotes from both

John Wesley on Being a Fake Christian

August 13, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Aldersgate, eternal life, John Wesley, methodism, Methodist
Do you know when you were born-again? Some Free Grace people say they were born-again before they believed in Jesus for eternal life. They believe those doctrines now, but they say they were born-again before. How do they know? Usually, based on an experience they had. “I suddenly had a desire to read Scripture, and

Did the Disciples Become Confused About Salvation When Jesus Spoke with the Rich Young Ruler? — Matthew 19:25

August 10, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, evangelism, Matthew 19:25, Salvation
I receive many questions. Most are very good. Most I’ve heard before. But at least once or twice a week I get a question I’ve never heard that is a good one. Today I received a question via email that is both new and extremely challenging. Here is the question: We know the Scriptures tell

Confession and Consequences

August 9, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - 1 John, Confession, fellowship forgiveness
Sin has more than one consequence. On the one hand, it can break or hinder your fellowship with God. On the other hand, it can have consequences for you in this life. The man who gets drunk at work, not only loses his intimacy with God—he can also get fired. And the woman who covets

Upside Down Exegesis

August 8, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Exegesis, Hermeneutics, Matthew 8:12; Luke 8:13; Luke 15:7; James 2:17
Interpreters Sometimes Negate What Was Actually Said In the past year or so I’ve run across four examples where interpreters negate what the text actually says. I think you will find these examples instructive. First, in the first parable of Luke 15, the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Lord speaks in the conclusion of

A Complicated Relationship (John 17)

August 7, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - world
How would you describe the Christian’s relationship to the world? How about this: it’s complicated. In His high priestly prayer, Jesus described our messy relationship to the world. He was speaking about the apostles, but it also applies to us. Jesus said the apostles were given out of the world (v 6), but still in
