Free Grace for Baptists

January 1, 2014 by Shawn Lazar in Grace in Focus Articles
Introduction Some Baptists identify as Arminian, others as Calvinist, and a few as Calminian. But there are many more Baptists who avoid each of these labels without having a name for what they believe. I would suggest that some are Free Grace without knowing it. Free Grace is a relatively new term but the theology

How Replacement Theology Distorted Christian Thought

January 1, 2014 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ronald E. Diprose Christian Anti-Judaism The contempt for Israel and its institutions evident in early Christian writings such as the pseudonymous Epistle of Barnabas gradually turned to hate when it became clear that the Jewish people, theoretically disinherited by God, had not vanished from the scene. Two examples will suffice to show just how

They Will See His Face — Revelation 22:4

January 1, 2014 by Bill Fiess in Grace in Focus Articles
And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads (Rev 22:3-4). In the OT, to see the face of the king refers to having access

Did Jesus Come to Save Us from Our Sins Or in Our Sins?

January 1, 2014 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
The Objection Raised You’ve probably heard this objection before. You’re talking with someone about the grace of God and the free gift of everlasting life and they become heated. You might even sense some anger in them. They say something like this, “Jesus did not come to save us in our sins! He came to

God’s Sovereignty and Man’s Free Will: Another Look

January 1, 2014 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ron Rosso Paul tells us, “…there is none who seeks after God” (Rom 3:11), and Jesus said, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent me draws him…” (John 6:44). So at least this much is certain. If any do end up seeking God, He by some means aroused their heart

Eating Jesus’ Flesh and Drinking His Blood?

January 1, 2014 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
The Present Possession of Eternal Life Is One Aspect of Jesus’ Words of Life In John 6:26ff, the Lord has an extended conversation with a large crowd of Jews. Some of the things Jesus says are easy to understand. He says that it is the will of the Father that all who believe in Him

The Majority Is Not Necessarily Right

January 1, 2014 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Alfy Austin Having grown up in a church where grace was preached, it was natural for Mary to believe one is saved by faith alone in Christ alone. As she got older she became aware that not everyone shared that understanding of the gospel. As Mary’s awareness grew, it became clear that the Free

Faith Is Just Believing

January 1, 2014 by Art Farstad in Grace in Focus Articles
Near the beginning of Sir Walter Scott’s classic novel Ivanhoe, the fool Wamba discusses the difference between good old AngloSaxon words (like swine and sheep) and the (then) new-fangled French words (like pork and mutton) that had been making headway in England since the Norman conquest of 1066. Many centuries later we still use Wamba’s
