Why did John the Baptist and Jesus preach repentance if it was not required to be born again

L. W. has been bothered about the issue of repentance and salvation: I have been seeking and studying a lot as my confusion over the gospel has been taking a huge toll on me in every way. I am deeply confused about repentance. It seems it is required for all people. John the Baptist and […]

Mostrar graça é irresponsável

A história de Ló me lembra a história do filho pródigo. Você se lembrará que Ló era sobrinho de Abraão e seguiu seu tio até a Terra Prometida. Ambos os homens ficaram ricos, tanto que a terra não podia sustentar os dois rebanhos, e seus respectivos vaqueiros estavam se metendo em brigas. Algo tinha que […]

Three words

Большинство религий чрезвычайно сложны, потому что их доктрина вечного спасения через дела зависит от следования замысловатым законам, ритуалам или от выполнения определенного списка дел в надежде вскарабкаться на небеса. В свою очередь, Христианство, основанное на Библии (как доктрина Бесплатной благодати) просто. Почему? Думаю, христианский «долг» можно свести к этим трем словам: 1. Верить. Есть только […]

Do You Obsess Over Your Guilt

“Guilt is universal,” wrote Paul Tournier, a Christian psychiatrist (Tournier, Guilt and Grace, p. 152). And according to him, you can do one of two things with that guilt: you can either repress it or recognize it. Repressing your guilt “leads to anger, rebellion, fear and anxiety, a deadening of conscience, an increasing inability to […]

What are the most important issues in Free Grace Theology

A friend sent me a copy of a 2009 booklet by Fred Chay titled The Glorious Grace of God: Understanding Free Grace Theology. I found myself agreeing with much of what he wrote. But I also found several issues that I disagreed with. I believe discussing his booklet helps clarify areas of agreement and disagreement […]

¿Estaba hablando Pablo del Arrebatamiento cuando dijo que el Día del Señor viene así como ladrón en la noche?

Porque vosotros sabéis perfectamente que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón en la noche. Así como ladrón en la noche Esta expresión sólo aparece tres veces en el Nuevo Testamento: Mt 24:43; 1 Tes 5:2; and 2 Pe 3:10. Pablo y Pedro recibieron esta expresión de la enseñanza del Señor en el Sermón […]

Datapuwa’t kung tayo’y nangamatay na kalakip ni Cristo, ay naniniwala tayo na mangabubuhay naman tayong kalakip niya; Na nalalaman nating si Cristo na nangabuhay na maguli sa mga patay ay hindi na mamamatay; ang kamataya’y hindi naghahari sa kaniya. Sapagka’t ang kamatayan na ikinamatay niya, ay kaniyang ikinamatay na minsan sa kasalanan: datapuwa’t ang buhay […]

Доказательство

В английском языке есть пословица: «Сделать работу наполовину, это все равно что не сделать её вовсе». Вы когда-нибудь чувствовали себя, как-будто Вы неудачник в Вашем служении Богу? Вы когда-нибудь считали, сколько времени Вы потратили зря и сколько всего оставили не сделанным? Размышляли ли Вы о том, как это могло повлиять на Вашу вечную позицию перед […]

Do all believers follow Christ in their daily experience, and is it impossible for a believer to fall away

We’ve been considering a question J. H. asked about believers and perseverance (see here). In part 1, we considered his general question. Then in part 2, we looked at three of seven verses he asked about. In part 3, we will look at two other verses he asked about, both from John 10. John 10:4. […]
