In his latest book Dr. John MacArthur gives The GES News backhanded praise when he says that it is “the leading no-lordship fraternity’s [bi]monthly newsletter.” No-lordship is the cumbersome and pejorative label he has given the Free Grace position. Why he doesn’t simply call our position the Free Grace position, the term we use of […]
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Many people interpret the word salvation in this verse to refer to eternal salvation from hell. This, I feel, is improper. Some have interpreted Phil […]
Transformed by His Glory. By Charles C. Ryrie. Wheaton: Victor Press, 1990. 144 pp. Cloth, $12.99. I must admit at the outset that my love and respect for Dr. Ryrie as a man of God—for who he is and for what the Lord has done through him—do not allow me to be objective in reviewing […]

ROBERT N. WILKIN Associate Editor Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society Dallas, Texas I. Introduction When most authors or speakers write or speak about sanctification, they almost always mean progressive (or present) sanctification.1In fact, many of the books and articles on sanctification never even mention past sanctification. One wonders why there is such a neglect […]
Introduction to the Series Over the last year or so a growing number of books and articles has appeared targeting the Free Grace movement for critique and rebuttal. These publications mention the Grace Evangelical Society and its literature. This is a positive development. GES definitely wishes to have its views seriously discussed in the marketplace […]
