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 […]

Saved Without a Doubt: How to Be Sure of Your Salvation. John MacArthur, Jr. Wheaton: Victor Books, 1992. 187 pp. Paper, $7.99. John MacArthur claims to publish this book out of a pastoral concern for those in the churches who lack assurance of salvation. It is out of the same pastoral concern that I would […]

The Scriptures are clear that to be a disciple in the fullest sense of the term means that a person must pay a price. There is no view of discipleship which would disagree with this […]
Are Blacks Spiritually Inferior To Whites? The Dispelling of an American Myth. By Anthony T. Evans. Wenonah, NJ: Renaissance Productions, 1992. 158 pp. Paper, $7.95.

I. Introduction On the wall of my in-house office/library hangs a reproduction of a famous Christian painting. It has dramatic lighting—an almost theatrical triangle of light surrounded by great darkness. In the picture the dead body of our Lord is being taken down from the Cross by the loving hands of Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, […]

This is an excerpt of a review from the Spring 1991 issue of the Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society (pp.69-71). No one who reads Eternal Security can doubt for a moment the writer’s deep conviction that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone.
