The Feel-Good Gospel

April 8, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Feel-good gospel, Free Grace Theology, John MacArthur, Lordship Salvation, The Gospel According to Jesus
The following is adapted from one section of Chapter 1 of my book A Gospel of Doubt, a response to Dr. John MacArthur’s book The Gospel According to Jesus. The first chapter of the third edition of John MacArthur’s The Gospel According to Jesus is entitled, “Follow Me.” It is a new chapter which was

Chuck Swindoll Defends Easy Believism

March 5, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - easy believism, Free Grace, Lordship Salvation
Recently I blogged about Chuck Swindoll defending the faith-alone message, and specifically rejecting the Lordship Salvation message, in a Jan 7, 2019, Insight for Living Broadcast. See that blog here. I received an email today notifying me that Chuck again rejected Lordship Salvation, this time in more detail. He did so on the Feb 22,

Is Lordship Salvation a Saving Message?

February 7, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - assurance is of the essence of saving faith, Lordship Salvation
While working on my autobiography, I wrote about the early years of GES. During that time some of my board members believed that Lordship Salvation is a saving message. Don’t misunderstand me. They were against Lordship Salvation. They felt it was false teaching. However, they believed that Lordship Salvation was a problem for sanctification, not

Faith Alone Saves, But the Faith That Saves Is Never Alone—A Dangerous Contradiction?

January 10, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, Lordship Salvation, saving faith, The faith that saves is never alone, Wayne Grudem
I received an email pointing me to a video by Dr. Wayne Grudem entitled, “Salvation without Repentance from Sin: A Critique of the Free Grace Gospel.” You can see that 45-minute video here. I’ve written a book responding to Dr. Grudem’s book Free Grace Theology: 5 Ways It Diminishes the Gospel. So I won’t cover

More Questions about Saving Faith

July 30, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, Eternal Security, Faith, Lordship Salvation, saving faith
In response to a recent blog entitled, “What Does It Mean to Believe in Jesus?” (see here), a reader asked three excellent questions. Here are his questions: If I understand correctly, you’re saying a person can believe many things about Jesus Christ, including that He’s the only Son of God, yet not have eternal life.

Did Zane Hodges Believe That Saving Faith Is Intellectual Assent?

July 11, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Faith, Lordship Salvation, saving faith, Wayne Grudem, Zane Hodges
As I mentioned in an earlier blog (see here), Dave Anderson argues in the book A Defense of Free Grace Theology that Wayne Grudem’s view of saving faith is essentially that of nearly all Free Grace advocates. Anderson even goes so far as to suggest that Zane Hodges agreed with Grudem’s view. Zane Hodges was

Might a Fuzzy View of Faith Lead to a Lack of Assurance?

July 9, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance, Faith, Lordship Salvation, saving faith, Wayne Grudem
Yesterday I received an email from a Free Grace Pastor who likes our writings. He indicated that he was concerned about some things he read in the book A Defense of Free Grace Theology, edited by Dr. Fred Chay, with contributions by Ken Wilson, Paul Tanner, Dave Anderson, Jody Dillow, and Chay. Here is what

C. S. Lewis Said Repentance Is a Condition for Everlasting Life

May 7, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, Lordship Salvation, Repentance, turning from sins
The following question came today via email from a friend: I know that you (and presumably everyone at GES) do not believe that repentance is “necessary” for salvation. I have several of Zane Hodges’ books on free grace, and he appears to hold this view mainly based on his understanding of the Biblical meaning of

If Trust Is Not a Good Word for Faith, What Is?

April 6, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - belief, evangelism, Lordship Salvation, Trust, Wayne Grudem
I received a handwritten letter (yes, some people still do that!) asking the question which is the title of this blog. The question concerned a November-December 2017 Grace in Focus magazine article by Bill Fiess and me entitled, “Saving Faith Is Not Heartfelt Trust.” The article was not discussing trust per se, but heartfelt trust.
