14 Reasons not to Ask Jesus into your Heart, part 1 of 3
Since the terminology of asking Christ into one’s heart in order to be saved became popular in the 1950s, many millions of people have asked Jesus into their hearts and thought that they were saved because they did so. Since the clear truth of the gospel of Christ is that sinners become the children of […]

Psalm 12:6–7 and Gender Discordance: the anti-KJV and anti-preservation argument debunked (again)
Psalm 12:6–7 states: The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Opponents of the perfect preservation of Scripture often claim that Psalm 12:6–7 cannot refer to the preservation of […]
Sola Scriptura: Tests
Leaders in the reformed circle like to sola scriptura. I’ve seen the Latin on the front of auditoriums, on the sign, and prominently on the printed material. If you see sola scriptura like that, does that mean the church is sola scriptura? Not usually. There is sola scriptura, which is the historic statement, making the […]
Do Keswick Critics Routinely Misrepresent Keswick Theology? Part 3 of 3
It is possible that Griffith Thomas’s failure to build his doctrine of sanctification from Scripture alone is related to his toleration of weakness on the inspiration of Scripture.

Does DBTS Theological Journal Present a Biblical Theology of Preservation?
In comments about the latest Frontline magazine edition on the Bible version issue, Mike Harding wrote this comment at SharperIron: Just finished reading the articles on preservation in FRONTLINE. Some articles simply asked questions with no definitive answers. I thought the articles had political overtones as opposed to making the case for preservation and what […]
Do Keswick Critics Routinely Misrepresent Keswick Theology? Part 2 of 3
Keswick apologists Price & Randall, discussing J. C. Ryle and J. I. Packer’s critiques of Keswick, join McQuilkin in bringing the standard charge of misrepresentation of Keswick.[1] Again, no actual documentation of misrepresentation is forthcoming. Packer, for instance, is criticized for “misunderstand[ing]”[2] Stephen Barabas’s Keswick work, So Great Salvation, when Packer simply quoted Barabas’s own […]
The Wackiness of Opposition to the Only Possible Biblical and Logical Position on the Preservation of Scripture
A First Post For the sake of full disclosure, there are wacky, wacky supporters of the King James Version with crazy arguments and positions. We have crushed them here. It does kind of remind me of liberals, who lure you into some type of advocacy of a piece of their agenda and then say nothing […]
