Please Stop
“Please Stop” is going to be a periodic series of posts in which I talk about things that I wish would stop. I’ll get back to my series about second blessing theology later. My family and I are on vacation. “Please Stop” could apply to a lot of different areas, but I’m mainly going to […]

Is It That You’re Really Missing Something? Forms of Second Blessing Theology, pt. 2
At the moment of one’s conversion, simultaneous with his justification, someone receives in that instance everything he needs to live the Christian life. Every genuine believer is a have. There are no have-nots. Nothing more is necessary than what he already possesses from that moment on. In order. 1 Corinthians 1:4-7: 4 I thank my […]
Is It That You’re Really Missing Something? Forms of Second Blessing Theology
When I was in college, because of what I heard in chapels, special meetings, and other assemblies, it occurred to me that I might be missing something that I needed to be a success in the Christian life. Sure I was saved. That was by grace through faith. But being saved was not enough to […]

Who Can Say Who’s Wrong?
A confluence of one nationally renowned event and then a personal one got me thinking about the question: “who can say who’s wrong?” Rather than attempt to describe the former, here’s the first paragraph of a breathtaking Los Angeles Times article on it: Brendan Eich’s 10-day reign as CEO of Mozilla, developer of the popular Firefox […]
The Historic Baptist Doctrine of Receiving Christ as both Savior and Lord and the So-Called Lordship Salvation, or the So-Called Free Grace Gospel
What have Baptists historically believed about how a sinner receives the gospel? Have they thought that repentance and faith involve turning from sin to Christ and receiving Him as both Lord and Savior, or have they believed that one receives Him first as a Savior from the penalty of sin alone, only becoming free from the power […]
What Gospel Did Jesus Say to Preach as Part of the Great Commission?
Can we agree that the Great Commission at least includes preaching the gospel? In John 20, Jesus said that He sent us as the Father sent Him to do something. There is the assumption that you know what the Father sent Jesus to do. In Mark 16, Jesus commanded to preach the gospel to every […]
A Major Part of What’s Wrong with Fundamentalism (and Evangelicalism)
I want to allow this post to stand, but my heart felt apologies to the man whose name I thought was Paul J., because I was told that the quote below was his. I was wrong not to have made sure. He may not even know his name was up for 2-3 hours. I’ve removed […]
Preaching the Gospel to New Evangelicals?
In one of our Word of Truth conferences, for the panel discussion someone asked a question about evangelizing new evangelicals. Recently on a blog forum, out of the blue, someone criticized that question as strange enough that he stopped listening anymore, even though he thought the answer wasn’t bad. Why would anyone ask about evangelizing […]
