Does 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 Describe Conversion or Some Post Conversion Sanctification Experience?
In our discussion here about Lordship Salvation (LS) or biblical or historical salvation and the free grace (FS) presentation, one text mentioned was 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10: For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true […]
The Two Book Approach and English Separatism
Some most trumpeting sola scriptura batter it with the greatest zeal. They pervert doctrine with the ram of a two book approach. They accommodate the academy with integration of the historico-critical, scientific method with the Bible. The two book approach says that God reveals truth in two ways, the first, non-propositional truth injected by God […]
The Most Divisive of All Independent Baptists: Let’s Think about It
Some men are the most interesting men in the world, but someone tagged me with the moniker, “the most divisive of all independent Baptists.” I should be happy, because he called my friend Bobby Mitchell a “lackey” in the same comment. In the spirit of many fundamentalists, he went personal, mean, hateful, and condemnatory […]

Free Grace and Lordship Salvation: Rival Hermeneutics for a Biblical Soteriology
For awhile, I’ve known that even within what some will call independent, fundamental Baptists, there have been several views of salvation and for sure sanctification as well. Many just want to leave it alone, not make a big deal about it, sort of treat the views as welcome inhabitants of a bigger tent as a […]
Lordship Salvation for “Dummies”
As a pejorative, inventors of a new doctrine of salvation have titled what is the historical and biblical plan of salvation, “Lordship salvation.” The terminology doesn’t sound bad to me, so I own it. However, all sorts of garbage have been dumped on it to where it must be defined. One risk is cherry-picked quotes […]
Bible Truths for Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA), part 4–SDA teaching that Satan, not Christ, pays the final penalty for sin, SDA denial that Christ completed the atonement on the cross, SDA affirmation that people must be saved without Christ as Mediator, and SDA affirmation that people can and must become sinless to be saved

Unbiblical Salvation Language, pt. 1
Either Thomas Ross or myself have written “Lordship salvation” related posts in the past and if you want to get caught up on at least what we’ve already posted, then please do [his will be TR and mine KB, both with numbers to differentiate): KB1, KB2, KB3, KB4, KB5, TR1, TR2, TR3. Here are articles […]
Sad Strawman: A Critique of David Cloud’s “Repentance and Lordship Salvation Revisited”
A few months ago, I wrote my first ever public criticism of something by David Cloud to answer his position on the church (pts 1, 2, 3, 4). If you scroll through articles by Cloud, you find a lot of help, including a recent expose’ of Paul Chappell. I try not to get personal with posts, […]
