Ambiguity and Utility: Fundamentals of Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism
To keep evangelical and fundamentalist alliances, beliefs must be rendered ambiguous. In the consideration of what is certain, decisions are made based on utilitarian means. Ambiguity and utility are new doctrines. Scripture doesn’t teach them. You won’t find them in the history of Christian doctrine, but today they have become necessities. The Bible reveals certainty […]
Repentance Defended Against Antinomian Heresy: A Brief Defense of the Indubitable Biblical Fact that Repentance is a Change of Mind that Always Results in a Change of Action, part 4
Appendix: The RAC Position as Historic Baptist Doctrine The testimony of all of Baptist history favors the fact that repentance is a change of mind that always results in a change of action (the RAC). The RNC doctrine that repentance may not always result in a change has infiltrated Baptist churches largely as a result […]

Fundamentalism, Separation, Charismatics, and Northland
Before we get into the post, I want to do some housecleaning here. Four things. First, our book, A Pure Church, is to the printer, final proofs approved now for over a week. You can still get a pre-publication price here (less for multiple copies). It’s a good book, worth reading and owning. Second, we […]
The Path to Postmodern Subjectivity Comes Through Fear, Pragmatism, and, Yes, Covenant Theology
Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism are usually presented as two conservative approaches to interpretation of the Bible. Let me give you the cliffs notes on the subject. We’ve got the New Testament, inspired by God. What God said is the only right way. That way was persecuted severely by the Roman empire. Doctrine changed out of […]
Repentance Defended Against Antinomian Heresy: A Brief Defense of the Indubitable Biblical Fact that Repentance is a Change of Mind that Always Results in a Change of Action, part 3
Advocates of the RNC (the view that repentance does not always result in a change of action), in light of the overwhelming case against them from the lexica and from the uses of metanoeo and metanoia in the New Testament, make several arguments for their position that they hope will overturn the crushing weight of […]
Lure Them In, pt. 5
Gospel-centeredness and my “lure them in” series dovetailed in my mind on Tuesday this week after my Monday post. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, not a means to lure. So how could the gospel relate to luring them in? The popular discussion concerns whether you’re center bound (gospel centered) or boundary driven. I […]
Gospel-Centeredness and Moralism
We got into a little bit of a discussion about gospel-centered preaching here in the comment section in the previous few weeks, but thoughts about gospel-centeredness have crossed my mind a lot recently. And then my family and I were on vacation last week where we usually go and attended the church we usually attend […]
Repentance Defended Against Antinomian Heresy: A Brief Defense of the Indubitable Biblical Fact that Repentance is a Change of Mind that Always Results in a Change of Action, part 2
New Testament usage provides crystal-clear evidence for repentance as a change of mind that results in a change of action. Consider the following representative texts with metanoeo: Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a […]
