WHY I’M NOT A CALVINIST (part one): Romans 9
It will help you if you pull out a Bible and turn to and look at Romans 9 as you read this. I tell people I’d like to be a Calvinist but Scripture keeps getting in the way. Romans 9 is one place that gets in the way of my being a Calvinist. If I’m […]
The Pentecostal Doctrine of Faith-Healing and James 5:14-20, part 2
“The prayer of faith”[i] is a specific,[ii] Divinely enabled and energized[iii] petition for healing, for the person to be healed and raised up from his bed of sickness.[iv] As faith is a gift from God (Philippians 1:29; James 1:17-18), so when a particular healing is in the will of God, […]
Who Is Killing Who? The Real Issues in the Trayvon Martin Situation
We don’t want murder. We want to protect life. If the real issue is keeping more people alive, then media and popular culture are missing with their emphasis on the Trayvon Martin death. First, do we want to protect more life, to keep more people alive? Second, are we interested in keeping more black […]
The Lie about the History of One Bible Onlyism
Several weeks ago I was listening to an audio interview (2/20/12) of Kevin Bauder by Scott Oakland, who produces his own online show, called Reformed Cast. Oakland was asking Bauder about his contribution to the book, The Spectrum of Evangelicalism. At only the 12:30 mark of the interview, Oakland asks Bauder to comment on how […]
The Pentecostal Doctrine of Faith-Healing and James 5:14-20, part 1
The Pentecostal and charismatic movement generally claim that healing from sickness is guaranteed to everyone on earth, if he can simply work himself into enough faith. A variety of passages are alleged to prove this unbiblical assertion. James 5:14-15 is, however, perhaps the most plausible. Thus, Pentecostalism appeals to James 5:14-15 to prove that the […]
Judging People to Be Unsaved
The point of church discipline is restoration. It is. We want to reclaim a person who has turned away from the truth in some fashion. When someone has been disciplined from a church, should he be judged to be unsaved? Yes and No. Yes, in that Jesus said in Matthew 18, “let him be unto […]

Writing a Blog ‘Nat
I’ve been blogging since 2005, as you can see in my right hand column. The audience is bigger than ever for those wondering, thinking that it’s probably shrunk. I’ve truly had no strategy for keeping readers, except to keep writing. And I don’t write for the readers. I write whatever it is that I want […]
Reductio Ad Absurdum: Conservative Evangelicalism Meets the Doctrine of Separation pt. 3
This is part three of a series. It would help to have read parts one and two first. ********************* At the beginning of the video that I posted in part one of this series, Todd Friel dialogues with Phil Johnson about a contemporary situation or issue in evangelicalism with a conference called the Elephant Room. […]
The Pagan Worldview of Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism
Sometime Monday, I’ll continue my series Reductio Ad Absurdum: Conservative Evangelicalism Meets the Doctrine of Separation (parts one and two). This brief break is directly related to those posts. ********************* There is only one God. The one God is the Truth and, therefore, there is one truth. These first two statements are foundational to a […]
