Colossians 1:24: The Place of Suffering in Ministry and Sanctification of Others
Epistle to the Colossians The Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the first century Christian, as you know, all suffered. Greatly. It was their way of life, enduring a lot of opposition, hardship, and physical persecution. Jesus, as you remember, said to expect it. They hated me, so they’ll hate you. This is also what […]
Why “Identifying the True God” Is a Major, If Not Most Important, Factor in Salvation or Conversion
The Claims of Religious Leaders on a Doctrine of Mere Identification Rabbis, imams or ulamas, and priests (particularly Catholic priests) from non-Protestant or non-evangelical Christian religions often critique the Protestant/evangelical doctrine of salvation by grace alone — especially the popular evangelical emphasis on “accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior” or simply believing in Jesus […]
Addressing the Twisted, False Stated Position on “the Chosen People” by Tucker Carlson (Part Two)
Part One Tucker Carlson and the Chosen People Tucker characterizes the belief of Israel being the chosen people as “God loves people more because of their DNA.” He says that’s wrong. That’s not what “the chosen people” itself means though, that God looks at someone’s DNA and rewards it. Israel was not chosen because of […]
The Relationship Between “Lordship Salvation” and Repentance
Lordship Salvation Language “Lordship salvation” is a regrettable title of a doctrine, as if there is eternal salvation without the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The rise and spread of no-Lordship salvation is actually the significant bad development. Someone will say, including concerning me, “he is Lordship salvation” or “he believes Lordship salvation.” Then that person […]
How Does Someone Receive the Gift of Faith That Saves? (part three)
Part One Part Two Saving Grace Appearing to All Men Paul writes to Titus in a letter, an epistle, a Gentile man converted through evangelism in the Gentile region of Crete, a pagan island in the Mediterranean Sea, in Titus 2:11: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. […]
Crucial to a Gospel Presentation: Explain Belief (part five)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Explaining Belief In my experience, which includes a very large sample size over several decades now, people can understand a biblical explanation of belief. I say to a person, “Jesus did everything that needed to be done for you to be saved, but how […]
Crucial to a Gospel Presentation: Explain Belief (part three)
Part One Part Two Jesus is the Christ John wrote his gospel, he says, so people would believe Jesus is the Christ and believing they would have life through His name (John 20:31). The object of belief is crucial to saving faith. I like to say that you might believe in Jesus, but if […]
Crucial to a Gospel Presentation: Explain Belief (part two)
Part One Rampant Corruption of Belief Belief is a very malleable concept. It’s easy to manipulate by people. Churches and their leaders can offer the results of belief for something less and far less than belief. They evoke the promises of God for those who believe, yet without the actual believing. Nothing could be of […]
Crucial to a Gospel Presentation: Explain Belief
What Happens Today I went canvassing for three hours. Most of time, I go out preaching, but for various reasons, I canvassed. Nevertheless, I preached the gospel to an 80 year old woman, who did not know it. I was putting a packet on her door, and there she stood looking at me, so I […]
The Sinner’s Prayer Absent From Evangelism in Church History
Is the sinner’s prayer a methodology for evangelism present in the overwhelming majority of church history? No. Some time ago I read Dr. Paul Chitwood’s 2001 Ph. D. dissertation The Sinners Prayer: A Historical and Theological Analysis (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2001). It is a valuable historical analysis of the development of the evangelistic methodology […]
