Worldliness Is a Gospel Issue (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Scripture shows worldliness as a gospel issue. When someone repents, he leaves the world system for a heavenly one. When salvation presents itself to someone, a worldly heart, which cares more about the accoutrements of this present world than the realities of the next one, the one of God, the […]
An Aside on the Two-Tier Salvation Problem
I am writing this post as an aside from the series – “The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification” – and especially part 8, which showed how this corrupted the gospel in all of evangelicalism. The series has 8 parts so far: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part […]
The Most Serious Issue in the World Treated Like a Non-Issue
Sin or Salvation Everywhere I preach, which right now is Matthew on Sunday morning, Isaiah on Sunday night, and Revelation on Wednesday evening, I’m reminded of what is most serious. Jesus took it very seriously, but according to many measures, people around the world don’t take it seriously. To start, it’s hard to get people’s […]
The Historical and Biblical Outlier of Wesleyan Salvation and Sanctification (Part 2)
Part One John Wesley came along in the history of England in and under the authority of the Church of England (COE), which represented and preached a false gospel, hence a damning one too. False gospels don’t change lives and conform people to the image of the Son, so it results in all the evidence […]
Hyper-Dispensationalism: A Dangerous Perversion of Dispensationalism
Explaining Dispensationalism Versus Hyper-Dispensationalism Dispensationalism and Hyper-Dispensationalism Opponents of a grammatical-historical interpretation of scripture, the desert island approach, originalism, also called “premillennialism,” will, either purposefully or not, characterize hyper-dispensationalism as what is dispensationalism. I’m saying, they equate hyper-dispensationalism with dispensationalism. I have not found that most critics of dispensationalism even understand dispensationalism. If they do, […]
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.
