I find more precise theological terms are often useful: Orthodox: the traditionally and historically held belief of the church (usually a belief in agreement with the early ecumenical creeds) and in agreement with the teaching of scripture. Heterodox: a belief different from the...

Is there really a large “pro-sin” movement within the church, or is this a solution in search of a non-extant problem?

It is less important to your salvation to understand the TRUTH, than it is essential to reject the lies. Jesus was not JUST a man (as Muslims and some cults claim) … Jesus was also the Lord our God. Romans 10:9-10 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart...

The verse does not speak of judgement or prizes for any person, it is about the judgement of works to see if the works will stand or fall. Other verses speak of the issues that you want to ascribe to that verse, but that verse does not. You are rejecting basic grammar to distort the clear...

A nonsensical understanding of the Doctrines of Grace and beliefs of Reformed Theology and Particular Baptists like myself. We believe that Ephesians 2:8-9 comes BEFORE Ephesians 2:10 for a deliberate reason. Not “grace or works”. Not “works before grace”. “Good Works” are the God ordained...

The Doctrines of Grace are found in scripture as surely as the doctrine of the Trinity is found in scripture. The phrase does not appear.

“God (subject) judges (verb) the works (object)” “God” does the action. “judges” is the action which happens. “Works” (and not people) are what is being judged. God does judge people, however the verse in question EXPLICITLY says NOTHING on that subject. John 3:18 explicitly talks about God...

I think you misunderstood the humor inherent in how Steve Brown teaches/talks. It was intended to be provocative but not literal “three free sins”. It was intended to emphasize the unshakable LOVE of God for His children and the freedom from the perceived need to either earn that love or the...

You are evaluating their actions and accomplishments. You are not evaluating their innate worth as human beings. How can you conflate “what they do” with “who they are”? Why would God make that mistake?

Paul addressed this complaint in Romans 9. You have misunderstood the fallen nature of man and the breath and depth of God’s grace. [Isaiah 53:1 NASB95] 1 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? [Mark 16:16 NASB95] 16 "He who has believed and has been...

Respectfully, it is not I that has ignored what was written. You wrote … So which of your contradictory statements is correct? 1. “How does the Lord know the condition of our heart? By our works.” 2. “The Lord knows the condition of the heart, before the deed is ever done.” For a monergist...

i am a little church(no great cathedral) far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities -i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest, i am not sorry when sun and rain make april my life is the life of the reaper and the sower; my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving...

The LORD is OMNISCIENT. (You really haven't thought this far enough ahead if you think Jesus NEEDS to see your works in order to know your heart. Typical of synergism, you have your role and God's role conflated.)

[Act 11] 11 "And behold, at that moment three men appeared at the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from Caesarea. 12 "The Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. These six brethren also went with me and we entered the man's house. 13 "And he reported to us how he...

Those that hate the Doctrines of Grace, a celebration of the grace (unmerited favor) of a Sovereign God, and demand that salvation be a cooperative venture with God and men as partners (the antithesis of “unmerited favor”).

You just described Total Depravity … man being incapable of choosing to do right even when they know what the right thing to do is, using only the power of HUMAN FREE WILL (which is really a will that has been given the freedom by God to follow its’ dark desires into the sin that it craves). If...

What have I rejected regarding the dangers of backsliding? Please quote me or let your false accusation be shown clearly to all. I have denied no scripture. I only reject opinions that claim to be scripture but are more often eisegesis. My advice is not to make false accusations against the...

Nonsense.

Another failed attempt by those that hate the Doctrines of Grace to explain what the Doctrines of Grace really teach to those that have actually studied them and seen that they affirm what Scripture teaches. Why can’t ANTI-CALVINISTS stick to claiming what they believe rather than mutilating...

You do know that John has been dead a very long time … perhaps it is time to stop pounding nails into his coffin and just compare what the Doctrines of Grace claim with the scriptures that they advocate make those claims. Leave poor John to Rest In Peace (we certainly have).
