To the Degree an individual has a testimony that Man Helps God, then that is the Degree to which they are Palagian.

Is this true?

To What Degree do you believe a lost soul Assists God in their "Salvation"?

Sin Laid on Jesus by C. H. Spurgeon

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Read the sermon and leave your comments, if you have any... Brother Glen

On another thread I stated that aborted children are sinners by nature and face the wages of sin. But at the same time I do not believe aborted children have committed sins (sinful acts).

@AustinC believes this is the heresy called Pelagianism.

Having studied theology I know it is not, but wanted to give him a forum to learn. But I have studied this in depth as a graduate student and have no interest in studying it again with @AustinC .

I will say that the belief all men ate sinners...

In my discussions with many on the forum, I have encountered contradictions against my beliefs from Calvinists and those who teach Lordship Salvation, because I believe in Free Grace Theology. So, I want to know exactly which members of the forum believe the same thing as me, so that we can discuss theology without conflict.

Although I believe in Free Grace Theology, my denomination is Baptist. There are many Baptists who believe in Free Grace Theology, though I could be wrong. And if I'm...

Most Baptists will agree that a female should not be a pastor.
Many Baptists will believe that a female should not teach a mens class

BUT

how about a woman who writes a SS lesson, but taught by a man.
Would you find that to be acceptable?

Why or why not?

The meaning of the word “bought” in 2 Peter 2:1 is arguably quite ambiguous. When we look at the context of the verse, it seems likely that the word “bought” does not refer to Jesus purchasing salvation, but rather to a general deliverance from the idolatry of the world.

This is supported by Peter’s later statement in verse 20 that these people who were “bought” have “escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” It is certainly possible to...

Hi Everyone,

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Apoc 19:7-9)

This really is a continuation of the thread titled the “Rapture Question”. I want to focus on the meaning of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. In the thread “Rapture Question”, I spoke a lot about two doctrines: The Communion of Saints and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb both as being on earth and in heaven at the same time. The Catholic Church believes the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I thought...

What was Christ asking of the Father?

All views agree that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are God.

The disagreement is over the Eternal Sonship.

Two of the three views hold to Eternal Sonship.

Two of the three views deny the concept of the Son being Eternally "begotten."

After reading some of a commentary on Romans by Zane Hodges, I began to have more confidence in the Free Grace Position, but I did not know that GES, which teaches Free Grace Theology, if I am correct, (I may be wrong), does not believe in Penal Substitutionary Atonement. First, I don't want to misrepresent them. I would love to believe and learn more of their teaching, why I bought a number of their books. But after looking a certain article they wrote, I found something, (which I may have...
