    No Lutzer does not preach this, but the book I mentioned he may. I do not know and why I will be reading it, for he may lean in that direction. Who is Enns?

    First...may I ask you Evan since you have identifyed yourself as Reformed, allow me pose some quantifing questions.

    1. Are you an Absolutist?
    2. Your position on Lordship salvation
    3. Your position on Fullerism?

    Note, I'm not here to be critical...I just wanta understand your mindset and prospective.

    Thanks

    Paul Enns serves as a prof and director of the Tampa Extension, Southeastern Baptist Seminary. He was one of the translators for the updated NASB. He taught at Northwestern College and at Dallas and Talbot Theological Seminaries. He authored The Moody Handbook of Theology - that's were I got his bio.

    Think that MOST of the reformed would abide by Lordship salvation though, as that view dovetails into the perservation of the saints, as the life style would confirm and show off the legit salvation to them!

    I agree…depending on how one defines Lordship. This is not unique to the Reformed. The hard part comes in with Lordship Salvation. I have seen it presented as submitting all areas of your life to Christ as Lord in order to be saved - which is debatable (there are carnal Christians in the NT). Is Lordship a submission, i.e., belief, which results in a greater Lordship - or do we conform to Christ and are then saved. It depends on how you define Lordship.

    well, cannot be confirming to omage of jesus in order to ern/merit salvation, that smacks of Church of rome infusion of grace stuff!
    Would see it as having desire and bent from the Holy spirit to have Him mature us into more of being like Jesus by His work in and thru as we submit and yield to Him, not us working it up ourselves!
