Gentlemen:

I have spent the better part of seven months dealing with the strange teachings that originated with Zane Hodges.

At the outset (Ed will know this) everyone should understand that there are two very different factions in the Free Grace community. One would be sympathetic to Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin and the Grace Evangelical Society (GES). They have introduced an interpretation of the Gospel that has come to be known as the “Crossless” gospel in the Free Grace (FG) community. This “Crossless” theology has been the reason and cause of division and offence (Rom. 16:17) in the FG community.

The other branch, which rejects “Crossless” theology, has no definite fellowship they might call home like the “Crossless” gospel advocates find the GES their home. Many of those who reject the “Crossless” gospel, however, are comfortable with the Free Grace Alliance (FGA). There are, however, some in the FGA who hold to the “Crossless” interpretation of the Gospel. That is unfortunate because they have introduced their divisive teaching into the FGA.

Anyway, at my blog you will find many articles on this controversy over the teachings of Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin, Jeremy Myers and the GES.

The Hodges no repentance for salvation position is wrong.

They also believe a lost man can be born again apart from any knowledge, understanding or belief in Jesus, His deity and/or His finished work on the cross.

They believe a lost man can consciously/openly reject the deity of Jesus Christ and still be born again.

They believe the Lord’s titles, “the Christ” and “Son of God” do not mean or indicate His deity.

You can read more about this at my blog, In Defense of the Gospel.

You have done alot of work on the subject. Thanks for the link. I have already read many pages of it. I will give feed back in a few days. My busy time is about to start.

I just wonder why we can't believe what Scripture says on this matter. It couldn't be any more plain:

and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

Here's the question. Now what was the answer:

They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

To add anything to this answer is outside of the realm of what "Scripture" says on the position of receiving everlasting life.

For by grace you have been saved through faith;

Again this couldn't be any more plain.

Worthwhile Thread

To All:

This may seem somewhat self-serving, but please bear with me.

I posted an article at my site titled, What is the "Crossless" Advocates Stance on...

IMO, you will find the article helpful, but I want each of you to read through the thread. There are several comments there that are extremely helpful and pertinent.

Thanks,

LM

To All:

I have developed an article in the aftermath of a series where I discuss the biblical response to the teachers of the "Crossless" gospel.
