Роль Христа в нашем спасении. Часть 1.
Доктрина спасения, также известная как сотериология (от греческого слова, обозначающего спасение – sōtēria), обычно делится на 5-10 главных категорий. Почти что все темы сотериологии начинаются с Личности Христа и спасительного труда Христа. Я решил поделить мои блоги по сотериологии на Личность Христа, труд Христа, обещание Христа и проповедование Христа. В первой части мы рассмотрим роль […]
El papel de Cristo en nuestra salvación, parte 1
La doctrina de la salvación, también conocida como soteriología (de la palabra griega para salvación, sōtēria), típicamente se divide entre cinco y diez categorías principales. Casi todos los tratados de soteriología comienzan con la Persona de Cristo y la obra de Cristo. He optado por dividir mis artículos de blog sobre soteriología de la siguiente […]
Warum die meisten Calvinisten keine Heilsgewissheit haben
Ich erhielt kürzlich eine Frage zu einem Buch eines calvinistischen Autors namens Dean Inserra. Das führte zu einer Internetrecherche, und ich stieß auf ein Buch von ihm aus dem Jahr 2020, das von Moody Publishers veröffentlicht wurde und den Titel „Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God“ [Ohne Zweifel: […]
Uneducated and Untrained Men (Acts 4:13)
By Bob Wilkin Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. –Acts 4:3 Education in the first century was far different from what it is today. Children of the rich were taught how […]
H. A. Ironside (1876-1951)
By Bob Wilkin Henry (Harry) Allan Ironside was born on October 14, 1876, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Interestingly, Ironside quit school after eighth grade and never had any further formal education. Yet he authored more than twenty books.

Apocalisse 21:8 insegna che i non credenti saranno nel lago di fuoco a causa dei loro peccati?
Jeff ci fa una domanda relativa ad un articolo recente intitolato, “Dove ha detto Chafer: non abbiamo un problema col peccato, ma un problema col Figlio?” Jeff ci scrive: Tuttavia, Apocalisse 21:8 sembra contraddire quel tipo di pensiero e rende il suo modo di dire [i non credenti non hanno un problema col peccato, ma […]
Another Follow-up Question on Matthew 16:16-19 Binding and Loosing
Brad asks a great question about a recent blog on binding and loosing (see here and the follow up, here): Good blog! One question, though. The church was nowhere in sight (it was still a secret) when Jesus spoke those words to Peter. The word translated church could be translated gathering or assembly. It was […]
Current Issues in Salvation, Part 3: Changing Saving Faith into Saving Work
Many schools and pastors teach that saving faith is not mere persuasion. They call that easy believism or cheap grace. Many teach that saving faith includes turning from sins, surrender, commitment to serve Christ, and even perseverance in obedience that must follow the commitment. The words “whoever believes in Him” in John 3:16 thus become […]
Current Issues in Salvation, Part 2: Various Rejections of ECT
Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT) is the teaching of Scripture (cf. John 3:14-18; Heb 9:27; Rev 14:11; 20:15). However, many schools and many pastors are now rejecting ECT in light of various other views. Those other views include universalism (everyone will eventually be saved), conditional immortality (= annihilationism), and unconscious torment (like an eternal coma). Back […]
Current Issues in Salvation, Part 1: Assurance As Degrees of Confidence, Not Certainty
Introduction The Evangelical world today is quite diverse on many issues, including the doctrine of salvation. There is much confusion about what a person must do to be saved. Pastors and theologians are not always theological safe spaces. Though well intentioned, they mislead many on a number of fundamental truths. There are many such issues. […]
