Негибкое богословие
Наш друг семьи недавно начала работать на христианское служение, деятельность которого сосредоточено на молодежи. Она сказал им, что верит в евангелие благодати и что ей нравится служение GES. Данное молодежное служение утверждает, что оно согласно с библейским учением о благодати. Но наш друг заметила, что в некоторых аспектах у них нет ясного понимания, что такое […]
Teología inflexible
Recientemente, una amiga de la familia comenzó a trabajar con un ministerio cristiano centrado en los jóvenes. Ella les dijo que cree en el evangelio de la gracia y que disfruta del ministerio de GES. El ministerio juvenil afirma estar de acuerdo con la enseñanza de la Biblia respecto a la gracia. Pero nuestra amiga […]
TEOLOHIYANG HINDI NABABALUKTOT
Isang kaibigan ng pamilya ang kamakaila’y nagsimulang magtrabaho sa isang Cristianong ministry na nakatuon sa mga Kabataan. Sinabi niya sa kanilang naniniwala siya sa evangelio ng biyaya at nasisiyahan siya sa ministri ng GES. Hinayag ng ministri sa mga kabataang sang-ayon sila sa turo ng Biblia patungkol sa biyaya. Ngunit napansin ng aming kaibigang sa […]
Portland, Oregon, Regional Conference
GES conducted a regional conference April 5-7, at the First Baptist Church of Portland, OR. The theme was “Christ, the Righteous Rewarder.” As the title indicates, we discussed what the NT has to say about rewards for the faithful believer. There were three speakers at the conference: Dave Janssen, Kathryn Wright, and me (Ken Yates). […]
Una teologia intransigente
Recentemente, un’amica di famiglia ha iniziato a lavorare con un ministero cristiano che si dedica ai giovani. Ha detto loro che crede nel Vangelo della grazia e che ammira il ministero GES (Grace Evangelical Society). Questo ministero della gioventù sostiene di essere d’accordo con l’insegnamento biblico sulla grazia, ma la nostra amica ha notato che […]
Different Voices in the Crowd
When someone in the NT speaks to a crowd, who do you think is in that crowd? For example, when Paul, in the Book of Acts, speaks in a synagogue over a period of weeks, do some of the people come to faith over time, or do they all remain unbelievers and eventually run him […]
A Perversion of Grace (Ephesians 2:8-9)
One of the greatest NT passages about grace is Eph 2:8-9. In these verses, Paul says that we have been saved by grace. It is all through faith–a person’s believing in Jesus Christ for eternal life. It was a gift of God. Paul specifically says that works played no part whatsoever in it. As a […]
L’arroganza della Signoria della Salvezza (2 Corinzi 13:5)
Recentemente, ho ascoltato un sermone di un esponente della Signoria della Salvezza. Il suo nome non è importante, perché quello che ha detto vale per qualsiasi promotore di questa teologia che predichi sul tema della salvezza eterna. Probabilmente, avrete sentito le stesse cose che ho sentito io, anche se dette in modi diversi. In questo […]
Sin and the Fear of Hell
Those who oppose Free Grace Theology often say that it does not emphasize the sinfulness of the unbeliever in an acceptable way. We are told that when we evangelize, it is not enough to tell unbelievers that Jesus offers them eternal life if they will believe in Him for it. The unbeliever must first “admit […]
The Arrogance of Lordship Salvation (2 Corinthians 13:5)
I recently heard a sermon by a proponent of Lordship Salvation. His name is not important because what he said applies to any proponent of that theology who speaks on the topic of eternal salvation. You have probably heard the same things I heard in this sermon, even if they were stated in different ways. […]
