Subject: God's Forgiveness of Sin |
Bible Note: Eagle: Length forgiven, but it was not a very well-thought out article. Why? Because the argument over whether there are differing rewards in heaven is completely different from the argument of whether one who continues in a state of unrepentance is truly saved in the first place. This article jumbles these two arguments up and presents no Scriptural support that individuals can "accept Jesus" as their Savior and continue to reject Him as Lord. Incidentally, while that view is certainly held by Ryrie and Hodges (ugh!) as well as many on the Dallas Theological Seminary faculty (which published "The Bible Knowledge Commentary"), it is a view that Barnhouse soundly rejected and John MacArthur refutes in many excellent books. I think it would have been nice to connect the endnotes you list here to actual things being said, because many of the folks here actually disagree with what is in the article itself. Lastly, the thing that disturbs me about this antinomian view the most is that by necessity it must ignore the clear-as-crystal teachings of our Savior on the fact that there are some who claim to be saved but aren't. There are those who will be saying "Lord, Lord" and Jesus will be telling them to go away. There are tares among the wheat, goats among the sheep, unprofitable "servants" that will be cast into the outer darkness with much weeping and gnashing of teeth. WHile we are not saved by works, divorcing the earthly, progressive sanctification of the believer from his true justification is completely and totally unbiblical. --Joe! |
