Bible Question:
'The Lordship Controversy and the Carnal Christian Teaching (Part 2)' 'Ernest Reisinger' 'Let me give a short review of our last study on the Carnal Christian teaching: '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching is primarily based on an erroneous interpretation of a single passage of Scripture (1 Cor. 3:1-4). '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching perverts many other doctrines of the Christian faith. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching separates the two main doctrines of the Christian faith--justification and sanctification. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching separates the new covenant by making the act of submission to Christ optional--what God has joined together let no man or teaching put asunder. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching makes holiness, obedience and discipleship optional. See John 10:26-28; 14:21-23; 15:10; 1 Pet. 1:155,16; Heb. 12:14; Titus 2:10-14. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching breeds antinomianism and gives a false standard of what a Christian really is. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching is the mother of many of the second-work-of-grace errors. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching actually teaches two ways to heaven: one, the carnal-Christian way and two, the spiritual-Christian way--whichever your prefer. '. The "Carnal Christian" teachers ignore the biblical distinction between the grounds of salvation and the grounds of assurance. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching breeds a false spirituality and Pharisaism in the so-called "spiritual Christians" who have measured up to some man-made standard of spirituality. There ought to be no professed "spiritual Christians," much less "super-spiritual" ones! George Whitefield, a man who lived very close to his Savior, prayed all his days, "Let me begin to be a Christian." And another Christian has truly said, "In the life of the most perfect Christian there is every day renewed occasion for self-abhorrence, for repentance, for renewed application to the blood of Christ, for application of the rekindling of the Holy Spirit." 'Many are comfortable living sinful lives while hiding behind a teaching that is not biblical, comfortably going to hell on a false teaching.' ____________________ The Lordship Controversy and the Carnal Christian Teaching (Part 2) Ernest Reisinger (To whom it may concern: Please do not ask me to explain what Reisinger means.
