    Pelagianism – Works Versus The Gospel Of Grace

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,111 views

    There are many within Christianity who may unknowingly deny God’s free and eternal gift of salvation by requiring a well-meaning, but a misdirected emphasis on adhering to the Law.

    There is a belief, known as Pelagianism, that has lingered in the church for over 1600 years, which does not accept that the sinful condition of humankind was inherited from Adam and Eve in the Fall (Genesis 3). It is the belief that motivated the ministry of Charles Finney, who is known as the ...read more

    Salvation: Free From And Free To

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 3,899 views

    Does what I do save me? Do I have to finish what God started? If I’m saved, should I sin even more so I can experience even more of God’s grace? To all these questions, Paul answered a huge and powerful, “NO!”

    Intro Context is king when it comes to meaning. For someone to understand what someone else has said, he must first understand the setting. If someone doesn’t account for what was taking place when something was said, the conclusions he will come to will often reflect more about himself ...read more

    It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

    As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Heard about a man having a dream one night that he and the Lord was watching a baseball game. The Lord's ...read more
