    Razor-Sharp

    September 4, 2023 /

    The following statement was written for a social media post: Hyper-Calvinism is to sovereign grace, what a razor-sharp edge is to a blade; those who nurture lower views of grace wield a blunted gospel.

    A Meaningful Discussion Between Moderate And Hyper Calvinists

    August 28, 2023 /

    Many followers of Andrew Fuller believe the fundamental error of Hyper Calvinism revolves around an imbalance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.  Many followers of John Gill believe the fundamental error of Moderate Calvinism (Fullerism) revolves around their distinction between the covenant of redemption and the covenant of grace.  The Moderate Calvinist believes unregenerate sinners are responsible to savingly believe on Christ under a conditional covenant of grace, and that regenerate sinners are responsible to  obey the heart law once they have been born again.  The Hyper Calvinist believes unregenerate sinners are responsible to obey the heart law under the authority of the covenant of works, and that regenerate sinners are responsible (privileged) to savingly believe on Christ under the authority of the unconditional covenant…

    Mark you; many of our fine so-called ministers talk about offering salvation: and men refusing: they might as well go to the farthest and of the coal pit, and command the coal to rise up, and walk out of itself. God says, “I will bring them;” and that not part of the way merely; no: but through the fire, and try them; purify them: put a living, crying soul into them: and answer them in the joy of their hearts: so that they shall say, “the Lord is my God; and I will say they are my people.” W. Skelton: “Such are the notions [misinterpreting the scriptures] of Wesleyans, Fullerites, Mongrel Calvinists, and Modem Baptists.” W. Tant: “All the efforts of man—all the strategems of…

    Divine Sovereignty And Human Responsibility?

    August 18, 2023 /

    Hyper-Calvinists are often accused of minimizing the responsibility of man by magnifying the sovereignty of God. This is a false charge and an erroneous dichotomy.  Rather than minimizing the responsibility of man, Hyper-Calvinists rightly identify it. They believe unregenerate sinners are responsible to God according to the terms and promises of the covenant of works, for it is under the authority of that covenant they are in relationship to God. On the other hand, regenerate sinners are responsible to God according to the terms and promises of the covenant of grace, for it is under the authority of that covenant they are in relationship with God. Experientially speaking, the turning point for a sinner between the two covenants is regeneration, which is not conditioned (spiritually…

    The Free Offer Of The Gospel

    August 15, 2023 /

    The free offer of the gospel is not only a presumptuous act on the part of the preacher, it also contradicts the nature of the gospel, setting forth a false message to unregenerate sinners. While it is a good tool for proselyting, it is a disgraceful tactic for evangelism. There is a vast difference between preaching and offering. The scriptures make clear the gospel is to be freely preached, but there is not a single reference it is to be offered. Hyper Calvinists are often accused of preaching the gospel only to the elect. This is not true. Hyper Calvinists preach a full and free gospel to everyone. They do not, however, presumptuously offer the gospel to anyone. The gospel is God's to give (through…

    “Passing Away”

    August 14, 2023 /

    Fragments Of A Sermon Preached By Jared Smith To The Covenant Baptist Church Meeting In Manila, Philippines, On Sunday, 13 August 2023 The expression ('passing away') is customarily used with reference to one's death, but the scriptures employ it with a wide range of applications. 1. We are to 'pass away' from the path of the wicked (Prov 4:14,15) 2. Those who abuse us and despitefully use us will 'pass away' (Job 6:15) 3. Our days will 'pass away' (Ps 144:3,4; Job 9:25,26; Ps 90:10-12) 4. Each generation will 'pass away' (Ecc 1:4) 5. The wicked will 'pass away' (Ps 58:8) 6. Rich people and their luxury will 'pass away' (Js 1:9-11; 1 Tim 6:17-19) 7. Our welfare and prosperity will 'pass away' (Job 30:15)…
