The Gospel, Repentance and Faith, New Gospel, Evangelism"According to Calvinism, salvation is accomplished by the almighty power of the triune God: the Father chose a people, the Son died for them, the Holy Spirit makes Christ’s death effective by bringing the elect to faith and repentance, thereby causing them to willingly obey the Gospel. The entire process (election, redemption, regeneration) is the work of God and is by grace alone. Thus God, not man, determines who will be the recipients of the gift of salvation. This is the biblical Gospel." - Loraine Boettner - What is the Gospel
Decisional Regeneration by James E. Adams
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught that the new birth is so important that no one can see heaven without it. Mistakes concerning this doctrine have been very destructive to the Church of Christ.
Invitations of the Gospel by Gilbert Beebe
We have received a communication from the north, over the signature, “A Friend of Truth,” desiring our views in regard to what are called the invitations of the gospel; whether they are addressed indiscriminately to sinners or exclusively to the quickened children of God. We learn from the letter that some of our esteemed brethren are differing seriously on the subject.
The Carnal Christian by Ernest C Reisinger
Many who regularly occupy church pews, fill church rolls, and are intellectually acquainted with the facts of the gospel never strike one blow for Christ. They seem to be at peace with his enemies. They have no quarrel with sin and, apart from a few sentimental expressions about Christ, there is no biblical evidence that they have experienced anything of the power of the gospel in their lives.
The Centrality of the Cross by James Montgomery Boice
Any gospel that talks merely of the Christ-event, meaning the Incarnation without the atonement, is a false gospel. Any gospel that talks about the love of God without pointing out that his love led him to pay the ultimate price for sin in the person of his Son on the cross is a false gospel.
The Difference in the Old Gospel and the New Gospel by Rolfe Barnard
Now my friends, I come to say that the Old Gospel of God's Grace is opposed to this "new gospel" of part grace and part man. The Old Gospel, which is the true Gospel of God, safeguarded some values which this "new gospel" loses.
The Doctrine of Repenance by E. C. Wines
The word repentance, in the original language of the New Testament, signifies an after-thought. It denotes a change wrought in the mind and intention by a retrospect of our past life.
The Gospel and Evangelicalism: An Assessment by William Webster
Having examined the gospel of the Scriptures, the teaching of Jesus, and the position of the Reformers and Reformed theologians on the application and appropriation of salvation, some serious concerns must be raised about the gospel which is being presented by some evangelicals in our day.Having examined the gospel of the Scriptures, the teaching of Jesus, and the position of the Reformers and Reformed theologians on the application and appropriation of salvation, some serious concerns must be raised about the gospel which is being presented by some evangelicals in our day.
The Invincible Gospel & The Modern Evangelical Lie by Richard M. Bennett
I had great difficulties as a Catholic priest in listening to evangelists in my fourteen years of searching for the Gospel. Christian radio programs continually told me the amount of things I had to do to accept Jesus into my heart.
The Life and Power of Divine Truth in Christ by John Owen
Setting aside what we have discoursed and proved before--concerning the laying of the foundation of all the counsels of God in the person of Christ, and the representation of them in the ineffable constitution thereof--I shall give some few instances of this relation of all spiritual truths unto him--manifesting that we cannot learn them, nor know them, but with a due respect thereunto.
The Lordship of Christ - Preface and Dedication by James A. Stewart
How solemn are the words of the Lord to Jeremiah and to the people of God: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you; they make you vain; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord...
The Lordship of Christ - Shifting the Emphasis by James A. Stewart
During the past thirty years we have noticed a gradual, subtle shift in the emphasis of the "Gospel of the glory of Christ," which amounts to a complete perversion of the blessed evangel.
The Lordship of Christ - The True Emphasis by James A. Stewart
What then is the true emphasis in the message of the evangel? The very appellations of the Gospel clearly convey its message; viz, the lordship of Christ.
The Lordship of Christ - The True Motive by James A. Stewart
When William C. Bums was leaving Scotland for China, a man said to him, "I suppose you are going to convert the Chinese." "No," Mr. Burns replied, "I am going to China to glorify God." Yes, this is the grand design of all Gospel preaching.
The Lordship of Christ - True Repentance by James A. Stewart
There are many who want to be saved from the consequences of their sin, who do not want to be saved from the love of it. Many want to be delivered from sin's curse and sin's wages, who do not want to bow their neck to the yoke of Christ.
The Transforming Effect of the Gospel by J. Gresham Machen
Modern thought is a mighty force. It is either subservient to the Gospel or else it is the deadliest enemy of the Gospel. For making it subservient, religious emotion is not enough, intellectual labor is also necessary. And that labor is being neglected. The Church has turned to easier tasks. And now she is reaping the fruits of her indolence. Now she must battle for her life.
What is a Biblical Christian? by Albert N. Martin
One must not make the assumption lightly that he or she is a true Christian. A false conclusion at this point is tragic and fatal. Therefore I want to set before you four strands of the Bible's answer to the question, "What is a biblical Christian?"
What is the Gospel? by Loraine Boettner
The Gospel is the good news about the great salvation purchased by Jesus Christ, by which He reconciled sinful men to a holy God. The purpose of this article is to set forth, in plain language and in terms easily understood, the basic differences between the Calvinistic (Reformed) and Arminian understanding of the Gospel, and to show what the Bible teaches concerning these subjects.
