Predestination & Free Will
What the bible says about being chosen by God for salvation versus you choosing God.
Accepting Christ
“Accepting Christ”
by I. C. Herendeen
In an effort to get sinners saved we often hear them exhorted to “accept Christ as their personal Saviour” as though those who are slaves of Satan and captives of the Devil could do so and be saved if they did so. But this is utterly foreign to Holy Scripture; there is no foundation in Holy Writ for it. It presents a false way of salvation, and therefore should be discarded along with other… Continue reading

A Sermon by C.H. Spurgeon

Free-Willism Preaches “Another Jesus”
Free-Willism Preaches “Another Jesus”
by Daniel Parks
“He who… preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached
