Send us a textThe age-old theological tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility continues to challenge believers today. Does Reformed theology turn humans into robots? Does free will exist in a meaningful way? What does Jesus really mean when He invites the weary to come to Him?This thought-provoking episode dives deep into the heart of Reformed theology and its approach to salvation, tackling the misconceptions that often surround Calvinistic beliefs. We explore how every Protestant's understanding of salvation inevitably aligns with either Arminian or Calvinistic frameworks—whether they acknowledge these theological roots or not.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we examine what truly determines our choices. While many celebrate the notion that "God loves us so much that He gave us free will," Scripture never makes such a claim. Instead, the Bible consistently points to God's love being demonstrated through the gift of His Son. We discover how our nature—not abstract free will—determines what we choose, and why this understanding is crucial for grasping how salvation works.Through a careful examination of Matthew 11:28-30, we unpack Jesus' profound invitation: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This passage beautifully illustrates the harmony between divine calling and human response. Christ commands us to come while simultaneously being the one who enables that coming through the gift of a new heart.For those wrestling with questions of choice, predestination, and God's sovereignty, this episode offers biblical clarity without compromising the mystery. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for the miracle of salvation—how God sovereignly works while we genuinely and willingly respond to His grace.Join us as we discover why Christ's yoke is truly easy and His burden genuinely light—not because we have innate ability to bear it, but because He provides everything necessary for us to come and find the rest our souls desperately need.Support the show

Can a believer lose his salvation? Does one need to work really hard and show visible works to be saved? Is it necessary to maintain a near sinless life to be assured of heaven? Hutson Smelley in his commentary on the three epistles states emphatically, no! He examines First John to demonstrate that the Tests of Fellowship view is correct rather than the Calvinistic approach of the Tests of Life view.

Al Mohler, Thomas Schreiner, and other SBC scholars are not having it. Why? Because Bates challenges the sacred cow of their Calvinistic system, daring to suggest that "faith" might actually involve something more than passive intellectual assent. In this video, we break down their most absurd objections—ranging from semantic gymnastics to straw man arguments—and show why Bates' proposal isn't just biblical, it's necessary. We'll explore: Why the word "pistis" can't be reduced to mental agreement How Calvinist categories often force Scripture into a philosophical grid Why "allegiance" offers a richer, more robust vision of saving faith And why the SBC gatekeepers feel so threatened by this If you're tired of theological ivory towers and want to dig into a gospel that demands real, embodied loyalty to King Jesus, this one's for you.

One of our Deacons, Brother Rick, teaches the second lesson of our New Members / Get to know Legacy material. In this lesson we go over what it means to be a Reformed Baptist. How is that different from other kinds of Baptist, and while we are at it, what makes a Baptist. We tackle the issue by looking at some history, and what we call the 3 C's: Confessional, Covenantal, Calvinistic.

Dr. Leighton Flowers confronts Dr. James White's most recent Dividing Line broadcast where he once again accused me of "not hardly touching the text" in our debates.   Of course this has been proven to be false here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SetRqfS02R8) where we put each of our commentaries next to each other and timed them to demonstrate that White's claim is objectively false.   But, today we want to spend most of our time on the Calvinistic view of Romans 8 regarding what they often call, "The Golden Chain." In doing so, we will look at one Biblical scholar who provides more support for our view of that passage.   To watch more from Dr. Korytko, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=The_iok4IC4 To see White's video, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmXSgWN3oTg

What actually holds you together when life blindsides you? Maybe it's a breakup. A diagnosis. Or the crushing weight of everything right now. If you're wired for hustle, your first instinct might be to work through it—to push harder, achieve more, be exceptional. What if the answer wasn't in doing more, but in seeing oneself as LESS? Wait, what? Julia Baird—broadcaster, journalist, and bestselling author—gets it. She loves being hyper-productive. But when her world cracked open, she didn't seek solace in success. Instead, she discovered the power of her shrinking self and the practice of deliberately seeking awe. In this episode, we dive into the joys (and downsides) of hyper-productivity. We examine “the shrinking self”— and why it might be your secret weapon during tough times. We talk about the sustaining power of deep friendships, ocean swimming and dancing. You'll also learn what Julia has recently said “ENOUGH!” to and felt better for it. You know those episodes where you take notes, read the transcript, and listen twice? This might be one of them. 0:00 Intro 3:40 Julia's broken foot.

Warren McGrew joins me again to respond to another really bad argument by a rogue Calvinist. We will specifically address the Calvinistic interpretation of Romans 8:7-9 as it relates to the "ordo salutis" (logical order of events in salvation) from the Reformed/Calvinistic perspective, which is based on logic that goes something like this:   1. If you're in the flesh you cannot please God 2. Believing in Christ would please God 3. Therefore, you cannot believe in Jesus because that would please God   Which is a non-sequitur. This example makes the fallacy very clear:   1. If you're playing in mud you cannot please mom. 2. Leaving the mud and cleaning up would please mom. 3. Therefore, you cannot leave the mud and clean up because that would please mom.    The Calvinist comes to the text with presumptions that simply are not supported by this text, or any other.     To get your copy of Dr. Flowers new book, Drawn By Jesus, go here: https://a.co/d/6s767Ey   To SUPPORT this broadcast, please click here: https://soteriology101.com/support/   Subscribe to the Soteriology 101 Newsletter here: www.soteriology101.com/newsletter   Is Calvinism all Leighton talks about? https://soteriology101.com/2017/09/22/is-calvinism-all-you-talk-about/   DOWNLOAD OUR APP: LINK FOR ANDROIDS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

Have you ever "Liked" a social media short or reel by a person preaching the Bible very similarly to how we and other likeminded churches preach? Chances are, they were likely Calvinistic preachers. Unfortunately, the term "bible-believers" is accredited more with Calvinists than it is with those who actually believe the Bible in its proper context and rightly divided. Tune in to find out why.

Send us a textCould it be that Jesus's sacrifice was never intended for everyone? Discover the complexities of particular redemption, often referred to as limited atonement, as we explore the question that has puzzled theologians for centuries: For whom did Jesus die? Join us as we dissect this pivotal doctrine within the Calvinistic framework, challenging the notion of universal atonement and offering a fresh perspective grounded in historical and theological insights.We contrast the diverging views of Calvinism and Arminianism, diving into concepts such as unconditional election and the sufficiency versus efficiency of Christ's atonement. Through thought-provoking metaphors and scriptural references, you'll learn how Adam's sin and Christ's sacrifice parallel each other in their effects on humanity. We unravel the intricate layers of spiritual lineage, divine sovereignty, and predestination, questioning traditional interpretations and encouraging a deeper understanding of one's spiritual heritage.Lastly, grapple with the unsettling implications of salvation and condemnation as part of God's divine purpose. We tackle the controversial idea that Christ's atonement, while universally sufficient, is applied efficiently only to the elect, making a compelling argument for deliberate, selective grace. If you're ready to challenge your beliefs and seek clarity in the doctrine of atonement, this episode is for you. Join us on this journey to uncover the profound theological truths about God's plan for salvation.Survive the holidays without going broke!

Most people who hold to a Calvinistic view of salvation probably think they have rejected works-based righteousness. But when sin is revealed in a leader, why do so many turn to that man's works to assure themselves that he is truly saved? This was the response of many when Steve Lawson was removed from office. And in the last sermon he preached before his removal, this was Steve Lawson's defense of himself as well. Scripture teaches us that we can have assurance of salvation. But it warns us that even though we can examine our inward motivations, we are susceptible to deceiving ourselves (Philippians 2:12-13, I Corinthians 11:28-32). When it comes to other people, scripture is very clear, we can NEVER be assured of someone else's salvation in the same way. But more importantly, scripture teaches that while those who have been saved still sin, those who walk in sin or practice sin, ARE NOT saved. (Galatians 5:16-24, I John 1:16). To say it a different way, we can be more assured that someone else is NOT saved than that they are. And this bothers many people. In his last sermon, which was on John the Baptist, Steve Lawson suddenly says the following: “And you should not judge a man by his one weak moment you need to look at the whole body of his work you need to look at his whole message. You need to look at his whole ministry and don't judge him on one hiccup that happens.” And while you may disagree that this statement was connected to what was about to happen to Steve Lawson and his ministry, it is a perfect example of how he was defended by many. So here's the question: how susceptible are you to a work-based righteousness defense of salvation? Not where you say, “good works are the necessary fruit of salvation”, but where you are tempted to weigh the good works vs the bad? Because that's not found in scripture. Nowhere does God say that we should reassure ourselves of someone's salvation because they have done many good works. That is the proclamation of the lawless who stand before God in the day of judgment: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

Send us a Text Message.What does it mean to truly be a servant of Jesus Christ? This episode unpacks 1 Timothy 4:6-11, offering deep insights into the essence of instructing others in truth, nourishing ourselves with faith, and rejecting irreverent myths. We discuss how exercising toward godliness becomes a transformative journey when led by the Holy Spirit. We particularly focus on verse 10's profound statement about God being the Savior of all men, especially those who believe, and how this aligns with reformed Calvinistic doctrine, providing a robust foundation for personal confidence in the gospel.Why is Jesus depicted as the Savior of the world, and what does this mean for each of us? We delve into historical and illustrative examples, such as the cities of refuge in ancient Israel and the role of a town doctor, to bring to life the theological concept of Christ's sufficiency and effectiveness. We emphasize that His atonement is sufficient for all but effectual only for the elect, thanks to His divine nature. This segment will deepen your understanding of Christ's pivotal role in salvation history and the infinite value of His sacrifice.Finally, we explore salvation as a free gift from God, accessible to all through faith in Jesus Christ. Drawing parallels to a seminary grant initially unclaimed, we illustrate how this divine offer is available to everyone, but must be actively received through faith. We reflect on key biblical passages that highlight the inclusive yet conditional nature of this gift, urging listeners to accept Christ wholly and live out this transformative faith. The episode concludes with a compelling call to seek God with full assurance of faith and share the good news boldly with the world.Support the Show.

Practical life experiences with insight helps us understand the God who never changes. Mark's three points: 1. The Importance of knowing God Eternal life starts now Thinking of God humbles the mind 2. The Westminster Confession of Faith Background for the statement of faith at the time. Calvinistic with a Puritan spin 3. Points for home Let's get strong Let's go for the gold Let's follow his path Listen to Mark share the importance of considering when the Bible was written, the original audience's life experiences, combined with cultural differences to more fully understand God's message. What does God say in a life that's painful and confusing? The unity of God. There is only one God. Who is faithful and true.

True Grace of God Pastor Chad Wagner There are many voices in the world and most of them are of deceiving spirits. The Bible is clear on that. In fact, there is only ONE VOICE we need to listen to and that is voice of Jesus as we hear by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen! When we learn to discern the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are able to minister to others and pray effectively with others. We are able to discern between “good and evil” and when things being presented are not Biblically grounded in the Word of God or when things are actually proclaiming the Truth from the Word of God. One man who has taken this to the next level is Pastor Chad Wagner. Chad is the pastor of the “Excelsior Springs Church” which is an Independent Baptist Church located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Chad is also the author of a great book titled, “The True Grace of God.” This book uses scripture to expound upon the “True Grace of God” while refuting the errors of both Arminianism and Calvinism. Amen! To open this great discussion, help me welcome to the program Pastor Chad Wagner!  Pastor, thank you for taking the time to join us today! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Chad Wagner?” In preparing for our interview today, I noticed you were in the Army and even trained at Fort Bliss, Texas, my old stomping grounds for a few years.  What was your MOS in the Army? I always take the time to honor those who served this nation in the military. So thank you for your service.  The military veterans hold a special place in my heart, mainly because of my 12 years of service as well. But I just wanted to take that minute to honor your service. Let's talk about your book, “The True Grace of God.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now? One thing I found on your website is the definition of salvation from Jesus' own Words, where he said in John 3:36, “…he that believes on the Son HAS eternal life.”  Not “gets eternal life” but HAS it – already!  Because Faith comes by HEARING and true hearing ONLY COMES by the Word of God.  Share with our audience how that revelation became true for you… How did the Lord grow your faith as you studied scriptures in preparing the manuscript for this book? Explain the layout of “The True Grace of God.” From what I took away, you take certain topics and then discuss them from what the Bible has to say, plainly, in scripture… then compare the Arminian and the Calvinistic positions on the same scriptures. Correct? What is the #1 takeaway you would like your readers to understand after reading “The True Grace of God?” This sounds like a book that needs to be on the book shelves and desks of pastors around the country. They may have their toes stepped on though when reading the Truth's contained in your book. But I always say in my sermons, “If you don't want your toes stepped on, don't put your feet out from under the desk.” Amen! Pastor, how can someone obtain a copy of your book, “The True Grace of God?”  Is it on...

Calvinism has characteristically argued for limited atonement (the "L" in TULIP), but can they attribute that to John Calvin? Dr. Allen will prove from Calvin's original statements that he held to unlimited atonement without exception. Only later, through the revisions of Theodore Beza and the ecclesiastical councils of the Synod of Dort and the Westminster Assembly, was limited atonement adopted as representative of genuine Calvinism even though there was significant disagreement within those assemblies. Limited atonement is a theological extrapolation from a system based on a faulty understanding of total depravity. As Dr. Allen says limited atonement is a doctrine in search of a proof text. Dr. Allen received his PhD from the University of Texas and now serves at Mid-America Seminary in Memphis. He is currently a candidate for the presidency of the Southern Baptist Convention. He also has a unique ministry coaching preachers in their preaching skills (see PreachingCoach.com). He has written extensively on the atonement in his lengthy book, The Extent of the Atonement, as well as a chapter in Calvinism: A Biblical and Theological Critique. Share this episode with your Calvinist, and non-Calvinist, friends and leave a comment with your thoughts.
