The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile. Our God is eternal, sovereign, righteous, and *merciful*. We note His kindness and severity, His perfect standard and His offer of forgiveness for all who have sinned against it. He is making His merciful name known among the nations. We are nearing the end of this section of Paul's letter to the Romans. We have not heard the last about Paul's missionary efforts to Gentiles or Paul's exhortations related to Jewish scruples. But here is the final paragraph of his explanation for how he could so confidently say that “it is not as though the word of God has failed” (Romans 9:6). The Lord's covenant mercy to Israel has not failed. There is a “mystery” as Paul reveals it, as Paul has been revealing it, in Romans 9-11. The mystery isn't that God changed His mind, it's that how God fulfills His mind doesn't look exactly like we might have had in mind. The end is the same, the way He gets to the end is higher than our ways. It ought to keep us humble, and that's how he starts this last paragraph before the doxology.# The Mystery in Israel's Complete Salvation (verses 25-27)It is not a mystery that Israel would be saved, but how the process of their salvation would come about. ## The Reason for Revealing the Mystery (verse 25a)Unlike the ESV's switch of the phrases, Paul actually starts with his desire for them to understand, and that understanding will keep them from getting self-wise. He also starts with a “For” (KJV, NASB), as this paragraph explains the previous parts of chapter 11. > Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: (Romans 11:25a ESV)He didn't want them to be “without knowledge,” to be “ignorant” (KJV) or “uniformed” (NASB) about the **mystery**. Mystery is a New Testament favorite, for Paul in particular (see again in Romans 16:25), referring to a thing that had previously been un-manifested. A mystery isn't a new thing, but before it was “in God's private counsel” (BADG), a secret of sorts. Paul has actually been unveiling the mystery for the last three chapters, but will spell it out in two sentences shortly. He's talking to the **brothers**, which would include all the believers, but especially the Gentiles whom he started addressing directly in verse 14. Understanding this mystery will help keep them from being arrogant and proud (see those admonitions also in verses 18, 20). ## The Nature of the Mystery (verses 25b-26a)There are *three* parts/stages to the mystery. > a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, (Romans 11:25b–26a ESV)Stage one: **a partial hardening has come upon Israel**. This is a summary of much of Romans 9 about election and Romans 10 and 11 about hardening. **Partial hardening** doesn't mean a percent of hard and soft in hearts, it's not about only fragments of arteries being blocked, but fully hardened hearts among a percent of the people of Israel. God's choice of Israel did not mean that every generation of Jews would be good, or even that the majority would receive their Messiah when He came. We know they didn't. Only a remnant would believe, the rest were hardened. Stage two: **until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in**. It's not just that much of Israel would disobey, but that Gentiles would be grafted in to the salvation blessings, and here Paul clarifies that there is a **fulness**, a final part/full number of Gentiles elected to salvation. On the timeline, we are somewhere in this stage. Stage three: **And in this way all Israel will be saved**. When the work of God among the Gentiles is done, then He will graft back in the Jews. This first part of verse 26 is a punch in the throat to Supersessionism. It simply will not do as decent Bible reading to call this **Israel** the church, or all the elect Jews and Gentiles (as John Calvin, “I extend the word Israel to all the people of God”), or any other group than ethnic, national Israel. This Israel to be saved is the same Israel that knew partial hardening. As generations of Jews rejected, so a coming generation will be fully included, reconciled, grafted back in (Romans 11:12, 15, 24). It has been just a remnant, but now all will be restored. > “The main thesis of verse 25 is that the hardening of Israel is to terminate and that Israel is to be restored. This is but another way of affirming what had been called Israel's “fulness” in verse 12, the “receiving” in verse 15, and the grafting in again in verses 23, 24. To regard the climactic statement, “all Israel shall be saved”, as having reference to anything else than this precise datum would be *exegetical violence*.” (John Murray, _The Epistle to the Romans_)If it is *all* the Christians, including Gentiles, then Gentiles being saved *IS* Israel being saved and that is not a mystery, that would be an undoing of the covenant promises. It makes the following OT covenant a lie. ## The Covenant behind the Mystery (verses 26b-27)Here are just partial quotes from two Old Testament prophecies that Paul sees being fulfilled when Israel is saved.> as it is written, > “The Deliverer will come from Zion, > he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; > “and this will be my covenant with them > when I take away their sins.” > (Romans 11:26b–27 ESV)The first comes from Isaiah 59:20-21, the second comes from Isaiah 27:9. Israel had the “covenants” (Romans 9:4). It was through the patriarchs, the “forefathers” (see the next verse), and then through the prophets. Isaiah revealed the promise of God to send a **Deliverer** who would come **from Zion**, that is, from Jerusalem, who would **banish ungodliness from Jacob**, also named by God as “Israel.” The **covenant** is: **when I take away their sins**. It's a covenant to forgive them, and because it includes forgiveness, it is unconditional. Though somehow John Calvin, “in this prophecy deliverance to the spiritual people of God is promised, among whom even Gentiles are included.” An even worse take: > "the Christian Church in which the earthly distinction between Jew and Gentile disappears never to be re-instituted. To re-instate the old distinction between Jew and Gentile after the New Testament era has dawned would be to reverse the forward march of the Kingdom, and would be as illogical and useless as to go back to candle or lamp light after the sun has risen." (Loraine Boettner, _The Millennium_, 241)That is “exegetical violence.” We've seen the New Covenant explicitly referred to in Jeremiah 31, and the similar promise of a “new heart” for sake of obedience in Ezekiel 36. And those covenants of mercy include earthly, geographical and agricultural promises to “the house of Israel” and “the house of Judah.” The Lord promised them forgiveness and fruitfulness. This is contra the Reformed Murray, who as an amillennialist at least accepts salvation for Israelites, but says none of the other physical/temporal parts of the covenants are to be expected. > The elements of these quotations specify for us what is involved in the salvation of Israel. These are redemption, the turning away from ungodliness, the sealing of covenant grace, and the taking away of sins, the kernel blessings of the gospel, and they are an index to what the salvation of Israel means. There is no suggestion of any privilege or status but that which is common to Jew and Gentile in the faith of Christ. (Murray)Apparently there's more than one way to commit “exegetical violence.” Also, other than 9:4 this is the only explicit mention of **covenant** in Romans. One would think, if we were to understand all the things through the covenant lens, that Paul certainly would have helped us learn to use that vocabulary. # The Showcase in Israel's Complete Salvation (verses 28-32)The last word on God's purpose for Israel in particular. ## A Showcase of God's Election (verses 28-29)> As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (Romans 11:28–29 ESV)The Jewish religious leaders pressed the Romans to put their Deliverer to death. No one persecuted the Christians more in the first century than Jews, Paul himself a prime example. The Jews loved their privilege as possessors of the Law (not **gospel**) and tried to establish their own righteousness apart from faith as called for in the gospel. So **they are enemies for your sake**. And yet there is a way in which all those with Jewish blood belong to the root that increases their accountability because they are **beloved for the sake of their forefathers**. They have something unique. In God's Word only one kind of person can be elect in two ways, and there are two ways to be elect in only one way, and then there are the non-elect (or the reprobate). Only Jews can be part of the elect nation and elect unto salvation. **For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable**. This is true for our salvation *because* it is true of God's Word. That counts for His covenants, and that means that *all* of what He said in those covenants must come to pass. There may be mystery in how it comes, but it must come about. God doesn't repent from giving privileges, and neither should we for receiving them from Him. ## A Showcase of God's Mercy (verses 30-32)The forgiven tend to get stingy about forgiveness, and we shouldn't. > For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. (Romans 11:30–32 ESV)What's different is that whereas Israel's disobedience led to our receiving of mercy, it is our receiving of mercy that will lead to their receiving of mercy. We share disobedience; we all know how to do that. But in God's purposes He aims for the final and full showing of **mercy on all**. This isn't universalism. It is still in the context, not just of that “fulness” of Gentiles, but of “all Israel.”# ConclusionSupercessionism is a long name for a simple error. Supercessionism is another name for replacement theology, or fulfillment theology, for *covenant misleading* not covenant mercy. It's a Bible reading error. If you read enough to believe that God will fulfill His covenant word to Israel, and that while the church receives many salvation blessings it does not fulfill the words of God to Jews (but rather will be used by God at the right time in the future to bring about Israel's salvation), then you will end up a Dispensational Premillennialist. And while we appreciate many brothers who don't identify that way, we think they miss out on the hope that this understanding secures (per Romans 8), and on the praise it provokes in doxology (per the next paragraph). His mercies never come to an end, great is His faithfulness (see Lamentations 3:22-23). Praise the Lord!----------## ChargeI will miss being the minister proclaiming the benediction for the flock the next few Lord's Days. But of course it is not my blessing, it is God's blessing on His people through the minister. May the Lord bless You and keep you and make His face shine upon you. ## Benediction:> Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Romans 16:25–27, ESV)
# IntroductionAs you read God's Word in the quiet of the morning you may not always hear the author's intended tone of the passage in your mind, and fine. I imagine that the first person who read Paul's letter to the Romans for the first time didn't realize in real-time how dramatic the rhetoric and argument and theology really are here at the halfway point; did he say, “Wait, let me read that again”? We who have familiarity with it, who have heard it a hundred or even a thousand times, aren't desensitized by the gold. We come here for the certain comfort and courage like a wall of wave driving us to shore; this is like a great golden wave. If previous parts in the letter convicted men of sin, clarified doctrine, called men to believe in Christ for salvation, this final part of chapter 8 is certainly for stimulating the faith and hope of believers. There is a crescendo, not necessarily to the entire epistle, but to a long section on the gospel. Paul narrows the subject at the start of chapter 9, and drills down on it for a least three chapters. The gospel has an order to it (Romans 1:16), and while chapter 9 begins a discussion on the Jew first and also Gentile (and Jew again), chapter 8 trumpets the security and eternality of the evangel for all who would ever believe. A bell-ringing of rhetorical questions make the realities of God's work for us in and through Christ assumptions worth dying for, or at least worth groaning through. The first section, verses 31-34, bang on some heavy theological implications, that nothing can succeed in changing God's position for us. The second section, verses 35-39, which we'll consider next Lord's Day, pronounce the impotence of all enemies to the love of Christ for us; nothing can separate us from God's love. The Word feeds our hope with realities even if the visibilities work against us. # God as the Greatest Champion (verse 31)(Don't like the title, “Champion”? No worries, choose a better one. Our word derives from the Latin *campus* - a military camp, where there are *campions* - fighters. So, one “who has defeated or surpassed all rivals; who fights or argues a cause on behalf of someone else.” That is the image portrayed through these questions.)Two questions swell up from the previous paragraph. **What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?**The second question answers the first question. We *do* know what to say. What we shall say is that *God is for us*. What provokes the question is **these things**, plural, so an umbrella over multiple things. While there's no obvious reason to limit the "things" to only the previous paragraph, a lot of those things in verses 28-30 wrap up truths from the letter. It is for the **we** and the **us** and the **us**. In the immediate context God's Spirit prays for us when all we can do is groan. Our day to day, in real time lack of words when we're suffering can't ruin our hope. We're also brought in to see a portion of the divine perspective, with His purpose to choose a people to make like His Son. The last sentence in verse 30 summarizes from first to last: God 1) predestined, 2) called, 3) justified, 4) glorified. If these four were the "these things" that would be a powerful set. It's the same group in all four. No one starts with justification (all the justified have been predestined), and no one ends with called (the called will no doubt be glorified). If your glorification is certain, as the past tense presents it, then your election is certain (see the label “elect” in verse 33). *God* predestines, *God* calls, *God* justifies, *God* glorifies. This is why we can believe that **God is for us**. The way Paul asks not only asserts the truth, he argues from the truth. The question **who can be against us?** isn't about the possibility of troublers but about the impossibility of their success. > The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. > What can man do to me? > (Psalm 118:6 ESV)Verse 33 raises the possibilities of accusers, but their words are like dandelion seeds. Verse 35 refers to persecutors and killers, but when they do their worst they can't disrupt God's love for His own. All creation against Creator looses. Any dependent, who is dependent on the Sovereign for his own existence, can't defeat the Sovereign. No non-God beats God, nor those God makes Himself *for*. There is no question about His position toward us. # God as the Greatest Benefactor (verse 32)More than predestination, regeneration, justification, and glorification—so more than choosing us, raising us from spiritual death, declaring our sins forgiven, and restoring the full image of shared glory—the way we know God is for us, and actually the price for all the salvation, is the cross work of the Son.**He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?**The question doesn't make us doubt, it draws us near to the warmth of the promise. Paul uses language that reminds us of the Lord's word to Abraham in Genesis 22: “because you have done this and have not withheld (same Greek word in the LXX as in Romans 8:32) your son, your only son, I will surely bless you” (verse 16). Of course Abraham was *ready* to obey, God went through with it, all the way (John 3:16; Isaiah 53:10). The Father **did not spare**, “He did not withhold or lighten one whit of the full toll of judgment executed upon his own well-beloved and only-begotten Son” (Murray). If I could have only one benediction, if I could give one truth to the groaning Christian, even more than Romans 8:28, verse 32 is what verse 28 is proved and purchased by. This is John 3:16 not just seen on a sign behind home plate, but covering you like a blanket while you lay in a hospital bed. The material, so to speak, of eternal life, are all the things belonging to eternal life. There are at least *four* arguments in this verse.First is the argument for God's *logical* giving, from the greater to the lesser. If God gives what is of greatest price for securing the greatest blessing of our eternal life, then of course He will give the rest of the smaller, so to speak, things. Second is the argument God's *sacrificial* giving. Before even considering the progression, consider the nature of the gift; **His own Son**. Here is God in sovereign generosity, magnanimity. He predestined us to be gift-receivers. Third is the argument for God's *effective* giving. In verse 31 any who would be against us must deal with God's secure protection of us. In verse 32 any possible lack we face must remember God's certain provision for us. Do you lack wisdom? Do you lack strength? Do you lack freedom from sin? Do you lack peace? He has purchased *all* you need, it is an all-inclusive package. His gifts are effective for our growth toward and reaching the goal of conformity to Christ. Fourth is the argument for God's *particular* giving. **All things** are yours, but all these things are not given to all people, it is only **for us all**. He gives His Son for all those He is for, and He is for all those He predestined and called. These are called "God's elect," these are the ones Christ Jesus intercedes for. The love and sacrifice and gifts are effective to the targeted group. If we say that Christ died for each and every person who has ever existed, because God is for them and didn't spare His own Son for them, and therefore will obviously give them all things, then what about those already in Hell? What about those who persist in their rebellion and unbelief? He gave His Son to give them salvation but He didn't give them faith to receive the salvation? No.Our hope is in *God's sovereign grace through the particular redemption of His sheep*. His sheep can never be separated from the Shepherd. The sending of the Son and His sacrifice were either effective and particular, or not effective. God's giving is for the propitiation of our sins and the perseverance of our faith. He gives **all things** that pertain to life and godliness so that the elect might be partakers of Christ's image and enter into the eternal kingdom of our Lord (see 2 Peter 1:3-4, 10-11). There is no question about His provision for us. # God as the Greatest Judge and Advocate (verses 33-34)Groaning happens because of loss, because of hurt, because of false guilt, and because of sinful men still in enmity against God who enjoy taking it out on the persons most representing God. Ironically, they like to judge (not realizing they are in the wrong seat.) It comes out in accusations (then even killing, see next verses).**Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.****Charge**, **condemn**, accuse, judge, *slander*, all the same. We're taken back to the righteousness of God being revealed, in God's declaring His people righteous. Accusers can't overcome the one who does the accounting; **it is God who justifies**.The **elect** are here by God's choice (see also Colossians 3:12), and, there is more to come about God's election in chapter 9. The death and resurrection of Jesus show the Father and Son's love, and proclaim that the Son bore the Father's wrath and that the Father received the substitution on behalf and raised His Son in vindication of that acceptance. For us Christ died. For us Christ was raised. (For us) Christ is at the right hand of God. For us Christ intercedes. Jesus said "It is finished," referring to taking our punishment, but not His priestly work of prayer. Even now He intercedes for the ones He atoned for (see also Hebrews 7:25, also Isaiah 53:12). The Spirit prays when we're groaning so much that we're not sure what to pray, the Son prays for the ongoing application of His purchase, and that He is **at the right hand** indicates the position of authority.Even when our own heart condemns us, God is greater (1 John 4:10). No higher court of appeal is to be found. Those who argue against our justification argue against the gospel, the cross, and against the honor and justice of the Judge. There is no question about His protection of us. # ConclusionB. B. Warfield, in his book [The Plan of Salvation](https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/warfield/warfield_plan.html) summarizes:> “The things we have to choose between are an atonement of high value, or an atonement of wide extension. The two cannot go together.”Loraine Boettner wrote one of the foremost books on Calvinism titled _The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination_ (1932). His chapter on Limited Atonement is one that profoundly shaped my thinking on this issue. He gives a great concrete illustration of the difference between the two limitations:> “For the Calvinist it is like a narrow bridge which goes all the way across the stream; for the Arminian it is like a great wide bridge which goes only half-way across.”We might say that there is mystery in the Father's election, but there is no mystery in the argument for our hope. If God is for us, and He is for every believer, *blessings all around and forever*. If God is *not* for you, cry out for His salvation. If God is for us, He can't be turned against us. If God is for us, all His sovereign wisdom and power keeps us inseparable from His love, and though we suffer or even are slayed, we have hope and are unconquerable sheep.----------## ChargeTurkey and ham, mashed potatoes and stuffing, pumpkin and pecan, relatives' compliments and criticisms, Monday morning at work and Thursday afternoon on the couch, salvation and suffering, faith and fatigue, presents and unfinished projects, the gospel and good works, the Spirit and the Son, all are yours and you are Christ's. Do not be as Job's wife: "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" (Job 2:10). Resist the devil and your thanksgiving will be free. ## Benediction:> So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:21–23, ESV)
One of the greatest challenges to God's total sovereignty over all things is the problem of evil. Is God sovereign over evil, and if so, doesn't that then make Him responsible for evil? In this last episode of this series, we'll consider this conundrum through the lens of Scripture itself to see what God's Word has to say on the topic. We'll also consider some important implications of this doctrine, and answer a few objections which were raised. Lastly, we'll also give you some recommended resources for further study.

Welcome to the fourth part of our Eschatology series: A look at the end times. In part 1, we covered WHY you should care about Eschatology and why it’s worth spending our time on. Then in part 2 we covered the Premillennial viewpoint and part 3 we covered the Amillennial viewpoint. Now we are going to deep dive into the Postmillennial viewpoint. Then we will wrap up the series with a Q&A episode (and where do we go from here)? Let’s dive in! Listen to the Podcast: And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer. A note on this series: In no way are Jason and I an expert in this topic. But we’ve greatly enjoyed diving into eschatology this year and are excited to share what we’ve learned. We are covering the 3 main views of the end times, but even within those 3, there are countless smaller viewpoints of those. So what we are attempting to do here is a broad overview of each point. Please forgive us if we over generalize any areas or if we make a mistake on any of these. Please come dialogue with us on Instagram if you want to share anything! Overview of the Postmillennial Viewpoint: This is the view that Christ will return after the Millennium here on earth (hence the post part). This is a partial preterest viewpoint which means that they view many of the events prophesied in the book of Revelation as already have happened (i.e. the great Tribulation, the Antichrist and so forth). Because of this (and Bible verses from both the Old and New Testament), they take the most optimistic view of human history. They believe that the Gospel will flourish (from the times of the Apostles and the Early Church) now through until when the Millennium is ushered in here on earth. They think the world will get "better and better" because of the triumph and influence of the Gospel in the world. They see the world becoming more and more Christian until even the nations bow to Christ. Once the Gospel has spread that far, the Millennium here on earth will be ushered in and Christ will return after that. Graphs from The Blue Letter Bible Proponents of Postmill: Rousas J.

Soteriology 101: Former Calvinistic Professor discusses Doctrines of Salvation
If I had a dollar for every time I was accused of being a “Pelagian” or “Semi-Pelagian,” I’d have at least enough money to put my eldest through college. Typically, the accusation comes from those who are less informed about the historical use of these labels and there actual meanings as it relates to our current soteriological disagreements.[1] So, let’s get educated. Pelagius was a 5th century British monk who was accused of teaching that people had the natural ability to fulfill the commands of God by an exercise of the human will apart from divine assistance (grace). Pelagianism came to be known as the belief that mankind is born basically good, without a sinful nature, and is thus capable of doing good without God’s help. [2] Because Pelagius was deemed a heretic, little of his work survived to the present day except in the quotes of his opponents (not the most reliable of sources). Many modern scholars suspect that Pelagius’ actual teachings were greatly misrepresented so as to demonize and marginalize him (this is not difficult to imagine). Despite what is commonly known of Pelagius, evidence indicates that he and his followers taught that all good works come only by divine aid (grace), which was seen as “enabling,” not “effectual/irresistible” in nature. For instance, in a letter to the Pope defending himself, Pelagius is reported to have written: “This grace we for our part do not, as you suppose, allow to consist merely in the law, but also in the help of God. God helps us by His teaching and revelation, whilst He opens the eyes of our heart; whilst He points out to us the future, that we may not be absorbed in the present; whilst He discovers to us the snares of the devil; whilst He enlightens us with the manifold and ineffable gift of heavenly grace… This free will is in all good works always assisted by divine help.” [3] And in an accompanying confession of faith, he states, “Free-will we do so own, as to say that we always stand in need of God’s help,” And he affirmed, “We do also abhor the blasphemy of those who say that any impossible thing is commanded to man by God; or that the commandments of God cannot be performed by any one man.” So, while Pelagius maintained human responsibility to keep the commands of God he still seemed to maintain the need of divine aid in doing so.[4] Augustine, a contemporary of Pelagius, was the first on record to teach the concept of individual effectual election to salvation. Even Calvinistic historian Loraine Boettner concedes that this “was first clearly seen by Augustine” in the fifth century. In fact, Boettner notes, not only did the earliest Church Fathers not interpret the doctrine of election “Calvinistically,” but much of their teaching stands in strong opposition to such conclusions. A great emphasis on the absolute freedom of the human will and repudiations of individual predestination to salvation is found clearly throughout the earliest writings of the church. [5] John Calvin himself acknowledged this fact when he stated: “Further, even though the Greeks [Early Church Fathers] above the rest—and Chrysostom especially among them—extol the ability of the human will, yet all the ancients, save Augustine, so differ, waver, or speak confusedly on this subject, that almost nothing certain can be derived from their writings.”[6] So, by Calvinists own admission, Augustine introduced much of these unique (and often controversial) doctrinal beliefs in the 5th century.[7] Pelagius stood up against Augustine’s new doctrinal positions and even went so far as to accuse him of being under the influence of his former Manichean (Gnostic) roots, which was known to teach pagan fatalism as if it were a Christian doctrine.[8] Augustine, in turn, accused Pelagius of denying any need for divine aid in the conversion process. It is likely that both of them went too far in their accusations, but history reveals that it was Augustine’s smears of Pelagius that won over in the court of public opinion.[9] Pelagianism, therefore, has become known historically as “the teaching that man has the capacity to seek God in and of himself apart from any movement of God or the Holy Spirit, and therefore that salvation is effected by man’s efforts.”[10] Traditionalists, like myself, wholeheartedly deny this belief and consider the label offensive and completely misrepresentative of our actual teachings (and I’m under the impression Pelagius himself would express similar sentiments if given a fair hearing today). Here are a few reasons why this label would not rightly represent our views: We believe man has the capacity to respond willingly to God’s means of seeking to save the lost, NOT that man would seek God if left alone. We believe God is graciously actively working in and through creation, conscience, His bride, His Holy Spirit filled followers, and his Word to aid humanity in their conversion. We believe salvation is wholly of God in that He owes no man forgiveness or eternal life, even if they freely repent and humbly submit to Him as Lord and Savior. Asking for forgiveness no more merits that forgiveness than the prodigal son’s return home merited the reception he received from his father. That was the choice of a gracious father alone. WHAT ABOUT SEMI-PELAGIANISM? First, it should be noted that the term “Semi-Pelagian” was first introduced in the late 16th century by Calvinistic theologians attempting to combat the rising popularity of Molinism, an alternative method of reconciling the problem of divine omniscience and human freedom.[11] Calvinistic Apologist, Matt Slick, describes Semi-Pelagianism in this way: “Semi-Pelagianism is a weaker form of Pelagianism (a heresy derived from Pelagius who lived in the 5th century A.D. and was a teacher in Rome). Semi-Pelagianism (advocated by Cassian at Marseilles, 5th Century) did not deny original sin and its effects upon the human soul and will, but it taught that God and man cooperate to achieve man’s salvation. This cooperation is not by human effort as in keeping the law but rather in the ability of a person to make a free will choice. The semi-Pelagian teaches that man can make the first move toward God by seeking God out of his own free will and that man can cooperate with God’s grace even to the keeping of his faith through human effort. This would mean that God responds to the initial effort of a person and that God’s grace is not absolutely necessary to maintain faith.”[12] In my lengthy discussion with Matt Slick over our soteriological differences, he more than once accused me of “Semi-Pelagianism.” Do Traditionalists, like myself, believe that “God and man cooperate to achieve man’s salvation?” Let me respond to that by asking this question: “Did the prodigal son and his father cooperate to achieve the son’s restoration, or was that a gracious choice of the father alone upon his son’s return?” The false belief that forgiveness is somehow owed to those who freely humble themselves and ask for it leads to erroneous conclusions such as this. Do Traditionalists teach that “man can make the first move toward God by seeking God out of his own free will?” I challenge anyone to find just one Traditional Southern Baptist scholar who has even come close to making this kind of claim. I’m tempted to offer an award…(maybe a year supply of play-doh or something?) Do Traditionalists teach that “God responds to the initial effort of a person?” Of course not! Belief that mankind is able to willingly respond to the gracious means of God to seek and save the lost IS NOT equal to mankind making “the first move toward God.” If it was proven that I could not call the President of the United States on the phone, would you also conclude, based on that information, that it would be impossible for me to answer the phone if the President tried to call me? Of course not, but that is exactly what those who accuse us of Semi-Pelagianism are doing. In their shortsighted and ill-informed effort to discredit our perspective, they have resorted to what is known as a “boogie-man fallacy.” This is a certain type of argument, which, in fact, is not an argument, but a means of forestalling discussion and erroneously labelling an opponent’s position with that of a known heresy so as to demonize and discredit it. For example, someone in a debate might say, “See, his view sounds like something Hilter said once, so you shouldn’t listen to him any more.” Hitler is a known “boogie man” or “bad character,” so if I can associate my opponent’s views with Hilter, then I’ll discredit him all together. Likewise, Pelagius has become the Calvinist’s go to “boogie man,” and many of them will stop at nothing to slap that label on us so as to marginalize and discredit anything we say. This method bears a certain resemblance to the ad hominem fallacy, and comes from the same root motivation: Discredit and marginalize the person and their views rather than objectively evaluating and offering a sound, non-fallous rebuttal. The ad hominem fallacy consists of attempting to refute an argument by impeaching the character of its proponent, where as the boogie man fallacy seeks to associate an argument with that of someone whose character (or belief) has already been impeached (like poor ol’ Pelagius). This would be like an Arminian calling Dr. John Piper a “Hyper-Calvinist” (those who denounce the need of evangelism) on the basis that he teaches some similar views to that of known hyper-Calvinists. This is pure “guilt by association” and it is the lazy man’s approach to avoid an otherwise rational and informed discussion of the issues. Those who resort to such tactics either do not know any better or they are nefariously attempting to marginalize and demonize the views of those who disagree with them. Readers of this article can no longer appeal to the former as an excuse. Added Note: Some Arminians have mistakenly joined in this accusation against Southern Baptist Traditionalists.

However, it also explicitly denied double predestination (of the equal-ultimacy variety), stating, “We not only do not believe that any are foreordained to evil by the power of God, but even state with utter abhorrence that if there are those who want to believe so evil a thing, they are anathema.” The document links grace with baptism, which was not a controversial subject at the time. It received papal sanction.[Oakley, Francis (Jan 1, 1988), The Medieval Experience: Foundations of Western Cultural Singularity, University of Toronto Press, p. 64.; Thorsen, Don (2007), An Exploration of Christian Theology, Baker Books, 20.3.4.

[12] https://carm.org/semi-pelagianism [Note: Ironically there is also much dispute as to whether Cassian actually taught what he was accused of teaching as well: The view that Cassian propounded Semipelagianism has been disputed. Lauren Pristas, writes: “For Cassian, salvation is, from beginning to end, the effect of God’s grace. It is fully divine. Salvation, however, is salvation of a rational creature who has sinned through free choice. Therefore, salvation necessarily includes both free human consent in grace and the gradual rehabilitation in grace of the faculty of free choice. Thus Cassian insists salvation is also fully human. His thought, however, is not Semi-Pelagian, nor do readers who submit to the whole corpus emerge Semi-Pelagians.” [see Lauren Pristas (1993), The Theological Anthropology of John Cassian, PhD dissertation, Boston College,OCLC 39451854]
