Sometimes there is a temptation to compromise the gospel of God’s grace not only doctrinally but practically in how we behave. The gospel does not need our embellishment. We are justified before God by His grace through faith and nothing else. Our behavioral performance cannot earn God’s grace. Those who compromise the gospel need to be confronted as Paul did Peter. Peter was behaving inconsistently with the gospel, but Paul took a firm stand against his behavior. The key to living for God is to identify with Jesus Christ and by faith allow Him to live His life through us.

In this introductory message to Charlie's 6-part series on Galatians you will learn the setting and a simple outline for this important epistle. The Apostle Paul is amazed at how quickly the Galatians turned away from the grace of the gospel they received from him. What was the gospel that Paul preached? It was a gospel of grace, which means works have no role in the reception of salvation. Today, many pervert the pure gospel of grace. Only the true gospel can produce a godly change in a person’s life. This series was recorded at the Gulf Coast Bible Conference.

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.

Further, addresses the concept of 'Lordship Salvation' and succinctly deconstructs the relationship between faith, discipleship, and true salvation.

Lastly his conversation dwells on eternal security and provides comforting assurance of God's unwavering faithfulness.

Charlie talks with Dr. Andy Woods about the thesis of his book, Ever Reforming. For all the good we received from the Reformers, we should also be aware of their shortfalls. There is a tendency to venerate and codify their teachings without question. On some doctrines, they were helpful. Unfortunately, on others, they were incomplete at best, or wrong at worst. Andy explains how this happened as a result of an inconsistent hermeneutic and a heavy reliance on Augustine. We also hear insights on why Martin Luther did not like the book of Revelation, and a discussion of "progressive illumination." Andy received his PhD from Dallas Theological Seminary, pastors Sugarland Bible Church, and is president of Chafer Theological Seminary. Two of his books are Ever Reforming, and The Coming Kingdom. You can find an abundance of Bible study resources and messages at AndyWoodsMinistries.org.

He is also a board member and professor at Chafer Theological Seminary. You can find a load of Bible teaching on many subjects on his ministry web site, DeanBibleMinistries.org.

What is the Free Grace perspective all about? Here, Charlie explains this view in a slightly revised presentation that he has done before. The FG view begins with a clear understanding of what grace means, then the importance of faith and Jesus Christ as the object of faith. Our salvation was accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, therefore, we can add nothing to that work. Assurance of salvation comes from God's Word and the assurance the eternal security of one's salvation. It is also crucial to distinguish between salvation and discipleship. The latter deals with Christian life issues. Grace is essential for Christian growth and the best motivation to serve God. Though salvation is secure, this does not promote sin. The Bible teaches that believers are responsible for and will be held accountable for how they live at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If one does not understand these truths, the gospel can be corrupted and made ineffective. The Free Grace position is biblically sound, makes assurance possible, and is a foundation for spiritual growth.
