@RevDrBLee @RScottClark Congratulations!

@PatAbendroth Wrong angle:
Faith is Knowledge (Notitia) (understanding the facts), Assent (Assensus) (believing those facts are true), and Trust (Fiducia) (trusting in the object of faith, Jesus Christ). The rest (obedience) comes naturally by the Spirit.
Don’t lean on obedience, lean on faith

@sola_chad Unbelief, pride, and apostasy will land you in hell if you don’t repent. For the Christian, the Spirit will do His work in removing the addictions we accumulated before we came to Christ. The double cure, we are justified and are being justified (sanctified). 1 Thes 5:23-24.

[Paramount Church @ParamountChurch]

The phrase "Doctrines of Grace" is a 19th-century invention—used mainly by Baptists, Presbyterians, and later some Anglicans—to describe what the Reformed confessions of the Christian Faith already taught. But the confessions themselves never use that slogan, nor the term Calvinism.

They speak instead with greater precision: justification by faith only (Article XI), good works as the fruits of faith (Article XII), and works before grace as non-meritorious (Article XIII). The Canons of Dort were a judicial and pastoral reply to five Remonstrant errors, not a "five-point system."

As Richard A. Muller writes in After Calvin (2003):
"The language of 'five points of Calvinism' and the 'doctrines of grace' belongs to later Anglo-American systematizations, not to the seventeenth-century confessional documents themselves."

@JonnyRoot_ Examples please?

If one embraces the active obedience of Christ, they cannot logically reject the covenant of works #thepactum

@nocoradio This was tricky because I associated the second option WITH the first option (if you are using the term reckon in a way that Paul does not you have to say that God was wrong. Since neither are true options, this is a false statement but unfortunately I cannot undo my answer.

@BTTRMin LOL!!!!!

@nocoradio Cruel and unusual

[Onnig Sayadian @onnigs]

@_DeanAnthony Are you saying works of obedience are necessary for salvation? Because I can setup a Strawman too.

[Onnig Sayadian @onnigs]

@tchadwinder @PatAbendroth @TobyLogsdon A clear contradiction since you cannot say “good works are necessary” for anything if you are also saying the highlighted items. Also, are you familiar with his definition of final justification?This is more like middle school reading. We cannot be charitable with a false gospel.

@nocoradio 2) amount or level of trust required to receive, “supreme treasure”. The Christian can also be a bruised reed and a smoldering wick, which the Lord will never reject (Matt 12:20).

[Onnig Sayadian @onnigs]

@nocoradio 1) I read it and said, that is very Piper-esque. Then I asked how is faith to trust Jesus as “supreme treasure” and faith as a mustard seed similar? Response, they are not. The subtlety of Piper is to put truth in his statements, “God-given”, “receiving” with a requirement of the

@BTTRMin @YouTube @RScottClark @thepactum @nocoradio @ParamountChurch Yikes more law/gospel conflation, very sad.

@nocoradio Carl Trueman?? Why is he writing for Reformation 21? Is he being facetious here? "The sight of a man dressed as a woman is no longer weird. It is part of the rich tapestry of everyday life."
