Not a warning after all

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure (Philippians 2.12, 13).

Pretty ignorant: the children of believers “are Christians, and federally holy before baptism, and therefore are they baptized” (source).

When Turretin says good works are “necessary” to salvation “as means” to an end, that is like saying a tail is necessary to a cat eating fish? The writer is correct, I don’t understand his “logic” at all. I’ll stick with the “weasel words” of the Westminster Standards, thank you.

Nestorianism — Gordon Clark; see witnesses here and here.
Pantheism — Creation ex nihilo is untrue. Rather, creation must be ex deo, a “modification of divine being.” Who taught this? John Gerstner in his “handout theology” which is still sold by Ligonier Ministries. I heard […]
