TEACHING OF "FREE WILLISM"

"But art thou a proud, boastful, free-willer, saying, "I will repent and believe whenever I choose; I have as good a right to be saved as anybody, for I do my duty as well as others, and I shall doubtless get my reward"---If you are claiming a universal atonement, which is to be received at the option of man’s will, go and claim it, and you will be disappointed in your claim. You will find God will not deal with you on that ground at all, but will say, "Get thee hence, I never knew thee." He that cometh not to me through the Son, cometh not at all." I believe the man who is not willing to submit to the electing love and the absolute sovereign grace of God, has great reason to question whether he is a Christian at all, for the spirit that kicks against that is the spirit of the unhumbled, unrenewed heart. May God take away the enmity out of your heart to His own precious truth, and reconcile you to it, and then reconcile you to Himself through the blood of His Son, which is the bond and seal of the Everlasting Covenant. Amen!"

NOTE: We do not endorse all of the content of these articles. However, we do feel that they give a superior definition and explanation of the teaching of "Free Willism" or the teaching that man has a "Free Will." At this time we do not see a need to address the subject again in our own words, when articles as well written as these already exist on the Web. We are thankful that we were graciously allowed to use these articles to explan our position regarding what we feel to be a major issue in the church today. However, we do take a different position regarding the nature of man and other issues within these articles. (See the article on "TWO NATURES") If you have any questions regarding these articles please contact us at.
