Did Jesus Teach Limited Atonement?

Some have argued that the 5 points in Reformed soteriology are foreign to the Gospels and are said to be developed out of a misunderstanding of the Pauline epistles. The toughest to come to grips with, and perhaps the most detested of the 5 points is no doubt the L... limited atonement. Surely Jesus didn't teach such an idea, or did He?


Stay tuned for a February book giveaway of Pastor Jim's book, By Grace Alone.

Read Your Bible - J.C. Ryle


“Begin reading your Bible this very day. The way to do a thing is to do it, and the way to read the Bible is actually to read it. It is not meaning, or wishing, or resolving, or intending, or thinking about it; that will not advance you one step. You must positively read. There is no royal road in this matter, any more than in the matter of prayer. If you cannot read yourself, you must persuade somebody else to read to you. But one way or another, through eyes or ears, the words of Scripture must actually pass before your mind.”
-John Charles Ryle, Practical Religion, “Bible Reading,” page 131.

James R. White on Lordship Salvation

Lordship Salvation, which maintains that good works are a necessary consequence of being declared righteous before God, continues to be a hotly debated subject. Lordship Salvation proponents like John Macarthur continue to be accused of preaching a works-based Gospel, even among the Reformed camp. James R. White addresses the subject on a recent Dividing Line broadcast.

Old Fashioned Believers - Spurgeon


"We want churches that know the truth, and are well taught in the things of God. If we taught better they would learn better. See how little many professors know; not enough to give them discernment between living truth and deadly error. Old-fashioned believers could give you chapter and verse for what they believed; but how few of such remain!

To try to shake them was by no means a hopeful task: you might as well have hoped to shake the pillars of the universe; for they were steadfast, and could not be carried away with every wind of doctrine. They knew what they knew, and they held fast that which they had learned. Oh, for a church of out-and-out believers, impervious to the soul-destroying doubt which pours upon us in showers!"
-Spurgeon
