Grace, Faith, and Obedience: The Gospel or Calvinism? - Paperback

by David E. Pratte (Author)

A study of Bible teaching about Calvinism compared to salvation by obedient faith. Includes the following topics: * Original sin and inherited depravity* Election and predestination* Grace and mercy of God* Falling from grace* Imputation of Christ's sinless life* Faith only or obedient faith?Does Scripture teach that we are born totally depraved because we inherit Adam's sin, or are we free moral agents having the free will power to choose between good and evil? Are the elect chosen based on unconditional predestination, or is forgiveness conditional on our conduct? Did Jesus die as atonement for the sins of all people or just for a limited few? What is the relationship between law, faith, works, and grace? Can a child of God so sin as to be lost, or does the Bible teach the perseverance of the saints (eternal security or "once saved, always saved")? #Bible #BibleStudy #BibleLesson
