Does Salvation by Grace Alone Promote Antinomianism?
I have found that on more than one occasion when I have posted that salvation is by Christ alone that those unfamiliar with our ministry and of the whole counsel of Scripture have mistaken my intent to mean that we believe and promote in some kind of easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy type of Christianity. Well this could not be further from the truth. The Apostle Paul was also criticized for teaching a gospel of grace alone but he answered his critics thus: "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?...We were buried...[and] just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life...But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life." (Rom 6).
