Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people. Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him, Talk ye of all His wondrous works. Glory ye in His holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

"Now, the style by which seducers deceive is the following...Fourth, by preaching the doctrine of liberty. The Antinomian preaches that men are freed from the moral law, the rule as well as the curse. He preaches that Christ has done all for them and [that] they need to do e doctrine of free grace a key to open the door to all licentiousness."

"What has been said above will serve to explain some controversies with which the truths of the gospel have been often darkened and perplexed; particularly those relating to the priority or right of precedency, so to speak, between faith and repentance. Some make repentance, that sorrow for sin, serious resolutions of forsaking it, and begun reformation, the joint grounds of our acceptance with the merit of a Saviour. These, with great plausibility, state the matter thus: That our sincerity is accepted through the satisfaction of Christ, instead of that perfect obedience to which we cannot now attain; and, when taken in a certain light, this assertion is undoubtedly true. Others, discerning the falsehood that may lurk under this representation, and fearing the consequences of every self-righteous plan, are tempted to go to the opposite extreme. That they might shew salvation to be wholly of grace, some have even presumed to use this harsh and unscriptural expression, that it is not necessary to forsake sin in order to come to Christ. I could shew a sense in which this also is true, even as it is not necessary to forsake your disease in order to apply to the physician. But if it is not necessary to forsake it, I am sure it is necessary, in both cases, to hate it, and desire deliverance from it"

A Hermeneutic that takes 100s of passages that speak of believers' faithfulness & interprets it as "But u can't do it" is lazy, & functionally both Antinomian & Gnostic, spiritualizing texts meant to be practical
Faith-fueled Spirit-empowered obedience is really yours

Psalm 15 demands integrity from Godβs people, not sinlessness.
But now we are discussing *doctrinal* antinomianism, which you appear to hold.

Their whole system is based on how to have assurance if obedience is out of the question.

If Trump had spent his political capital on the Save Act (in line with election promises) and not a stupid war in the Middle East (which he promised not to do) then GOP would not be here.
Thatβs the big lesson. Hereβs hoping they learn it.

"After the War, [Baxter] was fixt at Kidderminster. There his Ministry by the Divine Influence, was of admirable Efficacy. The Harvest answer'd the Seed that was sowed. Before his coming, the Place was like a Piece of dry and barren Earth, only Ignorance and Profaneness as e rise among them; but by the Blessing of Heaven upon his Labour and Cultivating, the Face of Paradise appear'd there in all the Fruits of Righteousness. Many were translated from the state of polluted Nature, to the state of Grace; and many were advanc'd to higher degrees of Holiness. The bad were chang'd to good, and the good to better.
Conversion is the Excellent Work of Divine Grace: the Efficacy of the Means is from the Supreme Mover. But God usualβ£y makes those Ministers successful in that Blessed Work, whose principal Design and Delight is to glorify him in the saving of Souls. This was the reigning Affection in his Heart; and he was extraordinarily qualified to obtain his End."
- William Bates, "A funeral-sermon for the reverend, holy and excellent divine, Mr. Richard Baxter who deceased Decemb. 8, 1691"

Bringing the law without the gospel house to house ultimately destroyed Kidderminster.

I have a feeling that this has the potential to be needlessly controversial. This is good

I'll see Aaron's spicy take and raise him a spicy take:
Polygamy will go nowhere among normie evangelicals, but it very well might see some growth among Dissident Right-types, who tend to pit 'natural law" against biblical theology and romanticize pre-Christian sex norms

How can repentance be a consequent (as opposed to an antecedent or concomitant) condition of salvation if no one may expect forgiveness without it, and we are required to repent to escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin?
