I am adamant that the Gospel we are to preach today is the same Gospel all the Apostles preached, as the Apostle Paul declared in 1 Cor 15:1-11. That Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ, is found in 1 Cor 15:1-11. In the Church today we see various attacks of addition to (Lordship Salvation), and deletion from (The Crossless & Repentanceless Gospel) the Gospel. We even see the very foundation of the Gospel attacked, the Book of Genesis, even by people who claim to be believers. I am currently reading "Defending The Gospel of Grace" which is a commentary on Galatians & Jude, and have recently received John MacArthur's Lordship Salvation apologetic, and now today I have Lou's book, In Defense Of The Gospel that refutes Lordship Salvation. Let the fun begin!

Here is an article I wrote, which you may find useful.
Did the Apostles Preach Lordship Salvation?

I'm currently 35 pages in to it. I will surely review it at Amazon, but will more than likely do a more detailed review here.
The idea of surrender for salvation, comes only if one re-defines repentance to mean that. It's like saying the ocean is red!! And showing a picture of a red ocean as proof... doesn't really hold much water with me. :)

Thanks for the reply.
On LS repentance you migh read my blog article How Does the Lordship Advocate Define Repentance?

A modified version of that blog article is in the revised and expanded edition of my book.
