When you quoted Dr. White as saying "<i>the true believer is coming to Christ, always</i>" it rang a bell with me. I have been reading an online book dealing with what the author calls "gospel sanctification" which is a growing movement in reformed circles. The ramifications of "gospel sanctification" are serious and the book goes into a lot of detail. I would like to provide you with a quote.<br /><br />===== Begin Quote =====<br /><br />Proponents of the gospel-driven life believe there is no distinction between justification and sanctification, both are the gospel (since justification regards the gospel). In addition, they believe a synergistic approach to sanctification causes the “loss of both” in the person’s life (All quotations are cited in following essays). In other words, without the ongoing application of the gospel in the sanctification process, there is no justification either, so they say.<br /><br />Though they will not say it publicly for fear of losing credibility while spoon feeding this Quietist doctrine to the church, they liken the majority of evangelical leaders to the Pharisees (who in fact were not legalist, but “lawless”). Their rhetoric is intimidating; to disagree with them is to oppose <b>the gospel</b>. Who would dare oppose a doctrine with the word “gospel” included? Many of its advocates truly believe God is using them to save His church from the evil clutches of a synergistic dark age.<br /><br /><a href="http://paulspassingthoughts.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/another-gospel-ebook.pdf" rel="nofollow">Another Gospel</a><br />by Paul Dohse<br />pp 13-14<br /><br />===== End Quote =====<br /><br />GlennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
