Defective Connect 316 teaching pt2.

JL Dagg;
Every proposed method of salvation that leaves the issue dependent on human volition, is defective.

And here it is stated by this false teaching group....

This is a denial of the biblical account. Adam was not wounded, but he died spiritually.
If you say....I believe what happened in the garden...but I do not believe Adam died......you are denying the biblical account.

 

JL.Dagg...
The truth or falsehood of a religious doctrine cannot be determined by the acceptance which is obtains among men. What God says, is true, whether men receive or reject it. The gospel, which is preached on the authority of God's truth, is rejected by a large part of mankind;

tradionalists;
While Calvinists have been present in Southern Baptist life from its earliest days and have made very important contributions to our history and theology, the majority of Southern Baptists do not embrace Calvinism.

Dagg;
According to God's method of grace, as revealed in this holy word, the salvation of men is made dependent on their belief of the gospel. It is a test of genuine faith, that it cordially receives those parts of divine truth which are least acceptable to the carnal heart.

Hence it arises, that the doctrine of election, or, which is the same thing, of God's sovereignty is the bestowment of his grace, often becomes the point at which a sinner's submission to God is tested.

When this doctrine is cordially received, the sinner's rebellion against God ceases.
When he yields to the sovereignty of God in bestowing eternal life at his pleasure, he admits that sovereignty in everything else.

How much soever he may permit the monarch of the universe to do what he pleases in smaller matters, if he refuses to yield to his sovereignty in the matter of highest importance, his submission to God is partial, and the spirit of rebellion has not departed.
