Neo-Calvinism: Refuting Error (No Law) ~ Bobby R. Holmes

No Law
Bobby R. Holmes and Mark Roberts

I. Error
A. Neo-Calvinists say:

1. "We are under grace, not law. We must not depend on what we do, but on God."

B. Passages Misused:

1. Romans 6:14-15
2. Galatians 3:11

II. Truth
A. Bible teaches we are under law and grace

1. We are not under a law system whereby man works and earns his salvation:

a) Ephesians 2:8-11
b) Romans 3:23; 10:5

2. However, we are under law:

a) 1 Corinthians 9:21
b) Romans 8:2
c) Galatians 6:2

3. This law is the Gospel, with all its accompanying commands, privileges, and provisions:

a) James 1:25; 2:12
b) Romans 8:2, 16-17

B. Confusion about Grace

1. Neo-Calvinists confuse basis for salvation (Christ) and the conditions for salvation (obedience).
2. Is any really teaching, "I go to services three times a week and have been baptized and so I do not need Jesus"?
3. Man must obey the Gospel, the law of Christ!when you hear it!
