I believe there IS one truth, there IS one true Gospel, and any other is a false gospel. What I have set forth in this thread is the truth. Your Antinomian mixture of law and grace is another gospel. Whatever names and writers you can run to for support in your views won’t help one bit to make them true. Error is error, whoever teaches it.
How true it is that no matter how many times you run to Philpot, Huntington or any other Antinomian who has been found wanting and rejected by the vast majority of scholars, theologians, pastors and laymen throughout history, all of which were men of profound faith and who held tenaciously to Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus and Soli Deo Gloria, it isn't going to change the truth that believers are saved by grace from beginning to end AND that the moral law of God is forever binding upon them as a rule of life, as it is pleasing to God that they be holy as He is holy.

To mix law with faith in sanctification is to draw back from the purity of the Gospel rule of living by faith. It is to mix faith with the works of the law.
Wrong again, oh ye who despises the very character of God, which is revealed in His commandments. There is no intermixing of faith and works, but rather we hold that true saving faith is exemplified and exhibited in good works; the keeping of God's immutable holy law. (Jam 1:26) "Thou shalt not steal", for example, is no less binding upon an believer as it is upon an unbeliever. We are not "free" to sin, the transgression of the law. But rather we are free in Christ from the penalty of the law so that we may freely live according to that law, having been redeemed from its curse. We are to be analogs of the Lord Christ, our righteousness, Whose life is paradigmatic of how we are to live before God.

In His Grace,
