. . . I must ask this, because you seem to have condemned "millions" who have put their faith in Christ simply because their faith is too simple for you, when the gospel is simple in design, even as God openly invites us to delve deeper into the mystery of His Word.
First of all, why and on what basis would you imagine (truly your statements about me are nothing more than the fruit of your own imagination and ignorance of me personally) that I have "grown cold"? Are you somehow saying that my passion for the lost no longer exists because I love the truth? (Jh 17:17) As I come to know the truth more deeply, the fact is, my passion grows. And, D.v., it will continue in this manner until I am called home.

But now to your judgment upon me which is based upon your mistaken notion that these "millions" have actually believed upon the Christ of the Scriptures with a true and living faith, wrought in them by the work of the Holy Spirit. I thought I was clear enough when I wrote that the preaching of a spurious "another gospel", which is so popular today and infamously known as "Sandemanianism" and theologically as semi-Pelagianism can only produce (leaving room for sovereign intervention in spite of it) a spurious faith and self-deception in regard to being reconciled to God. Whited sepulchres are no substitute for the righteousness of Christ. (Matt 23:17, 29; cf. Rom 10:2; Hos 4:6) Playing "churchianity" will not and cannot save a soul. Yet what I do know is that God has His elect among the people's of the earth. And through the preaching of the true Gospel of free grace, those who have been ordained to eternal life will be "made alive" and believe upon Christ. (Ps 110:3; Jh 6:37; 10:16; 27; Acts 13:48; 18:10; et al) It is sometimes given to me to plant, other times to water. But it is God's sovereign power and right to give the increase. Salvation is of the Lord. (Jonah 2:9)

In His Grace,
