Fred,

One sermon in particular, “The Nature of Saving Faith” I believe, John stated how he had been gripped by this theology while preaching through Matthew’s gospel. It was clearly brand new to him. Hey, John had a pulpit ministry prior to embracing the eternal Sonship of the Second Person of the Trinity. He embraced heresy while in the pulpit in other words, so why the surprise that he had an illumination over Christ’s Lordship in salvation? We’re all evolving. I can’t wait for him to be knocked off his horse and to confess clearly and unambiguously the doctrines of particular redemption and covenant baptism! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" />
