Welcome!
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia, Brandonadams! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! --Flex (talk/contribs) 01:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Free Offer of the Gospel
[edit]The phrase "Free Offer of the Gospel" was definitely NOT introduced by John Murray! A search of Google Books will show you the exact same phrase used in Thomas Boston's "Human Nature in Its Fourfold State" (first published in 1720) and is related to the phrase in the answer to Question 31 of the Shorter Catechism "Effectual calling is the work of God’s Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the gospel." --PeterR (talk) 21:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
