You have been around long enough to know that edit warring against a long-standing consensus text is not appropriate. If not, please refresh your memory of WP:BRD and WP:EW. --bonadea contributions talk 06:17, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

L. E. BROWN

[edit]

L.E. Brown who wrote the article "Colonial America's rejection of Free grace theology", by referring to the Marrow is not saying "everybody who taught sola fide is free grace", no, if you read the point of the article he is claiming that Marrow was close to the Free grace definition of faith alone! The article claimed the same for the Antinomian controversy. Secondly for your other comments, you have misunderstood what Free grace means, it is somewhat of an umbrella term, for example Charles Ryrie said "Every Christian will bear spiritual fruit. Somewhere, sometime, somehow. Otherwise that person is not a believer. Every born-again individual will be fruitful. Not to be fruitful is to be faithless, without faith, and therefore without salvation.", such statements are in contradiction to Hodges and Wilkin, however Ryrie was still one of the main advocates of FGT, thus the definition of FGT is not "Denial of faith always leading into good works", but it is more about a denial of having to "repent of sins" to be justified (which the Marrow did deny) and a focus on extra nos assurance. I also tried to carefully say in the article, that the identification with the Marrow and Antinomians was the OPINION of L. E. Brown, to avoid saying it as undisputed facts. In conclusion, I did not misrepresent the source, and unless you have a reason to say that the source is invalid, the section should remain. However if you a reason to say that the source used is unreliable, I will agree on the deletion. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 08:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, many or most Free grace theologians deny that faith will automatically lead into good works, but it is not the universal opinion.--ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 08:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
