Gordon H. Clark rejects Lordship Salvation's heretical claim that no promise is to be the object of our faith. Writing against dispensationalism, which leading Lordship Salvation proponent John MacArthur believes, Clark states:
"Israel and the New Testament Gentiles were not only as a matter of fact called out by the same God, but they were called out to the same salvation from sin. This salvation in both cases depended on FAITH IN THE same PROMISES." (Trinity Review, March / April 1980)
Monty, thank you again for a great teaching done with plain and easy to understand language. On the contrary, it is funny how the Lordship heretics like to muddle around with words and then cry when they are called on it. Sola Fide.
MacAuthur hates assurance of salvation because he has none! Good point one doesn't believe the gospel if he doesn't believe the promise. John 6:47. 1 John 2:25.
One doesn't believe in Jesus if he doesn't believe the promise of eternal life.
MacArthur only believes in what is called "conjectural assurance."
This is why he has no certainty. He does not believe in Absolute Predestination, which is asserted by the Gospel and its promises. MacArthur believes in both free will and predestination, that is, the heresy of irreconcilable paradox. Any attempt to assert human free will makes Christ but half a Savior. There is no such thing as human free will. If there was, then God would not be omnipotent--nor omniscient.
