Did a Radio Free Geneva today reviewing this video by Bob Wilkins on Calvinists and assurance. Since he mentioned me by name, seemed appropriate to revisit this important issue.

“ Great Sermon! ” I agree.We shall concentrate on Christ Jesus so that when we fall in sin,we get warned and rebuked and chastened;when we want to obey HIM,He tells us what the law really means.
Our Helper teaches us in everything with God's words,so we won't misinterpret His words and misuse His law that condem the guiltless(Mathew 12:7) and stumble in judgement.Only the Commandments are eternal
and unconditional laws (Mayhew5:17~20;17:17,Deuteronomy5:22, Exodus34:27~28, 1Corinthians7:19).Other rules are to serve God's saving plan,they are conditional (Hebrew9:10,10:1, Colossians 2:20~23), and also lower and smaller than the Commandments(Mathew 19:8~9,23:23~24). That's why Sampson touched corpses (Judges14:6,19,15:14), Abigail disobey her husband (1Samuel25), Deborah judged Israel people (judges 4:4), Ezekiel ate dirty food(Ezekiel 4:12~15), David ate shewbread (Mathew 12:1~8).They were all not guilty.For they were not under the law,but under grace, which means they were led by the Lord Almighty,who is greater than those rules.
Christ is all and in all.We shall focus on Christ and deny our own wills, knowledges intelligence, preset positions and everything.So that we can boast in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, and keep growing in the grace and knowledge of Him.

“ Great...as always, Dr. White! ” This is an excellent response to the Bob Wilkins' claim that Reformed persons cannot be assured of their salvation. Dr. White identifies the errors of the anti-lordship position and walks through 1 John 5:1-15 to present a reformed perspective of assurance which is based solely upon the work of Christ AND evidenced by our obedience to him! This reminds me of Philippians 2:12-13 (work out your salvation) and 2 Peter 1:3-11 (confirm your election).
James White is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. He is a professor, having taught Greek, New Testament Textual Criticism, Church history, and various topics in the field of apologetics. He has authored or...
