  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Tower of Babel. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The wording has been challenged before and there is a strong consensus in favour of the factual representation of the scholarly position. Take it to the article talk page if you disagree. bonadea contributions talk 06:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply


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
