Inclusivism Explained
and Defended
PLEASE NOTE: THE FULLY UDATED VERSION OF THIS PAGE WITH SEVERAL ADDITIONAL ARTICLES IS HERE.
This is a page of articles
explaining and confirming that Evangelical Inclusivism is the
most wholly biblical viewpoint to hold on the salvation status of the
human race; while we ourselves support 'New Covenant theology' and 'Four Point Calvinism' (rejecting 'limited atonement' teaching),
we must
acknowledge that 'Calvinism' (as a hardened religious philosophy which
developed after Calvin's death) has encouraged a pessimistic
view of human salvation which is simply unscriptural! By the way, we
firmly separate ourselves from the liberal form of Inclusivism
which John Hick and others teach which denies the authority of the
Word of God. We also tend to reject 'emergent church' teaching even though it is somewhat sympathetic to Inclusivism.
Not sure what Inclusivism is? For a complete
(but simple) explanation, go here first:
Theological
Inclusivism, Exclusivism, Universalism etc, etc., What Do All These
Terms Mean?
Now, if you are really ready to delve into the
good news of Christian Evangelical Inclusivism, here are some
essays:
(By the way, after each essay, pressing 'Back' on your
browser will bring you back here)
AN
EVANGELICAL INCLUSIVIST DEFENDS EVANGELICAL INCLUSIVISM
(A
complete approach which is both philosophical and theological, backed
up with many Scriptures. B.G. of Kentucky made this generous
comment, "I have been a Christian for 40 years and a minister
for 20 of them and this is the most encouraging thing I have ever
read; moreover, I cannot refute the writer at any point, although he
overturns many things I have spoken from the pulpit").
TO
EVANGELIZE THE LOST - WHY WE SHOULD DO IT
(A lighter
approach in quite a brief article).
WILL
MOST OF THE HUMAN RACE GO TO HELL?
(Quite theological, but
well worth persevering with).
CAN
REGENERATION OCCUR WITHOUT A REPENTANCE EXPERIENCE?
(In which
Mr Brace tackles several points related to Inclusivism. A highly
encouraging article. For me, this is the most complete and
successful defense of Evangelical Inclusivism one may find anywhere:
I believe that any deeply rooted in the Bible, who can put aside
their doctrinal prejudices/presuppositions will come to agree with
the writer).
RE-EXAMINING
THE TRUE ROOTS OF EXCLUSIVISM
THE
UTTER FOLLY OF CHRISTIANS ARGUING OVER HELL!
(This is, I
believe, highly informative but also highly encouraging. Bad news for
those who revel in hellfire!!)
THE
CASE FOR UNLIMITED ATONEMENT
(Ron Rhodes argues the
case for Unlimited Atonement very successfully. Unlimited
Atonement is not exactly the same thing as Evangelical Inclusivism,
although Evangelical Inclusivists are bound to support Unlimited
Atonement. Mr Rhodes' personal position on this, however, is almost
identical to mine).
A
ROMANS ONE ARGUMENT FOR INCLUSIVISM
(This outstanding essay
appear on the internet completely anonymously, but it is excellent).
WHAT
ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD?
(This is Glenn Miller's
superb defence of the Inclusive God. Miller is a
philosopher/theologian who is an exceptionally clear and logical
thinker and refuses to be swayed by any denominational prejudices.
His knowledge of the Holy Bible is exceptional, as is his knowledge
of early Christian history and every conceivable creed and
confession. This is a man whose views just cannot be discounted!)
