The Father's Christ is not the Natural Christ of a Man's Own Making

[KenH]

"That opinion of free-will, (so cried up), will be easily confuted, as it is by scripture, in the heart, which has had any spiritual dealing with Jesus Christ as to the application of His merits, and subjection to His righteousness. Christ is every way too magnificent a person for poor nature to close with or to apprehend. Christ is so infinitely holy, nature never dare look at Him; so infinitely good, nature can never believe Him to be such, when it lies under a full sight of sin. Christ is too high and glorious for nature so much as to touch. There must be a divine nature first put into the soul, to make it lay hold on Him, He lies so infinitely beyond the sight or reach of nature.

That Christ which natural free-will can apprehend, is but a natural Christ of a man's own making, not the Father's Christ, nor Jesus the Son of the living God, to whom none can come without the Father's drawing, John 6:44."

Do you think these free willers are ushering in Arianism? I’m seeing it! And it is a stink to the senses.

Free-willism ushers in all sorts of false teaching, being that the advocacy of free-willism itself is a false teaching.

And thus begins the attack on the Trinity.

Which Baptists are you referring to? Certainly not the Particular Baptists. So how far back do you want to go?

Individual soul liberty. We believe that each person must make a personal decision of repentance and faith in Christ. (See Romans 10:9–17, 14:1–23.)​

What is the doctrinal position of Particular Baptists on Individual Soul Liberty?
