Episode notes
Assurance Should Rest On Christ Not Performance
- Assurance shifts from Christ to performance when Christians base salvation on current submission.
- John Moffitt warns that measuring surrender breeds pride or terror, so assurance must rest on Christ's finished work and union with Him.
Distinguish Fruit From Cause In Salvation
- Fruit (repentance and obedience) and means (Spirit's regeneration) are distinct steps in salvation.
- Moffitt argues Lordship proponents sometimes conflate fruit with the cause, confusing how salvation is received versus how it flows out.
Context Matters For Jesus' Rebukes
- Jesus' rebukes of religious hypocrites often target false self-justification under the law, not believers who merely profess facts.
- Moffitt cautions against using those passages to demand pre-conversion discipleship as the gospel itself.
