Oh, and I happen to thoroughly agree with MacArthur on the lordship salvation issue. THOROUGHLY! This is where his ability to dissect serves the church profoundly well. Faith is a term too loosely defined in today's evangelicalism. It should encompass knowledge of the truth, belief in the truth, and obedience to the truth. That is faith.

Regarding Swindoll, he has bought into the trendy comtemplative spirituality and really disappointed me. I think it is a grave error. I won't label him a heretic, but I can't listen to or read him with the same delight. So I understand people's difficulties in dealing with these errors. But I think we must learn to discern between heresy and human error. And we should be merciful and try to persuade each other first.

Amen. We live what we believe.
