• Is Self-Loathing Piety Necessary?

  
  — Authority:
  Growth in grace, while accompanied by increasing power to abstain from actual sin, has no power to annihilate the spirit of sin, commonly called original sin. The revelation of its indwelling is more and more perfect and appalling as we advance from conversion. Hence, in Calvinistic writings especially, we find that ...

  — Authority:
  by Ronnie Rogers 3. Limited Atonement: Christ’s death is of infinite value, but He died salvifically only for the unconditionally elect.
