Free Grace
Free Grace. Spurgeon used that term to describe the grace of God in dealing with sinners. Spurgeon's view of grace was that it changed a sinner, from that of a slave of sin, to one who loved and obeyed God from the heart - to wit, a new creation; a slave of righteousness, a slave of God.
I wish to start a new group blog, one devoted to showing the blog world what role Calvinists have played in evangelizing the lost. I would love for the blog world to see the consuming fire that Calvinists through the ages have had to see the lost come to Christ. Would not it also be great to see the new blog used to clear up any other misconceptions one might have about Calvinism.
What if we called that new blog "Free Grace" in order to pull that term back into the camp in which it belongs.
Are there any takers??

Mark,
Sounds good. It is a shame that the free grace term has been hijacked by the easy believism or cheap grace proponents. Calvinism is the only doctrinal position that is truly free grace in that God provides all that is required for eternal life. Real free grace (Calvinism) offers eternal life by grace through God given faith. False free grace (easy believism) offers eternal life by grace plus human decision faith. One is totally from God and the other is God plus man. There is no boasting in one and boasting in the other.
I ask anyone, which one is the true free grace system?

Mark,
"Free Grace" would be a good blog title. Count me in.
