“AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE”

THE DOCTRINAL CATECHISM FOR THE DOCTRINES
OF GRACE aka Calvinism

The Doctrines Of Grace incorporate the following:– Greek logic, Roman Catholicism, Augustinianism, and Calvinism under their new term
‘The Doctrines Of Grace’

Q: What is justification? 

A: It is the grace that makes us friends with God

Q: Can a sinner merit this justifying grace? 

A: No, he cannot; because all the good works which the sinner performs, while he is in the state of mortal sin, are dead works, which have no merit to sufficient to justify.  

Q: Is it then the foundation of The Doctrines Of Grace, that the sinner in mortal sin, cannot merit the grace of justification? 

A: Yes; we wholeheartedly agree with the decree of the Roman Catholic Council of Trent 1547, that categorically states “… that neither faith nor good works preceding justification, can merit the grace of justification.” 

Q: How then is a sinner justified?

A: He is justified gratuitously by the pure mercy of God, not on account of his own or any human merit, but purely through the merits of Jesus Christ; for Jesus Christ is our only mediator of redemption, who alone, by his passion and death, has reconciled us to his Father.

The Doctrines of Grace wrongly teach that justification is by an act of God’s grace and this justification is God’s renovating act within man.

Without this new birth, or regenerating act of the Holy Spirit, The Doctrines of Grace aka Calvinism declare that sinners can never be justified.

The Doctrines of Grace aka Calvinism wrongly state “If men were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since it is in that new birth that is bestowed upon them, through the merit of Christ’s passion, that it is the grace by which they are made just.”

The Doctrines of Grace blasphemously explain the justification of Paul in Romans chapters 3 and 4 as follows:
“The justification of which Paul the apostle speaks is the infusion of sanctifying grace, which alone renders a person supernaturally pleasing in the sight of God. But justification, that is, an infusion of sanctifying grace, cannot be merited by us; it is an entirely gratuitous gift of God.”

Dear Reader, if you cannot see much wrong with The Doctrines of Grace set before you in the preceding interview, then, Dear Friend, you are Calvinist, that is, a Roman Catholic, without knowing it. The above has not been presented to offend. Romanism, Calvinism and The Doctrines Of Grace are one and the same – they are merely The Religion of Human Nature … they are the mystery of iniquity (2 Thessalonians 2:7).
