1/2/2024 0 Comments Tim hawkinsChristians not knowing the difference is a huge problem in our day. This “rest” concept can certainly be applied to justification, but like all New Calvinists Hawkins applies it to sanctification as well. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.ġPeter 1:5 – For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. Romans 12:10 – Love one another with brotherly affection. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, Hawkins followed by saying that being a Christian means resting in what Christ has done, and he prefaced several like remarks with, “that’s the gospel.” Is that true? Our Christian walk is resting in what Jesus has done, and that’s the gospel? Many citations from the Bible that refute this notion could be stated-here are a few:ġThessalonians 4:9 – Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Even John Macarthur has been teaching this recently. In New Calvinist circles, the following is in vogue: teaching that Christians do works that they are unaware are in the Bible because it is Christ doing the work and not us. Throughout the Bible God states that he will act if we do certain things first. He began by saying that God always works first in our lives i.e., everything we do is first initiated by God. Hawkins presented the gospel to a Christian audience in the clear stated context of sanctification, or worded another way: our Christian walk. Hawkins makes several statements while presenting the gospel in the following clip (end of post) that are blatant scriptural contradictions. In the following video he promotes the New Calvinist progressive justification that dominates the present-day church. Frankly, I don’t care if Hawkins has to be like most in our day that chase after every wind of doctrine as long as he keeps it to himself but unfortunately, he doesn’t. If a good comedian who doesn’t need smut to make people laugh sticks to comedy, what he believes about the gospel is between him and God.īut if he is going to use his act to spread a false gospel, that is a whole other matter, and unfortunately, that’s the case. I have always enjoyed the comedy of the tremendously gifted Tim Hawkins and never made it a point to find out what he believes about the gospel. It’s maintaining your justification in sanctification by “resting.” Unfortunately, these anti-gospel ideas brought applause from the audience. Works in sanctification is the same as works in justification. Also please place any small toys or toy sets in Ziploc bags to prevent any lost items.See the problem?
