Justification and Faith
There is an important distinction we need to make. A man is saved (justified) by faith in Christ alone for salvation. A man who trusts in his own works will be lost.

As is often the case, Ray Comfort has found a succinct way of putting the matter of my objective as an evangelistic apologist (link). The goal is to drive people toward the gospel, toward faith in the crucified and risen Christ alone for salvation. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

The Gates of Hell shall not Prevail Against the Church
This phrase “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” is one I hear used often and misused often. The one point everyone seems to recognize correctly is that “it” refers to the church.

Note to Blasphemer
Someone (presumably the same guy who is also the forger mentioned in a previous post) has been busy blaspheming God in the comboxes of this blog, and having his posts speedily rejected for publication.
