by Greg Tidwell In a comment to my post, John Mark Hicks wrote: I think you mischaracterize our (Greg Taylor and myself) position in Down in the River to Pray. We actually state that salvation is both an event and a process (cf. pp. 254-55), and that the baptismal event is a moment where we [...]

by Greg Tidwell Jay; You have done a good job of summarizing my beliefs. You wrote: To make sure we’re not talking past each other, we want to be sure we’re understanding you when you say “place one in danger of divine judgment.” We take the phrase to mean that God is patient with his [...]

by Greg Tidwell Jay; I admire your persistence and appreciate the passion for understanding which drives you forward.

With a lawyer’s dexterity, Jay begins by providing a catalogue of conservative preachers whom he vilifies as composers of checklists. He proceeds to link [...]

If you check around the internet a bit, you’ll find that GraceConversation is developing a reputation for less-than-Christian comments. I think we deserve the criticism, and it’s my fault. You see, I urged the other participants to agree to set this site up without moderation, for a number of reasons. First, my experience over at [...]

I just received a note from Greg, explaining that he has several personal and church commitments coming up. He concludes, Hopefully, I will be back in our discussion by the end of next week.
