Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr. – One of the great things about the Good News that George Whitefield grasped when he said that the Arminian gospel is no gospel at all is that, in order for the good news to be “good”, it has to not just be abstract. It has to have the capacity to enter into us, to effect a change in us. If God made it possible for us to be saved and left us in our Total Depravity, that’s sort of hypothetical good news. To use an analogy, the semi-Pelagian free will gospel is like taking a blind man to an art auction and then offering to purchase for him the painting he considers to be the most beautiful. This, of course, would be absurd. The blind man must first be given new eyes – a feat he can not accomplish by simply willing himself to see. Living as we do in an age that has been so influenced by humanism, many Christians today view the Biblical Augustinian/Lutheran/Calvinistic monergistic position concerning salvation as strange, unbelievable and wrong—even heretical. They would do well to consider what else and who else they would have to dismiss as also being in error. History is filled with champions of the faith who considered the synergistic view of free will as being directly opposed to both God’s sovereignty and the true Gospel. Ironically, many are revered by lots of modern day semi-Pelagians – Protestant and Roman Catholic alike. Among these defenders of the reformed view of free will and salvation are: Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones 1919-1981 Pastor of Westminster Chapel in London Jonathan Edwards 1703-1758 Another key leader of The Great Awakening John Bunyan 1628-1688 Pastor and author of the classic work “Pilgrim’s Progress” August Toplady 1740-1778 Writer of the classic hymn “Rock of Ages” Dr. John Owen 1616-1683 Arguably England’s greatest non-conformist, pastor and theologian William Wilberforce 1759-1833 English parliamentarian and champion of the abolition of slavery John A. Broadus 1628-1688 127
Namesake of Broadman Press J.P. Boyce 1827-1888 Founder of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary B.H. Carroll 1843-1914 Founder of Southwestern Theological Seminary Roger Williams 1604-1683 Pastor and founder of the very first Baptist Church in America William Carey 1761-1834 The Baptist minister known as “The Father of Modern Missions” John Foxe 1516-1587 Author of “Foxe’s Book of the Martyrs” J.C. Ryle 1816-1900 The great Anglican bishop A.W. Pink 1886-1952 Influential author and Baptist minister Dr. Francis Schaeffer 1912-1984 Author of the classic “How Shall We Then Live” John Newton 1725-1807 Writer of the classic hymn “Amazing Grace” Matthew Henry 1662-1712 Of the “Matthew Henry Commentary” on the whole Bible Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892 Pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and known as “The Prince of Preachers” And these are just a few. Other champions could be mentioned who currently serve the church today. Among them: J.I. Packer D. James Kennedy 128
