Now, Rev. Petter may not be conscious of what he says in these words, but our readers must know that he speaks the language of pure modernism. In these words, Rev. Petter advocates the all-inclusive church of the modernist. I challenge anyone to take this statement of the Rev. Petter, and the exposi

“This question the apostle puts in a very specific form, at least by implication: Is the word of God fallen out, become of none effect? Did God fail to realize his promise to the seed of Abraham? “It is this question which he answers in the first part of Romans 9. “And how does he answer it? “Doe
In the meantime, however, I must continue with my examination of the texts on which the Rev. Petter allegedly bases his conception that faith is a condition. Of course, I must also hold him responsible for the task of explaining his conditional theology in the light of our Reformed confessions. For
Now Rev. Petter. Is he a Pelagian and therefore a heretic? Of this he has been accused. He believes in conditions, does he not? Does he deny the fundamental truths of Reformed or Prot. Ref. doctrine? I haven't found it in any of his writings. Does he deny unconditional predestination, total depravit
