About this episode

Pastor Mike and guest Austin Hobbs discuss the nature of saving faith and critique the flaws in Jeffrey E. Wilson’s booklet, 'The Authentic Gospel.'

Pastor Mike and special guest Austin Hobbs delve into the essential nature of saving faith, by discussing the flaws of Jeffrey E. Wilson’s booklet, “The Authentic Gospel." The discussion explores the historical "firestorm" between free grace theology and lordship salvation, critiquing the dangers of "easy believism"—the idea that one can be saved without becoming a disciple—while also warning against the theological pendulum swinging too far toward legalism. Centered on the doctrine of “Sola Fide” (Faith Alone), the hosts distinguish between the Roman Catholic view of infused grace and the Protestant conviction that justification is a free gift received by faith, protecting the purity of the gospel from being tied to human works.
