LORDSHIP SALVATION

A BIBLICAL EVALUATION AND RESPONSE

DR. CHARLES C. BING

Lordship Salvation

What is it about?

A jailer asked the question of Paul and Silas, "Sirs what must I do to be saved?" (Acts 16:30). Paul and Silas responded by simply saying "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31). What does it mean to believe? At issue is the nature of the prerequisite response necessary for a person to receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. This in-depth book was written to evaluate, critique, and respond to the position commonly called "Lordship Salvation."
