The Bible is clear that those who are not under Christ's authority and led by the Spirit are still condemned by the law. It is clear that the law is not, and never was the means of salvation, but rather a teacher of what sin is in God's eyes and a teacher of the righteousness we must have by the Spirit of God which is given by faith in Christ, as well a warning to the rebellious of their danger if they don't repent.... We saw before though in Romans 8:1-4 that the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. But what if you still walk after the flesh? Are you free to live as you please, transgress God's law without fear, and yet still be saved? Absolutely not! God never gave promised salvation for those who live after the flesh. And yet preachers all over now tell their hearers that their eternal salvation is in no way impacted by the life they presently live! This is the evil of antinomianism!Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (Romans 3:31)

Lord I am fondly earnestly longing into thy holy likeness to grow; Thirsting for more and deeper communion, yearning they love more fully to know. Dead to the world would I be, O Father! Dead unto sin, alive unto thee; Crucify all the earthly within me, Emptied of sin and self may I be. I would be thine and serve thee forever, Filled with thy Spirit, lost in thy love; Come to my heart, Lord, come with anointing, Showers of grace send down from above. Open the wells of grace and salvation, Pour the rich streams deep into my heart; Cleanse and refine my thought and affection, Seal me and make me pure as thou art. Elisha A. Hoffman Do you sing this hymn? Do you mean it? This book will challenge you to match your life to your lip; and do what it takes to reach the goal of this hymn. God's Crucible is designed to accomplish these very aspirations in the life of every willing believer. It is His program, His only program; and if we are not striving to follow His program, then we are rejecting God's plan to save us.

The Works of John Fletcher have been the standard of Biblical doctrine and refutation of Reformed Theology since they were penned in the 18th century. This is volume three in the six volume series republished and meticulously re-typeset by Apprehending Truth Publishers. This is not a facsimile or photocopy but a completely new edition. The original work has been diligently checked and preserved in this edition.

- Do you realize that Jesus was the Word of God in the flesh; and that the Old Testament Scriptures were inspired by Him? (John 1:1-14; 2 Tim. 3:16) - Do you realize that the New Covenant was God's Moral Law written on the hearts of believers, and that only the Ceremonial Law, as a middle wall of partition between Jew and Gentile, was fulfilled in Christ as the Lamb of God and therefore done away in Christ? (Compare Heb. 8:10 and Eph. 2:13-16) - Do you realize that a New Covenant believer who walks in the Spirit is fulfilling the righteousness of Moses' Law? (Romans 8:4) - Do you realize that any prophet speaking contrary to God's inspired Word is a false prophet, and therefore Jesus must be interpreted as speaking consistent with God's Word? (Isa. 8:20; Matt. 22:29) - Do you realize the Old Testament Scriptures were the only Scriptures Jesus spoke of and the apostles had at the first? (John 10:35; Luke 24:45; Acts 17:11; 2 Tim. 3:15-17) - Do you realize Malachi foretold that Jesus would come and preach against adulterers and in the same prophecy commanded the people to keep obeying Moses' Law? (Malachi 3:1-5 and 4:4) - Do you realize that everything taught in the New Testament concerning marriage, divorce, and remarriage is consistent with God's moral law? (Romans 7:1; 1 Cor. 7:39) - Do you realize there is no evidence in church history or the Bible that the apostles or early Christians ever denied baptism and membership to converted couples due to divorce and remarriage in their past? - Do you realize the pilgrim church and Anabaptist believers did not deny baptism and church membership to couples with divorce and remarriage in their past? Do you wish to know what the Bible REALLY teaches about divorce and remarriage? ...then carefully read this book with an open and honest heart seeking only for truth!

NEW EXPANDED EDITION Did Jesus come to alter the Scriptures as it was delivered to Moses and other Old Testament writers? Has the entire Old Testament been abrogated and done away? What is the New Testament and its relation to the Old? What is the distinction between the Ceremonial Law and the Moral Law? Were Old Testament saints saved by works, while New Testament believers are now saved by grace? All these questions and more are answered in this important expose of the doctrine of Christ as compared to the writings of Moses. God has declared, "For I am the Lord, I change not." (Malachi 3:6a) and that with Him is "no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17) God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? - Numbers 23:19 The Church of today has been swept away by many and various winds of doctrine because of a simple lack of a comprehensive, Biblical understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Is "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever," (Hebrews 13:8) or has He changed His mind and corrected the Old Testament which He Himself inspired?

The Biblical doctrine of "Christian Perfection" has been denied even by those who call themselves by the name of Christ. "Defining Biblical Holiness" takes a look at this all important doctrine by casting our gaze into the past, and attempting to clearly define the truth presented in this doctrine. John Wesley and Asa Mahan both had a firm grasp upon a Biblical understanding of the teaching of holiness and Christian Perfection. Their two works on the subject, along with an new introduction, are here presented in juxtaposition in order to shed light on the current antinomian trend which continues unabated in the modern professing "Church".

True Christians have been persecuted throughout the Church Age, and in some parts of the world continue in great trials. But the Savior is always there providing comfort and strength. No marvel, for Christ warned his followers that this would happen. Here, in Martyr of the Catacombs, we get a glimpse of the heinous persecutions in Ancient Rome and look inside the lives of those Christians whose very lives depended upon the place of refuge beneath the city of Rome. Apprehending Truth presents this Christian classic as a reminder that some remain in harm's way, and a sober warning to the complacent church of the 21st century, persecution of the real Church is an ever increasing possibility. "These are they which came out of great tribulation And have washed their robes And made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God And serve him day and night in his temple; And He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more; neither thirst any more; Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat; For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, And shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

This volume in Apprehending Truth's presentation of the Works of John Fletcher, Five Checks to Antinomianism, is a corpus in letters rebutting and refuting the errors which belie a theology so foreign to the dictates of Scripture. With the care of a surgeon's scalpel Fletcher removes the pestilent infection from the body of theological elucidation and this antinomian malady called Calvinism is systematically diagnosed and exposed for the fraud that it is.

In this second volume of John Fletcher's Works, he continues his assault on the perversions of Calvinism and its insubstantial misrepresentation of those they label Arminians and Pelagians. An examination of established creeds, both false and genuine, becomes necessary in any serious debate of the issue and his exhibition and comparison of Scripture with Scripture set forth in parallel scales, brings truth to the forefront when the false way of Reformed Theology would just as well keep it obscured. Fletcher's genius is embedded in his genial comportment with the principles and precepts of the Scriptures. With such a grasp on Biblical injunctions of inward piety and superficies coupled with the necessity of proper hermeneutic, Fletcher belies the tendency of Calvinism's undermining of spiritual nutrition inherent in the Word of God. Never has there been a time of greater need for dogmatic insistence on the veracious handling of the Scriptures than now. With men waxing worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived, the importance of clinging to proper doctrine is essential. Hence, Apprehending Truth Publishers presents for your consideration, The Works of John Fletcher, Volume 2: Creeds and Scripture Scales.
