I suppose you may have failed to notice that fact.<BR/><BR/>I do know, however, that he often referred to some of his contemporaries who evidently had a mental block when it came to addressing the Gospel to the unsaved and urging them to accept Christ as Savior. His sermon on "The Warrant of Faith" addressed such a matter. You can find that sermon at <BR/><A HREF="http://www.spurgeongems.org/" REL="nofollow">Spurgeongems</A>Bob L.

They dare not preach the Gospel to everybody—they try to preach it only to the elect." Nobody I know of in the "Reformed" camp who fits that description.Rev.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01921507566144608199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430424979861514060.post-6524341015842612532009-02-24T22:03:00.000-06:002009-02-24T22:03:00.000-06:00Bob:Spurgeon certainly cut his own swath and the L...Bob:<BR/><BR/>Spurgeon certainly cut his own swath and the Lord blessed him. Many Calvinists of his day did not approve of his methods. Ironically, many of the Reformed men and women in our day who hold forth Spurgeon as a Calvinist and evangelist would have spoken against him had they lived in his day, for the very methods and practices they speak against are the very things Spurgeon practiced. They would have sided with those Calvinists who opposed Spurgeon.<BR/><BR/>Let our Reformed friends think pause and ponder these things.Ian D.

I wonder how many presnt-day "Lordship salvation" preachers have such a Gospel as this one. They're too busy trying to determine if a seeker has not only faith in Christ, but also at least a willingness to obey Christ after he's saved to give them a simple Gospel message.</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks, Bruce, for the comment.
