… is better than the Boston Tea Party. The only updates in this direction is added criticism of Erroll Hulse who, as is well known, stands in a personal feud with friends of Prof. Engelsma, and a brief mention of Donald MacLeod.
After criticising the Arminianism of John R. Rice, Engelsma explains that the doctrine of supralapsarianism, to which he holds, does not automatically make a person a Hyper. In defining both supralapsarianism and sublapsarianism, however, Engelsma is …

… here, however, that the name Gospel Standard is being used as an umbrella term by Iain and Erroll Hulse for those whose Calvinism differs from their new Grotian interpretation of it. Erroll Hulse called me a Gospel Standard man at a time when I had no idea who they were. I have written to h im several times, asking h im to justify his continued accusation but he chooses to snub me. When I found out who the GS were, I wrote to them concerning their Declaration of Fai …
… Nevertheless, the BOT are re-animating dead Fullerism, with the help of such as Robert Oliver, Erroll Hulse and Michael Haykin, in an attempt to spread an alternative religion long thought extinct. Fuller did not see man as been totally fallen in his whole being but taught that he was still naturally good though morally defective. 5 All that was really fallen in man was his will to believe but the awareness of a will, indeed, a duty, to believe was still in man so that he was not …

Next, Editor Errol Hulse continues with John Gill – An Appreciation, presented as a review of The Life and Thought of John Gill (1697-1771), (ed. Michael Haykin). Here, Hulse ignores the facts of Gill’s own testimony to make what he calls ‘a fair assessment of the damage which emanated from his errors.’ Thus, though the book Hulse reviews chiefly depicts Gill as a great evangelist and soul-winner, his …

… of a half-way man by the papists. Pighius’s half-baked teaching is still with us as shown by Erroll Hulse’s The Great Invitation which speaks of ‘undeniable tensions’ in coming to faith, such as ‘Only God can save me; I must save myself’; sinners need a new heart but they are ‘responsible themselves for making themselves such a new heart.’
Pighius took the bait and wrote his Ten Books (really chapters) on Human Free Choice and Divine Grace published in …
John Gill and His Successors

… praise God. Here modern criticism of Gill’s preaching is truly unbalanced. For instance, Erroll Hulse in his Arminian-like work entitled The Free Offer, which leaves the vital parts of the gospel out, compares what he feels is Gill’s worst exposition of one passage of Scripture with what he feels is the very best of Spurgeon on quite different texts. What can be gained from such selective evidence? Had he compared Gill with Spurgeon on the same texts, he would have been amazed to …
… particular context.
The current common grace debate goes beyond these views. Murray, Hulse etc., rid the term of its common properties and affirm that saving grace is to be found in it, providing what Malcolm Watts calls ‘everybody’s Saviour’. This view makes the atonement superfluous and preaching unnecessary as studying the weather is superstitiously accepted as a way of finding God’s salvation. Paul in Romans 1-2 teaches that common grace, alias natural law, reveals …

The first article Why Andrew Fuller? resembles Nettles foreword to the Sprinkle Publications of Fuller’s Complete Works re-published in 1988. It is the usual positive introduction which one expects from such a foreword. However, neither the Reformation Today essay nor the Sprinkler Publications foreword is a study …
