Particular Redemption and the Free Offer

… radically from Fuller and free offer Fullerites on the scope of the atonement, arguing that his Particular-Redemption-Free-Offer-Duty-Faith mock-gospel has nothing to do with its extent. 2 He must say this to justify his own continued use of the terms.

They have now nothing in common. Gay is bravely …

The Difference Between John Gill’s Free Declaration of the Gospel to Sinners and the Banner of Truth’s ‘Free Offer’

     Dear Brother:  What is the difference between Gill’s ‘free declaration of peace and pardon, righteousness, life and salvation to poor sinners’ and the ‘free offer’ and ‘duty faith’ of those who deny outright that Gill appealed to all men everywhere to repent and believe the gospel? The difference is that Gill keeps to the gospel as fulfilling what the law could not do, …

     The witness and teaching of Dr John Gill (1697-1771) so impressed his friends Augustus Toplady and James Hervey that they maintained his work would still be of great importance to future generations.
