Hyper-Grace, Open Theism, and Other Dangerous Doctrines Exposed

Welcome to the second installment of our series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit! In Part 2, we continue our deep dive into one of the most pressing questions in the church today: Are the miraculous gifts—healing, prophecy, miracles—still available for believers?
We explore why many hold a “cessationist” view (that gifts have ceased) and examine the biblical evidence showing that God still moves in power. Drawing from personal stories of healings at Westminster Chapel, we reaffirm that God’s character does not change—He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, we also learn the importance of approaching Him with humility, saying, “If you will, you can,” just as the leper did in Matthew 8.
Beyond these foundational truths, we delve into two crucial disciplines—daily Bible reading and prayer—as keys to walking in greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit. We highlight dangerous doctrines like “hyper-grace” and “open theism” and explain why they undermine God’s sovereignty. Finally, we share life-giving insights from Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on experiencing the Holy Spirit directly and personally.
Join us for this encouraging conversation, and discover how solid theology and deep devotion can help you stand firm, discern the times, and truly experience God’s Spirit today.

Please pray for me. For about 15 years I have been struggling with debilitating sickness that's made my life unberable. I am in my mid 30s and would love to still have strength to serve my Savior and Lord.
By the stripes of Jesus I have been healed. Thank you all 🙏🏻
Please also pray that God grants me strength to go through this valley with humility and thankfulness.
Please also pray that the fire of Holy Spirit would be with me.
God bless you all, precious family ❤
You’re a marvel and a wonder! ❤️
Plus I am fascinated how a boy from KY could end up going to Oxford and ending up pastoring a church in London. 😀
