Gregg Gilbert on what is and is not "The Gospel"
“Many of us would be helped in our preaching of the gospel by not just preaching the simple (though true) propositions of substitutionary atonement and justification by faith alone, but by re-embracing the epic of the Bible, placing those things in their proper place in the grand storyline. … But …” - 9 Marks

Brother Davis,
It likewise confuses me that those of a Calvinist persuasion (and I don’t know if you consider yourself Calvinist or Arminian) would be confused about this. As Larry commented, this was all part of Plan A.
It sounds like we occupy wholly different spheres of Christianity. Have fun in your camp. I’ll have fun in mine. Ciao.

“Should Protestants break fellowship with or excommunicate Protestant leaders such as Chandler, Gilbert, MacArthur, Piper, and Sproul if it is true that they have made mistakes about the true content and boundaries of the gospel? Absolutely not. This would be wildly inappropriate.”
Wow… just wow. This Matthew Bates, whom I have NEVER HEARD OF, has the unmitigated gall to write that sentence? Who is he? What has he done? MacArthur! Piper! Sproul! Yeah… they got the gospel wrong and you got it right…
You might want to check your ego before you write that book.
Bates is a younger scholar with three books out. I think he’s immature. He’s acting like it. I liked his second book. Disappointed in his comments. If you impugn Dever, JMac, Mohler, Sproul and say they have the framing of the Gospel wrong, then you’re young and immature.
