"We've all seen the tracts, “How to Be 100% Sure of Heaven” detailing a five-to-six step program capped off by reciting the sinner's prayer. Perhaps we've been led or even led someone through "The Roman's Road" or "The Four Spiritual Laws."

But is the gospel primarily about our own salvation? How we can go to heaven when we die? Or is it somehow even bigger, grander, and more whole-cosmos oriented than this?"

Book cover for To a Thousand Generations: Infant Baptism - Covenant Mercy to the Children of God
Some still may be looking for an express warrant, or unambiguous example of an infant baptism in the New Testament. But this is a false criterion, which no one can consistently apply. For example, should women receive the Lord’s Supper? ...more

This is a very strong argument.

Why do we give the Lord's Supper (a sacrament) to women? There is no NT precedent for it. All the relevant verses say men/man/he, and it is only men depicted to partake.…

C.S. Lewis
“The use of fashions in thought is to distract men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is in the least danger, and fix its approval on the virtue that is nearest the vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there’s a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under.”
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“The word translated “favor” in Genesis 6:8 is the Hebrew hen, which also means “grace.” With that in mind, there are two ways that this pivotal moment of the biblical narrative could be taken. The first is that Noah, because he was righteous and blameless in his own strength, attracted God’s attention and found divine favor. The second is that Noah was given grace on God’s free initiative, not because of any good behavior or spark of potential on Noah’s part, and that as a result of receiving grace he is righteous and blameless. Both the fuller context of a biblical understanding of God’s undeserved grace and the order of the propositions in verses 8 and 9 militate in favor of the latter interpretation.”

“Esther Meek summarizes this uncontractual dynamic in the following way: “Law, so prominent in Scripture, is not to be understood as creating relationship. Rather, law nourishes relationship.”11”

“Neither we nor the universe are necessary. We may be important, precious, glorious even, but preciously and gloriously unnecessary.”
Christopher Watkin, Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture

“It is just as matter of fact as the “there was” and “it was so” of verses 3, 7, 9, 11, 15, 24, and 30. God speaks, and it exists. God speaks, and it is good. Both ontology (the existence of things) and axiology (the goodness of things) are equally and inseparably dependent on the divine word.41”
