theology

Missler, together with ˞ Zane C. Hodges, was one of the representatives of Free Grace Theology , a conception of soteriology rooted in classical dispensationalism and developed primarily in the confrontation with Calvinism , which is the consistent implementation of the Reformation knowledge based on “ justification alone Belief "and is based on the following basic assumptions:

  1. The eternal life is for a gift Jesus Christ through his atoning death on the cross has been paid in full and that alone through faith received at him, apart from works of any kind of faith is understood as agreeing to the facts of salvation. Avoidance of sin , surrender of life to Christ and obedience to biblical commandments are not part of saving faith, but belong to the realm of discipleship and the Christian way of life . Believers can permanently relapse into sin and even give up the faith entirely .
  2. Salvation , once received, is certain and cannot be lost; this certainty is based on Jesus' promise, not on one's own works or feelings. Free Grace Theology thus turns against Arminianism , according to which permanent sin or apostasy results in the loss of salvation, and against Calvinism , according to which all true believers hold fast to the faith until the end (point 5 of the doctrinal rules from Dordrecht ).
  3. All people must be accountable for their actions. The judgment of God will take place in two separate sessions for believers and unbelievers and will no longer decide on heaven and hell , but only on the amount of the reward or punishment. The reward includes a. participation in the government of the millennial kingdom . In this respect, the believer's way of life is not relevant to salvation, but it is highly significant ( Free Grace Theology also uses this argument to counter the accusation of antinomialism ).
