Recognizing the problem is a key step in dealing with it. Second, let's avoid changing the gospel message as a solution. Lordship salvation has a deep concern that believers live holy lives. I share that concern. However, the solution which Lordship salvation offers, adding works to the gospel, is one I cannot adopt.
Salvation is a free gift.
It is received by faith alone, not by faith plus works. To tell a person that he or she must stop living with their lover in order to be saved from hell is to contradict the idea of a free gift. Lordship salvation advocates do not deny this. We do not pay for gifts. I must give them up, every one.
