BOOK REVIEW: Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up

(short) Book Review: A book that may be of some interest....
(Review by  Plain Bible Teaching)

 Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up
by David W. Bercot
Paperback, 190 pages Published 1989 by Scroll Pub Co
           
 
"This book shows the sharp contrast between what many denominations today teach and what the early Christians taught.
The early Christians believed that
* salvation by grace was conditioned
upon obedience,
* that baptism was tied to salvation,
* and that predestination refers to God’s foreknowledge, rather than His selection of certain individuals for salvation.
Many denominations teach just the opposite (salvation by grace/faith alone, baptism not essential for salvation, God predestined some individuals for salvation and some for damnation).
The author spends a good deal of time going through religious history –
the early church,
rise of Roman Catholicism,
the  Reformation,
the Radical Reformation,
the Church of England."


And the apostles and elders came
together for to consider of this matter.

Acts 15:6
