A. T. PIERSON. |
Sadly, some modern-day Free Grace people of the Duluthian faction (1 Cor. 11:19) have itching ears for something new (cf. Jer. 6:16; 2 Tim. 4:3).[6] They say that the full gospel of Christ's death, burial, rising, and appearing is "incorrect" and "wrong" — even "heresy"![7] They promote a partial gospel and a new non-buried and never-seen savior.[8] Tragically, their new no-burial gospel is a distortion of the biblical gospel and thus falls under the curse of God (Gal. 1:6-9; cf. 2 Cor. 11:4). A lost and dying world doesn't need some new pop-theology, a sound-byte gospel, or a stripped-down message. Instead, they need the simple, straight-forward, and saving old-fashioned gospel of the Bible: the message that has been preached by such men as A. T. Pierson and the apostle Paul (see 1 Cor. 15:1-5).[9]
