Monty Collier shows by reading from Gordon H. Clark's book, What Is Saving Faith?, that Lordship salvation is an ambiguous and confused term and that the view that saving faith is assent to the truths of the Gospel is not antinomian. Assent to the Gospel and the objective work of Christ's active and passive obedience is all that is necessary for saving belief. But such belief is always followed by our grateful response. Good works are not necessary to salvation but they are an imperfect response to our assent to the propositional truths of the Gospel message. (Isaiah 64:6; Psalm 130:3; Psalm 143:2; 1 John 1:8-10).
As such false teachers who advocate a future vindication by works in the judgment or who teach that justification and salvation are accomplished by faith plus faithfulness or obedience are plainly opposed to both Calvinism and the Gospel promise. Calvinism IS the Gospel.
