What got me thinking about the connection between the Federal Vision and the Oxford Movement is that the Auburn Avenue church has just published a book on baptism that is a reprint from an Anglican priest involved with the Tractarians. Another curious item is that Auburn Ave has named their publishing house, Athanasius Press. According to Peter Toon in his book on the Evangelical reaction to the Oxford movement, John Newman's doctrine of justification was influenced by his reading of the Greek Fathers, especially Anthanasius. Anthanasius laid emphasis on the inseparable relationship between justification and regeneration; as well as "the divinisation or deification of the Christian, through baptism and the Holy Spirit."

In fact, anyone who says that the elect sinner has to meet a condition in order to be saved should take note of these biblical propositions:<br /><br />1.The righteousness of God that is revealed in the gospel is His salvation of sinners based on the propitiatory sacrifice and imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ alone (Rms 3:21-4:8; 10:4; 2 Cor 5:21).<br /><br />2.Those who are ignorant of the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel are going about to establish a righteousness of their own and are thus lost, no matter how zealous they are for God (Romans 10:1-3).<br /><br />3.Anyone who does not abide in the doctrine of Christ is lost (2 Jn 9).<br /><br />4.Anyone who speaks peace to one who brings a false gospel is lost (2 Jn 11)<br /><br />Lee, I'd be interested to know what you think of our website.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.outsidethecamp.org"> OUTSIDE THE CAMP </A></B>Andrew C.
