Welcome to the Pristine Grace Website! We hope you enjoy the discussion forum, articles, sermons, books, and scripture software that has been provided here. This website has been created to proclaim the truth to God's people.
We are living in an age of self-idolatry and very few people who profess Christ truly understand the Gospel. Many believe that Jesus died for all men universally and that the difference between those who are saved and not saved is the individual's "free will" decision.
There are others who are more enlightened but yet still believe in things like the doctrine of "common grace", the doctrine of "duty-faith" or the "free offer" of the Gospel. We believe these doctrines are erroneous and profane God's precious love for His elect. We prefer the word "free" or "pristine" instead of the word "common" to describe grace as the Scriptures declare God's love to be found only in God's Son, and that all of Grace is of the will of God and not corrupted or stained by the will of man, hence the adjective "pristine".
Some would also cast aspersions on us because we believe in the absolute predestination of all things - that is there isn't a single event that occurs that God did not predestinate. We believe that the term hyper-calvinism is a pejorative used to discredit our writings. Nevertheless, we believe He is absolutely Sovereign! We believe He has saved His people from their sins (Mat 1:21) and that all of His sheep will be given the gift of faith in the Gospel of Christ at His appointed time.

 ... I think one of the worst things a believer can do in a relationship with another is to try to determine what someone is thinking, especially if you think they are upset with you.. many times a person will be a thousand miles away with their thoughts and troubles.. Another is to take someone else's word for something they supposedly said or did.. Don't ever take someone's word alone on something to make a judgement about a person.. it's notoriously unreliable an...Chip Holbrook Article Length: Very Short |

 ...If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: - Job 31:33
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. - 1 Corinthians 15:22
If a man is covered (paid in full on the cross of Calvary) by the works and merits of Christ alone, salvation by the imputed righteousness of Christ alone, then he is made alive (a new creature IN Christ), and if a man is trusting in his own works and merits then he “shalt surely die&r...Timothy Pannell Article Length: Short |
 ... The Hebrews and the Galatians were believers stumbling at the gospel. Any other reading of those texts is simply reading what you want into the text to make your false points.
All believers stumble at the gospel. All sin is at it root unbelief and all unbelief at its root is gospel unbelief.
And brothers, be sure of this you will never convince some brothers that you are believers.
They have set up a self-righteou...Bobby Capps Article Length: Short |
| ... No one can be saved by "sinning less than before", i.e. by committing less obvious sins. But our flesh is still putting on this show, we are still trying hard to deceive ourselves and others.
Our human measurements of holiness, such as "doing relatively better" {than other people} fall short of God's perfect righteousness, they cannot meet the requirements of God's law. The Thrice Holy God will not accept a "relative progress&... Renat Ilyasov Article Length: Very Short |
 ... My friends, my goal is not to make God look bad or even good, he is who he is. My goal is to worship and preach him as he has revealed himself, even if that means I have to put down my presuppositions, feelings, philosophy, and favorite writers and preachers. Even if it brings division and goes against popular consensus. My goal is not to please men or be popular, but as God gives grace and light, faithfully preach the word of God and to worship him for who he is and not what I mak...Mikal Smith Article Length: Very Short |

 ...A Brief Exegesis of Romans 5:12-21 (ESV)
NOTE: The position outlined here is one I have embraced, defended, and written about for many years. I am presenting it again as the old issue has come back again with the same challenges as before.
Terms: The translation and meaning of ‘All’ in the New Testament writings, when referring to a certain mass of human beings, is generally agreed by those of a sovereign grace perspective to have both a ‘universal’ a...Bob Higby Article Length: Long |

After decades of stressing myself to the point of almost a brain aneurysm about political and geo-political matters, culminating in the highest stress in 2012, the Lord graciously taught me a lesson. By His grace, He directed me to the book of Daniel, changing my mind completely in all these matters. Here is the...Richard Warmack Article Length: Short |

| ... Works, evidence faith but cannot validate it. Show me a religious work that the carnal man cannot mimic, at least for awhile! At the end of the day when we have done all that is our duty, all we can say is that we are unprofitable servants. Are our works important? Absolutely! We were foreordained unto good works before the foundation of the world. But the child of Grace should never look to these works as an assurance of their salvation. Faith is the substance of things HOPE... Mikal Smith Article Length: Very Short |
 ... When the environment is loud, busy, and rapidly engaged in many directions it is easy to miss details and be overwhelmed. When all that noise ends suddenly it’s like a dreamy peacefulness, like when a room full of kids go outside and you can hear the hum of a ceiling fan.
The same thing is true when we spend so much time reading and hearing theological and “religious” fodder. It’s impossible to focus on the truth. When we flush the no...James H. Tippins Article Length: Very Short |
| ... Every believer is gifted for the assembly by God the Spirit. When some forsake assembly, they are not receiving the blessings of others and the body isn’t receiving Gods purpose for them. Many times we pray for what God has already provided but is rarely with us. Stir one another beloved. Stir, stir, stir... that means don’t let each other sit idle.... James H.

 ... Want to know what the best thing in the world is? The assurance that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit because His perfect sacrifice was accepted and well pleasing in the eyes of the Father. That Christ lived a perfect life of obedience to the Father bringing to Him nothing but absolute Glory and Satisfaction in everything He did. And that, because of His obedience to the Father, Jesus Christ, at the dying on the Cross by the imputation of ...Justin S. Martinez Article Length: Very Short |

 ...What did Christ our Surety accomplish?
• He reconciled us to God in his sin-atoning death.
• He entered into Heaven as our Covenant-Head and claimed our eternal inheritance in our name, as our Surety.
• Also, He will, in the last day, present all of his elect faultless before the Father’s glory with exceeding great joy.
In that day, he will appear without sin. Also those that are in Him will also appear without sin. His Father ...Jim Casey Article Length: Short |
