Welcome to the Pristine Grace Website! We hope you enjoy the discussion forum, articles, 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. Read more about us!
There are several upcoming Free Grace conferences in August through December 2019. See all upcoming events.
 ... The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford. His only son died at age 4 in 1871. In 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate, made from a successful legal career. In 1873 he sent his wife & 4 daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated SS Ville du Havre. Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later. The Ship sank and he lost his 4 daughters with the wife being ... |
 ... It is hard to say which is worse – the atheist who says, “There is no God” or the religionist who maintains that God cannot do as He pleases.
Since all men by nature have stony hearts, all the threatening in the world will do no good; the stony heart of natural man must be pierced by THE POWER OF GOD in order to be tender!
One with a tender heart desires to know the will of God, has a readiness for spiritual thin...Scott Richardson |
| ...“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice.” - 1 Peter 4:12-13
If God has given you the privilege and opportunity to go through difficult and heavy trials, then you ought to make the most of that privilege and opportunity to glorify Him by being in subjection to Him, because it might only happen once in a lifetime.

 ... Many chide us old school baptists for always referring to ourselves as "unprofitable servants" or "unworthy servants". Some may say, "We ARE worthy, for Jesus has saved us and made us worthy and profitable in his kingdom." My dear friend, if you have experienced the grace of God, you have not been made worthy, but accepted! Accepted in the Beloved! There is only one who will hear the cries of WORTHY, and that is the Lamb that was slain!!!

 ... Upon arriving to services one Wednesday evening, to my surprise, there was an old, mangy, rejected and forsaken dog sitting on the front porch of the church building. I was appalled and repulsed at the dog’s sad appearance and horrible condition. This poor creature was in bad shape, yet all I can remember thinking was, “I wish this dog would go away.”
I am so grateful that when my merciful, gracious and compassionate Savior looked upon...David Eddmenson |
 ... Parts one, two, and three of this article series were recently published. My final part in this article series will deal with Clay Curtis's sermon titled, The Blessing of Imputation. It can be viewed or listened to in its entirety on Sermon Audio. But for the purpose of analysis and commentary, I transcribed it in its entirety and have made it available for download. I think this is an important sermon to listen to because it really...Brandan Kraft |
 ...“One Little Word Shall Fell Him.” Martin Luther, A Mighty Fortress
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, streng...Bob Higby |
 ... Let us be very much crystal-clear on whether there was ever any value in the death of Christ for the non-elect. The death of Christ has ZERO value, in any sense for, or towards, the non-elect. Not in purpose, will, effect, nature, scope or any other thing under the sun having to do in connection with value for the non-elect, at all, or at any time, in this world, or the world to come. This includes sufficiency. His death has ZERO sufficiency, in any sense for, or toward...Scott Price |
| ... Part one and part two of this series of articles on the made sin controversy were published not too long ago. I've received comments, and most of them have been positive. But there has been some mild criticism/objections, which I expected. I'm a big boy, so send your comments my way, I want to hear what you have to say. My feelings aren't gonna be hurt, I can tell you that.

 ... There are already very few Sovereign grace preachers and believers.
I therefore distaste seemingly "professed gracers" who are always in fighting mode to the extent that they are willing to devour their own brethren just to prove that they know a few things, which in most cases they don't.
The more they speak the more they reveal their emptiness of things regarding Christ.
If you disagree with me or anyone, go t...James Guyo |
 ... Those who would portray or characterize the Biblical doctrine of imputation (the sins of God's elect imputed to Christ and HIS righteousness imputed to all for whom He died, as taught in 2 Corinthians 5:21), as "God pretending" (or a mere pretense) do not understand the Biblical doctrine of imputation. Christ was truly MADE SIN for His people by imputation, and this was so real that He actually came under the curse of the law and the wrath of God for His people....Bill Parker |
 ... According to popular evangelical religion, God loves you and desperately desires to save you, but is powerless to do so unless you give him permission by your "free will".
According to popular evangelicalism, many people, myriads of people, will be lost, will perish in eternal judgment, BUT this will not be for any lack of love on God's part.
The fact people go to hell will not be for any lack of desire o...John Pedersen |
| ... Here is the distinction BETWEEN LAW AND GRACE.
The Law is the husband who demands perfection in everything that you do as a wife.
When you cook, your cooking is never good and he will never thank you.
When you iron his clothes, he is never happy with the way you do it.
When you wear your best clothes, smell the best and have on your make up, he still calls you ugly.
Not only that, he beats you up for your best effort. Why? Because yo... James Guyo |
 ... When someone "does you dirty" there are three things that are immediately in play, three things you must do to recover from the injury/sin done against you.
The sin must be forgiven - sin is wrong, it's not fair, it's not the way it should be and justice must be served. Forgiveness is trusting that God is just and that He can handle what has happened to you.
Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. "I'll do th...Bobby Capps |

I've still been thinking about the "made sin" controversy. I've received some feedback on my last article, but mostly not much of a response. I want to get to the bottom of this and clarify even further what I think really is going on.

| ... It's amazing how selfishly, arrogantly, and ignorantly, we who profess faith in the Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ complain. If we believe HE is in control of ALL things, and if HE be ALL wise, then when HE takes us through affliction, shall we cry "not fair" or "not right"? Can we, if we truly profess to believe HE is sovereignly by providence bringing to pass all things for our good, be unthankful and ungrateful for his wise providence?

| ...Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power - Psa 110:3
Walk the aisle of most "Christian" book stores and you will find row after row of books on self-help. Whether it be "How to be Born Again," "10 Steps to Christian Maturity," or "Your Best Life Now," one thing is sure, at the heart of all those books, are an unbiblical doctrine that has taken a stranglehold on modern "Christianity" and the "churches" i...

| ... I don't believe something because a prominent preacher, confession or creed, or any acedemia says something is so. I don’t believe something just because I’ve been taught it my whole life. When we put our trust in men, we surely will be let down as well as taught wrongly.
A dear preacher friend of mine, Bro Royce Smith, once said, "our biggest hindrance to learning is what we already 'know'."

 ... Our church has been entrusted with the delightful duty to proclaim, promote and preserve the truth of God. What is our creed; what, in short, are our beliefs?
Scripture alone. We do not bow to the writings of men to guide us in doctrine and practice. We cannot wholeheartedly support the old confessions of faith written by well-meaning, but sinful men. There are no Baptist denominational rules that govern this church. We look to “the Word of Truth,”...Jim Byrd |
| ... Truth - God's people, at conversion, are Sanctified by the Spirit, NOT by the Law. What about after conversion? Still not Sanctified by the Law. Seems many are thinking they are Sanctified by works and or Law. Nope! Sanctification is by sovereign grace. The Spirit is effectual in His work. This is not a hard saying, only to the unbeliever. Grace is sufficient as the just shall live by faith and walk in the Spirit. This is God's wise purpose. Are you satisfied with tha... Scott Price |
