This may be old news to the rest of you, but I just stumbled across this article by John Frame:
http://www.frame-poythress.org/frame_articles/2004SandlinForward.htm
In this article, Frame affirms that saving faith is an "obedient faith (James 2:14-26), not a dead faith".
I do not think it is a problem for Frame to say this, any more than I think it is a problem for Wilson to say this. Nevertheless, I grant that many people have falsely mistaken this type of language for a sort of RC soteriology. But of course, all this language really says is that saving faith can be identified by its good works, even though those works themselves did not contribute to salvation. This is Protestant through and through.
But, enough of what I think about Frame's article . . . what do the rest of you think about it?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts about John Frame.
Would you agree with me that Frame is a dear brother in Christ?
Or are there some of you on this board who are prepared to call John Frame a heretic?
I'm curious . . .
