On the live radio show, 'Iron Sharpening Iron', originating out of New York City, I was scheduled to debate Federal Vision representative Steve Schlissel on various theological issues associated with this viewpoint that I believe to be heretical. Both of us had been on the radio show earlier on separate occassions. There will be a second debate since he was late arriving to this show.
John Otis makes many good points on this MP3. John Otis makes many good points on this MP3.

I know he is very familiar with his own confession, the Westminster, but seemed to create a straw man doctrine of the historic teachings on soteriology. At any rate this is a very important warning about the Federal Vision system and the Auburn Avenue Theologs such as Wilkens, Wilson, Mark Horne and their whole ilk. The ironic thing is they have a whole different standard on infants and regeneration.
In 1995, John was made an evangelist of Covenant Presbytery of the RPCUS to minister to a group of people who requested that John minister to them in Corpus Christi, Texas. For a period of nine years he went to Corpus Christi on a monthly basis to help this body of believers who was... | more..
