Here
is one most precious gem:
'The
notion that the Bible is addressed to everybody has wrought confusion within
and without the church. The effort to apply the teaching of the Sermon on the
Mount to the unregenerate nations of the world is one example of this… Not only
does God address His words of truth to those who are able to receive them, He
actually conceals their meaning from those who are not… The saving power of the
Word is reserved for those for whom it is intended. ~ A. W. Tozer. (thru Adam
Wells)

When
this truth is consistently applied, it will spare so many preachers from so many
outright follies, and obvious errors!

Elliott needs to understand this fact. The denial of original sin; the belief
that God does speak to everyone goes against the grain of all scripture
beginning in the garden.

- God
purposed eternal salvation for His elect people.
- Christ
secured eternal redemption for exactly the same people at the cross.
- The
Holy Spirit applies the eternal redemption to each elect personally at God's
appointed and approved time.
No
eternal salvation is ever OFFERED by God.
He
actively, sovereignly, and freely APPLIES it, at His own approved and appointed
time, to each of His elect when they are still in their native state of sin and
death.
The
Lord sends for His servants to proclaim the good news of what the Triune God
has done by His free and sovereign grace, calling them to believe the gospel,
that they may know the truth of their eternal salvation by free and sovereign
grace, and experience the blessedness of that salvation.
The
gospel ministry is very important... what what many imagined, i.e. as an
instrument of conveying eternal salvation. The gospel ministry is appointed for
the benefit of God's children, those ALREADY in possession of eternal salvation
by God's free grace. The gospel ministry is very important for the temporal
salvation, the spiritual well being, of God's children.
Peddlers
and hawkers, IMPOSTORS and DECEIVERS, go around, with great pomposity and
self-importance, pretending to offer eternal salvation on God's behalf and in
Christ's name, to those that are still dead in their trespasses and sins...
What
madness, and height of deception and delusion!

The
great harm done by the gospel regenerationists is they take up the space meant
by God for us to be leading the regenerate to repent and believe and build the
kingdom of God on earth rather than the small remnant of gracers are having to
defend the gospel against the gospel regenerationists. The gospel regenerationists are the enemies of God and his constant wrath is being held back from their
eventual perishing. They are presently perishing but don't know it. They assume
they are prosperous but in fact, they are spiritually naked. The revelation of
their perishing is awful for them!
