The Gospel of the Christ by Tom Stegall
The Gospel of the Christ is a clear, biblical reply to the question of what a person must believe about Jesus Christ to possess eternal life. While Christianity has historically maintained that faith in Jesus Christ is essential for everlasting life, this raises the vital question: what is the necessary content of this faith? Written against the backdrop of the controversy within Free Grace circles over the “crossless gospel” and the contents of saving faith, Thomas Stegall goes well beyond a carefully documented analysis of his own movement. The Gospel of the Christ provides a systematic, exegetically-based treatment of biblical teaching on the subject of “the gospel” and the meaning of the title, “the Christ.” The end result is a comprehensive biblical and theological study of Jesus Christ’s person and work in the contents of saving faith.

How to Interpret 1 John by Dennis M. Rokser
The Epistle of 1 John is one of the simplest books of the New Testament, yet it is often one of the most difficult to interpret. HOW TO INTERPRET 1 JOHN provides an easy-to-understand guide to grasping the message of this epistle and accurately interpreting some of its most challenging verses. For example, have you ever wondered what John means in 1 John 3:9 when he says, “Whoever has been born of God does not sin,” while previously saying in 1 John 1:10, “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us”? In addition, was 1 John written to those who are already believers or to a mixture of genuine believers and unbelieving professors of Christ? What is the purpose of 1 John? Was it written to provide a series of tests to determine whether you are truly born again, or was it written to clarify what genuine fellowship with God and others is really all about? These questions and more are answered with clarity and fresh insights from the text of God’s Word in HOW TO INTERPRET 1 JOHN. PDF

Must Faith Endure for Salvation to Be Sure? by Tom Stegall
Must Faith Endure for Salvation to Be Sure? shows from Scripture that all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone, rather than their own good works, will be kept safe and eternally secure by God’s grace and power. Rather than the traditional Reformed doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, the Bible teaches that a person’s eternal salvation rests solely upon the perseverance of the Savior in keeping His own secure. While perseverance is necessary for the believer’s ongoing fellowship with the Lord and spiritual fruitfulness in service to Him, it is not a requirement to possess eternal life. Believers in Christ can be personally assured that they will never perish forever because their salvation rests solely upon the faithfulness and finished work of the Savior on their behalf. PDF

Should Christians Fear Outer Darkness?
This book sets forth the contrast between true biblical teaching and the views of many contemporary proponents of outer darkness for Christians. SHOULD CHRISTIANS FEAR OUTER DARKNESS? clearly explains how God deals with every child of God in love and grace, rather than legalism and fear. If you are a Christian struggling with a perform-or-else approach to the Christian life and future, eternal rewards, this book will encourage you with the prospect of seeing your Savior face to face as your Blessed Hope.

Miscellaneous

That You May Believe by Tom Stegall
This document is a dissertation on the evangelistic purpose and message of John’s Gospel in relation to Free Grace Theology. It concludes that John’s primary purpose is the evangelism of unbelievers, as John seeks to lead readers to fulfill the single, instantaneous condition of belief in Jesus Christ’s person, work, and promise in order to receive the free gift of eternal life that cannot be lost. This dissertation focuses on the Gospel of John to provide a refutation of both Lordship Salvation and the crossless, promise-only “saving message” as currently taught by many proponents of Free Grace Theology.
