PRCA 100th Seminary Conference, October 31-November 2: “By Grace I Am What I Am”: The PRCA’s Rejection of Common Grace.
The issue of common grace is still relevant a century later!
Come to Grace PRC on October 31 (7:30 pm), November 1 (7:00 pm), and November 2 (9:00 am), to hear how.
On Friday November 1 Prof. B. Huizinga will address the error of the first point of common grace, and Prof. R. Cammenga will deal with the “little point of the first point,” the doctrine of the general offer of the gospel. Hope to see you there!
All speeches will be livestreamed on Grace PRC’s site.
The first point of common grace adopted by the Christian Reformed Church in 1924 reads as follows:
"Relative to the first point, which concerns the question of a favorable attitude of God towards humanity in general and not only towards the elect, synod declares it to be established according to Scripture and the Confession, that, apart from the saving grace of God shown only to those that are the elect unto eternal life, there is also a certain favor or grace of God which He shows to His creatures in general. This is evident from the Scriptural passages quoted and from the Canons of Dordrecht, II, 5 and III, IV, 8 and 9 that deal with the general offer of the Gospel, while it also appears from the citations made from Reformed writers of the most flourishing period of Reformed Theology that our Reformed fathers from ancient times favored this view."
