In defense of the gospel : biblical answers to lordship salvation
This volume is a thorough biblical expose of what has come to be called Lordship Salvation. Throughout the volume, Lou Martuneac rightly emphasizes that one's personal salvation from sin is by Gods grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. The Lordship of Christ is not a condition for salvation, but is most assuredly Gods desire for His own. - Dr. Robert P. Lightner, Dallas Theological Seminary (Back cover)
