That statement made me think. Do not the roots of this movement go back to the Reformation and its famous “sola gratia”? We certainly believe that salvation is by grace alone. Why is it, however, that to a large extent we seem to delegate God’s grace to the moment of conversion or to the last judgement? If we appeal to God’s grace it is often when we are in a difficult situation. Overburdened with the work situation or family matters one can hear the minister say, “Oh, by the grace of God it is O.K.” Or we may hear a reading at a funeral service of a wayward pastor’s son who died of a drug overdose: “You have found grace in my sight, I know you by name” (Ex. 33:17)."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderGracePentecostalpneumatologypreachingChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticDogmaticsHoly SpiritArticle
