Bob George the pseudo-christian...

Like many contemporary so-called "evangelicals", Bob George believes and teaches the subtle but devastating error of "salvation BY faith" rather than the biblical truth of "salvation by grace THROUGH faith" as recorded in the New Testament and taught by the Apostle Paul. Throughout his ministry and literature, Mr. George promotes an indeterminist view of the human will, which is nearly identical to the historical Wesleyan Arminian heresy.

According to Bob George, the Fall did not render mankind incapable of taking a first step back toward God. Consequently, sinners are never truly lost and he knowingly or unknowingly sides with the Anglo-Catholic tradition and against Paul's Gospel of Grace. One could ask Bob, since the ability to exercise faith toward God was never lost, why would Paul state in Romans 10:17 that "faith" needs to "come."

As heard on his radio broadcast -- all mankind have the innate ability to believe the Word in order to accept the Savior. This premise is the foundation, no matter how subtle, of all meritorious religious systems. When Bob George talks about "free will," his definition includes far more than the concept of human volition. He means absolute autonomy; the central heretical tenet of all Christian humanism. At both first and second glance, one might think these are unnecessary distinctions, but readers should heed the wise words of Lewis S. Chafer: "...the erroneous exaltation of the human ability in the beginning becomes man's effectual undoing in the end" and then exercise extreme caution.

By contrast, the Word of God teaches that faith is not the cause of salvation, but one link in the means. "So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" Romans 10:17. Similar to the late Arminian Dr. Bill Bright, with his Amazing Faith, Bob's lack of understanding regarding genuine grace and role of faith in salvation is the basis of his other doctrinal errors regarding forgiveness, eradication of the sin nature, and the believer's relationship to the Law.

Regularly in his radio broadcasts, Bob disparages and ridicules all determinist views as being "hyper-Calvinist." For Mr. George, "grace" is not God acting sovereignly as found in Scripture, but the erroneous concept of the 'sovereignty of man'--and women! It is no coincidence that Bob George's teaching is popular with a above-average number of sistern with a feminist bent. To understand the "sovereignty" connection, see Feminist Legacies.

For all Anglo-Catholics, including Bob George and those associated with People to People, the term "grace" is frequently used, but its meaning is far different from that found in Scripture. This is pseudo-Christianity. The consequences of these errors are regularly manifest from homosexual / pedophile priests and feminist / lesbian / gay ministers all the way to carnage inside Bible-believing Christian families.

What sets Bob George apart from other contemporary radio teachers, and contributes to his popularity, is that he attempts to incorporate so-called "deeper life truth" into his teachings. But like one well known politician, George is always trying to re-triangulate his message.
