𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is a cross-denominational collaboration of various Non-Calvinist Evangelical Christian pastors, theologians, scholars, church leaders, and believers from all theological stripes who affirm and teach that God has provided the means of salvation for all people through the life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God. So that all who trust in Jesus Christ are saved by grace through faith. We believe that the Gospel (εὐαγγέλιον) is asserting that God actually loves the entire world and that God sincerely desires every person to gain eternal life through Jesus Christ. God offers the free gift of salvation to all sinners and invites all humanity to respond in believing faith. The saving grace of God is sincerely offered to every person, not decreed to a preselected few.

We desire to be a 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 against teachings that limit the saving grace of God only to a chosen few, against theologies that teach that Christ did not die for all of humanity, and against doctrines that say that the Gospel is actually good news only to preselected individuals, not for every person.

We aim to be a 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 against theological groups that are wreaking havoc within the Christian family ― breaking up churches, stirring up hate among fellow believers, and bashing people who disagree with their views as “heretic”. We take a stand against these theological bullies who arrogantly claim to have the monopoly of Christian Orthodoxy and the Protestant Reformation, and disrespect various nuances of Christian soteriological systems that have been historically accepted as part of Evangelical theology.

We strive to be a cooperative 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 against theological systems that portray God as unloving, arbitrary, author of evil, capricious, controlling, manipulative, unfair, and unkind. We contest any teaching which assumes that the central teaching of Scripture should be a God portrayed as one who enjoys divine deterministic meticulous control. We dispute theologies that highly emphasize this brand of God’s sovereignty which disregards or diminishes God’s love, mercy, compassion, kindness, generosity, and God’s gracious open invitation for all sinful humanity to either receive or reject His free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ.

We seek to be a 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 for dialogue, cooperation, and equipping in matters of soteriology for all Non-Calvinist Evangelical Christians from all theological stripes including Provisionists, Molinists, Free Grace, Arminians, Free Will Baptists, General Baptists, Wesleyans, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Methodists, Mennonites, Brethren, Nazarenes, Evangelical Free, Anabaptists, Anglicans, and all believers who embrace “Whosoever Will” theologies.

We subscribe to the theological convictions of the 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀’ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱, the 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱, the 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁, and the 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Protestantism was introduced in the Philippines after the United States of America defeated Spain in 1898. The United States took possession of the Philippines from Spain with the Treaty of Paris. American rule allowed more opportunity for missionaries to enter the Philippines than under Spanish rule. In addition, there was hostility against the Catholic Christianity of the Spanish and a greater acceptance of Protestant Christianity represented by the Americans.

In 1898 the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist leaders met together in New York to discuss how to bring the Protestant message to the Filipinos. The result was a comity agreement of the missionary enterprises, dividing up places of ministry to avoid future conflicts among themselves and their converts. This meant that only one Protestant church would be started in each area. The comity agreement, which led to the territorial division of the Philippines, was one of the accomplishments of mission enterprises in the Philippines. The meeting was followed by another gathering in 1901 by the early missionaries in Manila to further discuss the comity agreement with three specific major agenda items: (1) to organize the Evangelical Union, (2) to choose a common name for all Protestant churches, (3) to delineate the geographical work allotments for each church.

From 1898 to 1905 there were different Protestant mission agencies that arrived in the Philippines, namely: Methodists (1898), Presbyterians (1899), Baptists (1900), United Brethren (1901), Disciples of Christ (1901), Protestant Episcopal (1901), Congregationalists (1902), Christian and Missionary Alliance (1902), and Seventh-day Adventists (1905). More Protestant missionaries came later -– Assemblies of God (1926), Salvation Army (1937), Lutherans (1946), Foursquare (1949), Evangelical Free (1951), Christian Reformed (1961), Wesleyans (1968) and many others.

The first Protestant service held in the Philippines was on Sunday, August 28, 1898. Chaplain George Stull, a member of The Methodist Episcopal Church, came with the occupying forces. Although his primary duty was to minister to the American soldiers, he recorded in his diary that that first service, held in an old Spanish dungeon facing the bay, was attended not only by his own men but by some Filipinos as well.

When it comes to the church, there is no us and them. There is only us. We ought not to count as enemies people with whom we will spend eternity.

This is the vision that Jesus cast for his followers from the very beginning—a vision for unity. A vision for a “big tent.”

Christian theologians would put it this way: “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity.”

The goal has always been a big tent. As in, the biggest tent you can think of—every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. All of them with a million different views on a million different things, but all of them made one, just as Jesus and the Father are one.

Regardless of your political affiliation, or your views on Calvinism, mode of baptism, the nature of communion, the age of the earth, spiritual gifts, eschatology, or any other secondary issue on which we can disagree, we are still on the same team.

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that we all must occupy the same pews. When it comes to certain convictions, such as the role of women in church leadership, mode of baptism, or even perhaps the exercise of the charismatic gifts of the Spirit, it is simply impossible from an organizational standpoint to “both sides” every theological debate.

But the fact that we don’t all occupy the same pews does not mean that we have ceased to be on the same mission.

This also isn’t to say that secondary issues are unimportant. Indeed, how you land on any number of these issues has deeply practical implications for how you live out your faith on a daily basis, what your church teaches from the pulpit, and even how your congregation structures itself.

Further, there are certain theological stances and practices to which other Christians hold that I believe are not only wrong but also problematic and, at times, harmful. And most certainly, we should never stand for the systemic sins that exist within the evangelical movement.

Our goal isn’t a fragile coalition that can only continue to exist so long as we keep most of our actual thoughts and convictions to ourselves. Instead, the goal is an unwavering commitment to love one another, even and especially in the places where we have the sharpest disagreements.

Extending the right hand of fellowship to another believer isn’t a tacit endorsement of every detail of their theology or conduct. It’s just basic Christian behavior.

This kind of love doesn’t make any sense to the world. But it should make all the sense in the world to us. It is this kind of love that defines us. It’s how the world will know that we are disciples of Jesus. So instead of engaging in an endless battle for doctrinal purity, may we embrace the mess of a big tent, striving to love one another and to bring that love to the world.

Jesus apparently had very little compunction about emphasizing a “big tent” movement rather than prioritizing "doctrinal purity."

Did God provide the means of salvation for all people, or only for a preselected few? Are the redemptive benefits of Christ’s death on the cross available to all, or only given to some? What does being saved by grace alone mean? How does belief in Jesus save a person? What is the difference between salvation by faith and salvation by works?

"God has made it a rule for Himself that He won’t alter people’s character by force. He can and will alter them—but only if the people will let Him. In that way He has really and truly limited His power. Sometimes we wonder why He has done so, or even wish that He hadn’t. But apparently, He thinks it worth doing. He would rather have a world of free beings, with all its risks, than a world of people who did right like machines because they couldn’t do anything else. The more we succeed in imagining what a world of perfect automatic beings would be like, the more, I think, we shall see His wisdom." — C. S. Lewis, 'God In the Dock'

Classic Christianity: A Systematic Theology | by Thomas C. Oden (Author)

Thomas Oden's Systematic Theology classic series (individually titled The Living God, The Word of Life, and Life in the Spirit) is available in one complete volume. A renowned theologian, Oden provides a consensus view of the Christian faith, delving deeply into ancient Christian tradition and bringing to the contemporary church the best wisdom from its past. In this magisterial work, Oden tackles the central questions of Christian belief and the nature of the Trinity.

Written for clergy, Christian educators, religious scholars, and lay readers alike, "Classic Christianity" provides the best synthesis of the whole history of Christian thought. Part one explores the most intriguing questions of the study of God—Does God exist? Does Jesus reveal God? Is God personal, compassionate, free?—and presents answers that reflect the broad consensus culled from the breadth of the church's teachers. It is rooted deeply and deliberately in scripture but confronts the contemporary mind with the vitality of the Christian tradition. Part two addresses the perplexing Christological issues of whether God became flesh, whether God became Christ, and whether Christ is the source of salvation. Oden details the core beliefs concerning Jesus Christ that have been handed down for the last two hundred decades, namely, who he was, what he did, and what that means for us today. Part three examines how the work of God in creation and redemption is being brought to consummation by the Holy Spirit in persons, through communities, and in the fullness of human destiny. Oden's magisterial study not only treats the traditional elements of systematical theology but also highlights the foundational exegetes throughout history. Covering the ecumenical councils and early synods; the great teachers of the Eastern church tradition, including Athanasius and John Chrysostom; and the prominent Western figures such as Augustine, Ambrose, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, and John Calvin, this book offers the reader the fullest understanding of the Christian faith available.

Thomas C. Oden (Ph.D., Yale University) was Professor of Theology at The Theological School of Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. He was general editor of the "Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture" and author of numerous theological works, including a three-volume systematic theology. Tom was the pre-eminent Methodist theologian in America, he was uniquely distinguished and admired not just within Methodism but also within wider Protestantism, Evangelicalism, and even among Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. He was arguably one of America’s most important Christian theologians over the last 50 years.

Know Your Heresies: How Not to Be a Heretic | By Kyle Hughes

While the technical use of the word “heresy” may not be common in the New Testament, the concept of false and destructive teaching is a frequent concern for many New Testament writers. Paul, for example, frequently warns against such false teachers (e.g., 1 Tim 1:3–6) and criticizes false teaching (1 Cor 15:12–58). In response, Paul exhorts Christians to “guard the good deposit entrusted to you” (2 Tim 1:14) and expel the false teachers among them (Titus 3:10). Biblical scholars debate the extent to which various proto-heresies are being targeted in the New Testament writings. Still, it is clear that, at minimum, serious doctrinal divisions threatened to obscure the core message of the gospel even from the dawn of Christianity.
