The doctrine of forensic justification holds a critical place in the Christian faith, as it explains how an individual can be considered righteous before a holy and just God. At its core, the doctrine teaches that through faith in Jesus Christ, God not only imputes...
While Evangelicals -- and Southern Baptists in particular -- are all in on Black History Month to talk about what a great "Christian hero" Martin Luther King Jr. was, it's important to remember that King denied several essentials of the faith that placed him outside...
