Gene Cunningham presented “Election, Predestination, and the Plan of God: The Biblical Case Against Calvinism, Lordship Salvation, and Replacement Theology” at the annual conference in Prescott, Arizona, September 7th through 9th. Gene’s teaching refutes Calvinism (Romans 9), Lordship Salvation (Romans 10), and Replacement Theology (Romans 11).
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those
who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also
predestined, to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the
firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called;
whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
Romans 8:28–30

Galatians 2
The curse (Gal 1:8-9) - things devoted to destruction, (Due 26:28, Lev 27:28-29, Lev 10:1-3, 1Co 15:22). Rather than being in conflict with the apostles he teaches in concert with them (Act 15:1-5, Gal 2:1-10). Legalism uses force - compulsion, fear, envy to enslave (Gal 2:4-5). Go has no elite children. Galatians was written around Hab 2:4 —"the just shall live by faith". Living faith cannot help but be actively involved, but is motivated by the Spirit. All believers have a manifestation of the Spirit for the benefit of all (Gal 2:8, 1Co 12:1-7). Paul defends his apostleship by telling of the incident with Peter (Gal 2:11-15). How we live declares how we believe. Key verse is Gal 2:16. On what does our salvation rest —our accomplishments or Him (Gal 2:17-21, Col 2:4-6)? If works save us, Christ died in vain (Gal 2:21).
