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

Sanctification 1
. Theme for the Book of Romans (Rom 1:16-17), "the power of the gospel"; bookends "Obedience to the faith" (Rom 1:5, Rom 16:26). Condemnation (Romans 1-3); Justification (Romans 4-5); Sanctification (Romans 6-8); Dispensation (Romans 9-11); Transformation (Romans 12-16). Three divisions in chapter 8: (1) Past work of the Spirit — no condemnation — we're saints (Rom 8:1-11); (2) Present work of the Spirit — no dominion — the Spirit's work to sanctification (Rom 8:12-27); (3) Future work - no defeat — we're holy (Rom 8:28-39). The will of God is our sanctification (1Th 4:7). Freedom is among Paul's favorite words (Rom 8:1, Rom 8:21, Rom 6:4-6, Rom 6:18, Rom 6:22, Rom 7:6, Rom 8:2). The Law of Sin and Death - sin brings death. Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus is the newness of life (Eph 4:23-24). Sin must be judged and perfect obedience is necessary. Sanctification is a cooperative process. The purpose is that we walk worthy (Eph 2:8-10, Eph 4:1).
