The London Lyceum

Jordan talks with Garrett Walden about eternal justification, exploring its historical context, theological implications, and its association with hyper-Calvinism and antinomianism. Garrett shares his background and interest in John Gill's theology, discussing the distinctions between virtual and actual justification, and the importance of understanding imminent and transient acts in the context of justification. The conversation also touches on the risks of normalizing eternal justification in contemporary discussions and the historical debates surrounding the doctrine.
