The Regeneration and Perserverance Debate (Lordship salvation) Dr. White debates Dr. Robert Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society on the subject of faith. The two parts of this debate are Regeneration and the Ordo Salutis, and the Perserverance of the Saints. To be honest, James was disappointed with this debate. The majority of the time, he had to correct mischaracterizations of his own beliefs. It was clear that Dr. Wilkin had not read any of James' books. Many times, James was morphed into an Arminian. Some important questions to be considered are: Is faith a mere tip of the hat, or is there more to it? What is regeneration? Does regeneration come before faith? Is there such a thing as a dead faith? Are there 'super' Christians? These and many other questions get answered hopefully putting the anti-Lordship debate to rest for those who are considering it as being Scriptural. Part I -- Regeneration and the ordo salutis: Does regeneration come before faith? Track 1 - Introductions Track 2 - Dr. White Affirmative (20 min) Track 3 - Dr. Wilkin Negative (20 min) Track 4 - Dr. White Rejoinder (10 min) Track 5 - Dr. Wilkin Rejoinder (10 min) Part II -- Perserverance as the evidence of saving faith: Resolved that works are (or are not) an indispensable element of true faith Track 6 - Dr. Wilkin Negative (15 min) Track 7 - Dr. White Affirmative (15 min) Track 8 - Dr. Wilkin Rejoinder (10 min) Track 9 - Dr. White Rejoinder (10 min) Part III -- Question & Answer Track 10 - Question & Answer Part IV -- Summary Track 11 - Dr. White (5 min) Track 12 - Dr. Wilkin (5 min)

The 'Read My Book' Debate on BAM

This informal debate took place on December 16th 2003 on the Bible Answerman Broadcast. James White faces off against Hank Hanegraaff (The Bible Answerman) and George Bryson (Calvary Chapel). Confronted with numerous bible passages against his philosophical position George Bryson avoids interacting with the passages and simply repeats conundrums while making a number of his own dogmatic assertions. At one point Hank even states the charge of avoidance directly to him while stating that James had repeatedly exegeted them with no response. This debate is filled with the very things that Hank decries: dogmatic assertions, philosophical constructs and broad sweeping generalities. James White is the only one who repeatedly works toward appealing to and rightly dividing the scripture. It is a perfect example of how modern defenders of Libertarian Free Will run away from scripture to the arms of philosophical conundrum in order to defend their positions. Dr. White did a follow up DL to this show. Follow the link below to listen.

While this is definitely an interesting exchange, it is not a very good debate. The topic was supposed to involve both sides presenting a positive exegesis of Romans 9 so that the audience could compare and decide for themselves. Professor Flowers chose to make a presentation on Total Depravity (which was the topic he had originally suggested), and then make some surface-level comments about how his position would be relevant to particular sections of Romans 9. Hence, the formal debate was basically uncontested, but the secondary debate (total depravity) was only partially contested, as James did not get to make a positive presentation on the topic. Despite this (all too common) problem, the discussion is very useful in comparing Reformed theology and exegesis with what calls itself “traditionalist” Southern Baptist views.
