Certain Heresies Are Ok For TGC and Keller and Piper

If this episode, and everything leading up to it, does not conclusively prove the utterly worldly nature of TGCTM, nothing else will. TGC's statement is so blatantly hypocritical I am almost speechless as to its audacity. Keller invites NPP proponent NT Wright to speak at a center connected to Redeemer Presbyterian = OK (not divisive). Keller attacks the foundation of the Gospel by promoting theistic evolution = OK (not divisive). John Piper invites Federal Vision heretic Douglas Wilson to the 2009 Desiring God conference = OK (not divisive). Piper subsequently invites semi-Pelagian revivalist Rick Warren to DG10 = OK (not divisive). But Pastor Tullian teaches on the Law/Gospel distinction and a particular view of sanctification = being divisive? So let me get this straight. One can promote a heretic who denies the Gospel, one can attack the foundation of the Gospel, but one cannot teach on the Law/Gospel distinction? I guess TGCTM is really the GospelTMCoalitionTM, where the Coalition is everything, and the Gospel important in name only.

~Daniel Chew on " The Sanctification Debate and TGC"

Exactly what I've been saying about the plethora of heresies Killer and Piper have continued to promote without nary a word of public rebuke and repudiation from John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, and Phil Johnson. This is why I said that Together for the Gospel is also a farce.

Bottom line just might be this: Tullian isn't as famous nor a money maker  nor has he been around as long, nor is he known as a Reformer as the others are.
