Absolutely Free, 2nd Edition, A Biblical Reply to the Lordship Salvation by Zane C. Hodges and published by Grace Evangelical Society.
Lordship Salvation is the teaching that simple faith in Jesus is not enough to be eternally saved. You also need works. You not only have to believe in Jesus, you also have to live up to His commandments. One of the best known exponents of this view is John MacArthur. In Absolutely Free, Zane Hodges shows that Lordship Salvation has no basis in Scripture. Hodges argues that there is a great difference between eternal salvation and discipleship, between the condition for being regenerate (simple faith in Jesus' promise of everlasting life) vs. the condition for being a mature and faithful disciple (a life of obedience). Confusing these two things leads to a gospel of salvation by works, instead of a gospel of God's free grace.
