I've been reading through an 1800 version of John Fletchers Checks to Antinomianism. It is one of the best theological books I have ever read. It is made up of a collection of Letters that John Fletcher wrote to Pastors and Preachers who publicly came against John Wesley and His connection. These letters are full of humility, satire, and scriptures. They are very interesting, humorous, and educating! He hits hard points like the unbiblicalness of some calvinistic teachings, and also teaches holiness and condition security. I encourage everyone to purchase an old copy of Fletchers Checks. These letters are very applicable to today. Some of the antinomianism that he describes in his day is flurishing in our day. Find it at www.abe.com or www.amazon.com

Antinomianism is the teaching that because of Christs death, there are no more laws that Christians need to live by, and it doesn't matter if they sin.
It's the opposite of legalism.
It's lawlessness - without laws.
So instead of, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
It's, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the law of the Lord!"
