This debate, recently near Nashville, Arkansas.
Extremely large crowds. Bro. Croom affirmed on first and third days; Jackson on second and fourth. Subjects: Apostasy, operation of Holy Spirit, Plan of Salvation. Bro. Croom pressed Jackson on the apostasy question until Jackson affirmed that sinful children of God go right on to heaven without repenting of their sins. In other words, he declared that eternal salvation in heaven is absolutely unconditional to the citizens of God's kingdom. He made both statements.
Jackson shook hands with Croom on the operation of the Spirit, stated just in these words: "The Holy Spirit operates through the word in the conversion of the sinner, and in no other way." He further said that the Spirit does not enter the sinner at all to do his work, but does all by means of his words.
On the plan of salvation, Jackson, under pressure, affirmed that the only thing a sinner has to do to be saved is simply to trust Jesus. Hee taught plainly that "faith only" is the plan of salvation. According to the Holy Spirit in James, Jackson's plan is "dead faith."
Both men did well. Jackson is a strong man. He writes their Sunday School literature. He possesses every quality of a debater, except fairness in stating a man's argument and position. He can learn to do that. It was Bro. Croom's first debate, and he did a wonderful piece of work. It was a masterpiece. The brethren were highly pleased. The debate is doing good. It was a great victory for the truth.
