Disingenuous about Justification and Sanctification
These men are not open about their doctrine of justification. They espouse federal vision that informs their view of the law, definition of a Christian nation, and justification. Federal vision: you are in the new covenant by faith, then by an obedient faith you stay in the covenant.
Andrew Sandlin, one of their teachers at the institute, was a strong supporter of the late Norman Shepherd, the father of federal vision. Sandlin even wrote the forward to “The Way of Righteousness” by Shepherd.
Investigate for yourselves. Look up the episodes when Sandlin is guest and listen to how he derided justification by faith alone. It’s the June 29, 2022 episode, Covenant and Kingdom w/Andrew Sandlin.

If you are a Christian, and want to engage in some serious thinking around these subjects, this podcast is a great place to start. Highly recommended.
