Norman Grubb

Norman Grubb was the son of an Irish Anglican clergyman, WWI soldier, Cambridge man, missionary, Bible translator, conference speaker, prolific author and avalanchine letter-writer. As a young zealot he joined the Heart of Africa Mission (HAM) led by his father-in-law, the radical pioneer missionary, C.T. Studd; and later became a disciple of revivalist Rees Howells, founder of the Bible College of Wales. During his time as the General Secretary of WEC Grubb began writing. To begin with he produced tracts and magazines for the mission, and then in 1933 he published a biography of C.T. Studd: C. T. Studd: Cricketer & Pioneer. After this came a string of other books, including his autobiography Once Caught, No Escape, and the pamphlet The Key to Everything. Other books penned by Grubb include Continuous Revival, Touching the Invisible, Rees Howells' Intercessor, Law of Faith, "The Liberating Secret", The Deep Things of God, God Unlimited, Spontaneous You, Who Am I?, and Yes I Am. Many of these books have recently been republished by Zerubbabel Press, and are available at their website, http://store.zerubbabel.org/ or on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online. NOTE: Norman Grubb is much appreciated except by me and many other sincere believers. Yet, he taught one significant, erroneous, unbiblical, notion. He taught that the Sin nature “in the flesh” of man was expelled or exchanged out when “the Spirit of Christ” came into the believer’s spirit. This idea defies the pure clear word of Paul who wrote our liberation from the Power of Sin. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Romans 8:3 (KJV) Paul tells us that our freedom from the Dominion and Power of Sin, the sin-nature, comes to us by our co-death with Christ. Thereby He freed us for the Power of Sin not from the Presence of “Sin in the flesh.” 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were [dry] baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: [so] that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this [truth of our co-death with Christ], that our old man is crucified with him, [so] that the body of sin might be destroyed [Gk. kartargeo, made of no effect, cf. Gal 5:4), that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is DEAD is FREED FROM SIN [sin’s dominion]. Romans 6:3-7 (KJV) For more on this 12 Part Study Series; http://www.artlicursi.com/series/romans-road-core-dispensational-truth
