Free Grace Alliance (FGA) is a Free Grace advocacy organization[1][2] formed by former members of the Grace Evangelical Society. It is distinguished from the Grace Evangelical Society over their understanding of the content of saving faith, as the Free Grace Alliance holds that to be saved one must believe in the person, work and promise of Christ. This is in contrast to the Grace Evangelical Society, which holds to the view that one is saved by just believing that Jesus gives eternal life to everyone who believes.[3][4][5][6]

The president of the FGA is Jeremy Vance and its executive director is Jeremy Mikkelsen.[7]

## History

[edit]

The Free Grace Alliance formed in November 2004 with an emphasis on international missions.[8] Although the Free Grace Alliance was initially planned to be created for other reasons than the dispute over the content of faith, [3] the Free Grace Alliance split from the Grace Evangelical Society in 2005 when most of the prominent leaders (including the chairman of the board) within the Society rejected the change in the content of saving faith being taught by Zane C. Hodges and the Grace Evangelical Society changed its doctrinal statement regarding the content of saving faith.[9]
