Whoever denies objective justification reduces justification to the act of believing and does not believe in it at all. Logically, he denies the atonement and preaches that man is responsible for his sins.

This quote rings strong on propaganda but null on content.
Some of these people believe that if you emphasize faith, then you must fall into intuitu fidei. This is the slippery slope fallacy.
This presupposes that faith is not from the HS. This assumption is running on the paradigm that faith is a work of man in the first place. Hence, it has built its own straw man and dismisses it with its own rationalism. The HS induced faith does not look at itself but in making such a statement, the Rev. Dr. Scaer has succumbed to his own presuppositions.
The blunder too is considering atonement and justification as the same, and is Calvinistic.
We could say more, but the tertium non datur fallacy (the lack of consideration for a 3rd explanation) is also evident in this blunder filled statement.
And Kilcrease is happy that he is being invited by the good doctor to speak?
Would that not be shallow?
