The Wide Range of the Term “Pronomian”
As a theological belief, the term Pronomian can cover a huge amount of Christians and should not be seen as a movement or a denomination in and of itself.
Although the term “pronomian” is fairly new, the concept behind it is not. God’s law has been the foundation of the Christian faith since Jesus walked the earth. Before that period, it was the foundation of Israel’s faith since Sinai and even before.
Pronomian theology comes in many different forms and with many different beliefs. Below you will find videos that describe the basic theological stance of the term.
As a theological belief, the term Pronomian can cover a huge amount of Christians and should not be seen as a movement or a denomination in and of itself.
In this video we look at the theology known as “pronomian.” This term is gaining some attention because it is a tenant of several different beliefs such as Messianic Judaism, the Hebrew Roots Movement, and Pronomian Christianity.
Many believe the civil and ceremonial parts of God’s law have been fulfilled or done away with but is this really the case? Can we
“Why do you believe in theonomy?” is the question asked to Jeff Young who gives his views on this theological position.
Perhaps one of the most common reactions I receive when people learn that I hold to pronomian theology comes in the form of a question,

If you would have asked me two months ago what a believing Gentile’s relationship to Israel is, I would have said something like, “Gentiles don’t
Some have attempted to make the term “Pronomian Christian” into a sect or a movement. This, however, is something we do not find helpful. God’s law should be the foundation of every Christian denomination and movement. Only those who are antinomian will find themselves at odds with this theological position. As believers we should continue to conform our lives to the very nature of God and the standard, He has set forward for us. Such a standard is found within the pages of our Bible. This is not an outrageous claim, in fact, the majority of Christian denominations will agree to some extent with this position. If the law of God is not the standard for the believer in Jesus Christ, then what is the standard?
It should quickly be noted that observance of God’s law will not gain anyone favor in God’s eyes, nor will it help justify us in anyway. Rather, it is the natural want for followers of Christ to conform to our Lord’s commands. This may look different from community to community, but those who are justify by faith alone will naturally want to follow the Word of God. We see this said specifically in the book of James it states:
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[a] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
