I think you might just be misunderstanding me, yes. To my knowledge, within the eternal security doctrinal frame there are only two ways to deal with the problem of backsliding: The person was insincere when he thought he was converted and therefore never "saved." The person may or may not...

Hey Palsy Walsy (Sis), Everyone is under the law until they are converted, aren't they? Upon conversion, the sin is forgiven, and the law is written on the heart, causing the converted one to no longer be under the law, am I right? To me, it seems that the only contention is about the...

Wow, this thread's pretty hot!

Thing is: There really ought to be a few more than that, usually. :D

Nothing personal, of course, but this means the eternal security doctrine provides no assurance whatsoever. The matter of being able to "lose salvation" vs. the contrary is a moot point if the accepted point of soteriology is that conversion depends on human sincerity. I'll take a hard pass on...

S. M. Lockridge - "That's My King"

Don't feel bad--I'm the poster boy. ;)

Ever since I first spotted this question, even though I knew it was not addressed to me personally, I knew I could not leave it unanswered. It’s THE question for Christians, isn’t it? THE question for unconverted seekers is “Why am I here?” (although I often find that Christians don’t agree on...

No sweat. Yeah, I kinda figured. That's why I was careful to say "seem to be."

Maybe I'm missing something but you seem to be quoting and upbraiding @Jennifer Rogers for something Grailhunter said¿ o_O

I see you're getting around; That's great!!

Actually, I got it straight from the source: Steps to Christ Do you mind? :)

Nature and revelation alike testify of God's love. Our Father in heaven is the source of life, of wisdom, and of joy. Look at the wonderful and beautiful things of nature. Think of their marvelous adaptation to the needs and happiness, not only of man, but of all living creatures. The sunshine...

Short and sweet--just had to show the rest of us up, huh? :p :D:D:D

You're too kind. It was just a checkup. :)

I gotta answer... Nope. :):D

No one "gets saved." We're still here. Salvation as it is often portrayed is a doctrine of demons. Life eternal is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ, Whom He has sent. Knowing Jesus is literally everything to the Christian. "Salvation" (the fake kind) is about brute self-preservation...

Yeah, the devil has really done a number on our language over the last 100 or so years. :)

I'm really sure that is not how this thing works. He will save you for the very reason you think He won't. No one has ever been good enough to give Jesus a reason to save them. If you do not cast yourself at His feet and acknowledge that you are completely helpless and dependent upon Him to...

The question is not "Why did you become a Christian," but "Why are you a Christian?" Perfect love casts out all fear.
