Hello Krispy you wrote: "2) Not all Baptists teach this. (especially southern Baptists which primarily teach Semi-Pelagianism... as do most evangelical churches today)"Could you expound further giving examples of what you consider to be semi-pelagian in their doctrine?One more question: in your view what are the warning passages in scripture for?Russ
brother Krispy, then why makes statements like that when you know it will spark further dialogue.... Russ
hi, who said i believe in osas? i believe in the eternal security of the BELIEVER.jimp
Approved said: "Jim, I agree with 99.9% of your post Brother."Then we must start a denomination together so others can learn our doctrine! Seriously though, I agree with you too and realized that after reading your recent posts. Can you give me a description of someone that would fit Hebrews 10:26. Would they still claim Jesus with their lips but deny them by their actions - or deny him outright?In Christ -Jim

hi, we are saved by grace thru faith. biblical faith is hearing a word from God personally and receiving it and believing it and OBEYING it.if you are saved you are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh and by walking in the Spirit than you are walking in obedience.jimp of course you fail...that is why you need a redeemer and Someone to make intercession for you.jimp john 3:16 God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son wo whosoever believe into (eis) Him should have eternal life.
Jim, Though not common, men have turned their back purposefully and as the scripture uses it, willfully.Here is an excerpt from this source you can read the rest on that site if you like. It's a sad story.
As many of you know, Billy Graham and Charles Templeton were evangelists who rose to fame in the 40s (Graham, of course, is still an evangelist). Early in their careers they were friends close friends. Many have said Templeton was the one that everyone thought was going to overturn the world with the Gospel. However, Templeton ended up leaving the Christian faith, eventually becoming an atheist. In 1982, though still an atheist, he said of Billy Graham, There is no feigning in him: he believes what he believes with an invincible innocence. He is the only mass evangelist I would trust (Anecdotal Memoir). Templeton died in 2001 at the age of 86, shortly after he wrote what I consider to be one of the most heart-breaking books ever published: "Farewell to God"
hi, then he was no longer a believer.it is (eternal security of the BELIEVER)jimp
I believe in the insecurity of the unbeliever.
