Installment four: The Analogical Evidence Evidence from the analogy of Scripture is consistent with the teaching of the New Testament in other places; a Christian may lose or gain rewards according to what he does with the stewardship God has given him (1 Cor. 3:11f; 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10; Luke 19:11-26). In fact, if the promises of Revelation 2 and 3 are not restrictive, then we have what appears to be a contradiction between Luke 19:11f and Revelation 2:26 and 3:21. Many believe there is a difference in the New Testament between entrance into heaven and being an heir of the kingdom (cf. Rom. 8:16-17). True, some of the promises are hard to explain and understand as rewards and not as general gifts that go with eternal life, but because of the above evidence we should give strong consideration to the view that these are promises that pertain to rewards. 8 John F.

Eagle: Length forgiven, but it was not a very well-thought out article. Why? Because the argument over whether there are differing rewards in heaven is completely different from the argument of whether one who continues in a state of unrepentance is truly saved in the first place. This article jumbles these two arguments up and presents no Scriptural support that individuals can "accept Jesus" as their Savior and continue to reject Him as Lord. Incidentally, while that view is certainly held by Ryrie and Hodges (ugh!) as well as many on the Dallas Theological Seminary faculty (which published "The Bible Knowledge Commentary"), it is a view that Barnhouse soundly rejected and John MacArthur refutes in many excellent books. I think it would have been nice to connect the endnotes you list here to actual things being said, because many of the folks here actually disagree with what is in the article itself. Lastly, the thing that disturbs me about this antinomian view the most is that by necessity it must ignore the clear-as-crystal teachings of our Savior on the fact that there are some who claim to be saved but aren't. There are those who will be saying "Lord, Lord" and Jesus will be telling them to go away. There are tares among the wheat, goats among the sheep, unprofitable "servants" that will be cast into the outer darkness with much weeping and gnashing of teeth. WHile we are not saved by works, divorcing the earthly, progressive sanctification of the believer from his true justification is completely and totally unbiblical. --Joe! |

3 | God's Forgiveness of Sin | Mic 7:19 | bygraceyearesaved | 30522 | ||
Tis is coming from bygraceyearesaved, I'm addressing the topic of Forgiveness of sins. God didn't deposit forgiveness of into an account with our name on it so that we can make wihtdrawals when we need it. When we wereborn again, He emptied the entire forgiveness account on us!!!! Our debt was paid in full when Jesus Christ died , and it became effective in our lives when we turned to Him in faith. | ||||||
