1 | Eternal Security and 2 Peter 2:20 ??? | 2 Peter | jg8ball | 1077 | ||
Thank you! I agree with everything you said. My concern is with people that believe that God pre-chose certain people to be saved. In other words, they believe that there are certain people that are unable to be saved. This is what an elder at the church I attend is telling me. He calls himself Calvinistic and believes firmly in the Doctrine of Election. There are just too many verses that talk otherwise. I also get frustrated when people say things like "since there are 255 times the elect, election, chose, chosen and choose appear then that proves the doctrine. What they fail to do is look up the words, read them in context, and see that they (or at least the majority of them) have nothing to do with Election. What I'm starting to see though is that there appears to be different levels of belief in Election. Those that believe ALL can be saved and those that believe SOME can be saved. I believe ALL can be saved - through FAITH ALONE. I'm not sure why JVH0212 keeps implying that I believe it's also by works. God offered me salvation through Jesus and I elected to accept it. |

...by His grace, right? jg8ball, I couldn't help adding this to the end of your note. It IS true, even if it is not Election with a capital 'E' (...which rhymes with 'P' which means 'Pool!' Sorry, we were watching "The Music Man" the other day :-) In any case, I fully expect to see jg8ball and JVH0212 together as brethren someday in His glorious eternity. That's my point. I cannot discard wholesale either opinion or bent, and I cannot endorse in the Lord any capital 'X' doctrine. How then should we live? Excommunicating one another is an option, but I don't think it is Godly. Discussion, prayer, humility, repentance toward God, and fellowship of the saints is the option I choose. With love in Christ Jesus. | ||||||
