1 | Once saved, aways saved doctrine refuted | Matt 10:1 | srbaegon | 54097 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Let's look at the parable--one sower, one type of seed, four soils. 1. Hard soil--the person just doesn't understand what is being said. 2. Rocky soil--understands and receives the seed but it never takes root. 3. Thorny soil--understands and receives the seed but it never bears fruit. 4. Good soil--understands and receives the seed and bears fruit. What are their conditions? 1. Never got it. Can't be a believer. 2. Never took root. Can't be a believer. 3. Grew and was unfruitful. Possibly a believer. 4. Grew and was fruitful. Definitely a believer. I say "possibly" for #3, but from an agricultural viewpoint, the only one that matters is #4. That one is the only soil that produced anything. That being the case, the other three conditions never could have had life (i.e. were never believers). Steve |

3. Grew and was unfruitful. Possibly a believer. Either this person is in or out, there is no middle ground. If in, Jesus said this person is now lost forever. true or false? This make faith only impossible, because you don't know the hearts of men, and I know you to have seen folks start out strong in the Lord, witnessing and preaching and everything, then something happens to them and they fall away. Is this true from your experience? I have seen some come back to the Lord to. |

Hello Grace and Truth "Either this person is in or out, there is no middle ground. If in, Jesus said this person is now lost forever. true or false?" True. He was never a believer. See the summary of my last posting. "Is this true from your experience?" I only know one such case. I know the father of the man, and he has related the story to me. He believes his son was never saved. Steve |
