Nolan: Wow...you do realize your view of eternal security is contrary to Wesley, don't you? He held that a person could be truly saved and then lose it. And I do consider you my brother (and therefore one of the elect)! :) --Joe! |

Blessings Joe, I do not agree with Wesley here: that a person could be truly saved and then somehow lose their salvation. This view must be taken from Hebrews 6:6, since I cannot find any other Scriptural support for it. However, the view that a person cannot "lose" their salvation finds support in 1 Cor. 12:13, Ephesians 1:13, 4:30, John 10:28-30, Isaiah 14:24, Hebrews 7:25, and Romans 8:29-39.. If I look at my own "person" and my own life experience, then I fail to see how it is possible for a Christian (for me anyway) to somehow "lose" our salvation! If we have truly been baptized by the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation (thus being "born again"), then how can we possibly go back on that? This "conclusion" defies all my understanding of Scripture! I simply see it this way: You either are or you aren't. :) Either you are saved or you are not saved. I only see it as "black" or "white". Those who are truly saved cannot somehow "lose" their salvation! I'll have to do some research and see how Wesley defended his conclusions. Thank you my brother and fellow elect! :) --Nolan |
