Subject: Salvation: Instantaneous, progressive? |
Bible Note: Dear Ed, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I receive your post in the spirit given! Thank you! I guess that my question about salvation is for those that DON'T understand Greek, barely getting by in English (or Japanese). There are many that cannot grasp the concept of instantaneous complete salvation. To these it is 'theory' or 'mystical,' and the past is but a vague memory, with many shameful events clouding their vision. These folks, fellow saints, need faith today (and probably tomorrow), because yesterday's faith didn't seem (to them) to work very well. To these, progressive salvation IS salvation! No matter what the pundits say, no matter the Scripture that says the future glory is available in their hearts now because of a past confession. These need reassurance daily, and the Psalm above seems to provide this new, fresh (re)assurance. Bless you for a thoughtful post! In Christ Jesus, charis |
