Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: First of all I would add 4)How does it apply to us? in your guidelines of interpretation. Second, I do not consider healing, tongues, raising dead, and being unharmed by poisonous snakes as doctrine, but as miracles. Some were used to confirm the gospel spoken to the people, others were used as a means to edify the church. Paul being bit by a snake was just an accident but he being an apostle endowed with all the blessings of the Holy Spirit was the reason he was unharmed. In answer to your last question about Mark 16:16-18 I would say yes, it does provide doctrine, but I would also include that you would have to look at it using the four guidelines. 1. Who is speaking? Jesus 2. Who is spoke to? The eleven (vs 14) 3. What is spoke about? Spreading the gospel 4. How does it apply to us? There are two conditions that must be met in this text for a person to be saved, belief and baptism. This applies to all people then and now. Based on teaching elsewhere in the bible I do not believe that people today speak in tongues, heal, raise the dead, or are unharmed by poisonous snake bites. I anticipate your next question to be "Where is this other teaching?" but I will let you confirm your inquiry in your next post. It will require some time to prepare an adequate response because this is another issue of heated debate. Thanks. |
