Subject: What is eternal life? What is saved? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank! You wrote: "..... Frankly, I've never heard of, and find it most difficult to believe, a single example wherein a truly redeemed child of God who said to God, "Look, I've changed my mind. I don't want your salvation. I want to die and go to a devil's hell and live with the devil and his angels for all eternity." Have you? --Hank" I have only encountered one example that I would think fits this definition. My brother-in-law accepted Christ as a youngster, grew up in the church, and was fully informed in theology. When he was about 24, he meet a woman at a baptist church camp. They got married and he completely turned his back on Christ. He is currently into every new age heresy you can think of. He won't even talk about Christianity anymore. He thinks we are all immature spiritually and that he has advanced to a higher plane of spirituality now. He is the only person that I have ever know personally who I think would fit Heb. 6:4-6. Like you, I cannot understand how someone who has known the love of Christ could ever completely turn their back on Christ. But, it does happen. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
