Subject: Why would we be undone? |
Bible Note: Rowdy, I can't speak for Hank, but I will address 3 points here: 1. We are seriously failing to communicate, my friend! 2. I am not "dodging" any point. However, if we don't get a basic understanding of the terminology and definitions regarding how we're saved (that's Soteriology), it's useless to continue. We'll play cat and mouse ad infinitum. 3. As to John 15, it must be understood in light of Pauline doctrine regarding salvation. Remember, Christ had not yet died on the cross. In short, I do not base my ENTIRE understanding of salvation or Eternal Security upon this passage. The thief on the cross was told by the Lord that "today you will be with Me in paradise". His faith in recognizing that Christ was the savior must have been sufficient. Lastly, this is just a recommendation, but if you're not familiar with terms such as Soteriology, etc. you might want to consider reading a work on Systematic Theology.
