AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. [John 7:39; Acts 2:33] |
Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Tim, Yes they do, those quotes make it clear they did. However, my understanding is those guys were on "the fringes." They were not (at all) in the majority and did not have an influence on "the main body of believers" in the conservative, fundamental arena. There's was not the excepted view of the conservative church fathers. And, as noted they followed many of the teachings of the Catholic Church and not those "outside of Rome." Something to look into. Historically the free will position has not been held by the vast majority of those in the traditional and conservative camps. Yes, the free will position has been around along time, but not by those whose over-all doctrines were held in esteem. By the way, my name is not Tim; I was addressing you. I will stick with InHimITrust for now. God Bless |
