Subject: Hyper calvinism and Backsliding? |
Bible Note: What is the argument for your position,? Is it that a person cannot have all these experiences and not be saved? Or that a person cannot have anyone of these experiences and not be saved? Or is there one in particular that he cannot have and not be saved? All, some or one in particular? At any rate the premise of your argument seems to be "All who have had all, some or one of these experiences are saved." Which one is it and what is your Scripture that it is so? I want to keep the passage before us so we won't lose sight of what we are studying: Heb. 6:4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Heb. 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, Heb. 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. As of yet you've given no logical argument of how you deduce from the above passage the conclusion "A person can lose his salvation." I know a believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but what is the proof from Scripture that only saved people can "partake" of any benefits of the presence of the Holy Spirit? |
