There never was or ever can be" a born Securist. "You reader, or any other truly born again Christian, cannot read Eternal Security verses and get Eternal Security "out of " them. The only way that Eternal Security can be attached to these verses is to "read it into" them. This proves that Eternal Security is an extra-Biblical, external philosophy, seeking Biblical sanction. People are "educated into" Eternal Security, just as truly as atheists are "educated into" atheism. - Henry Schilling
Eternal Security is surely Satan's masterpiece. This doctrine that claims that one can be "in Christ," while willingly dead in "trespasses and sins, " is pure heresy. The doctrine is rooted in unbelief, seeing that they deny that Christ has any power to deliver the believer here and now. The Bible tells us that Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil, and that Jesus came to save His people from their sins, not in their sins. A Savior who cannot live up to his promises to deliver us from our sins in this life cannot be depended upon to deliver us after our death! I am uncomfortably confident that at the consummation of time, it will be revealed that this sole doctrine alone will have populated the regions of hell far more than all other false teachings put together. Those that teach this heresy have exchanged light for darkness, truth for lies, and called it the Gospel! - Jeff Paton
This doctrine completely destroys the distinction between right and wrong, and removes all motives to abstain from sin. It boasts in the perseverance of the saints, while it believes in no saint but one, that is, Jesus, and neglects to persevere. - Daniel Steele
"Nor does the preaching of this internal slavery, this bondage of spiritual corruption, shock our hearers. No: this mixture of light and darkness passes for the gospel in these days." - John Fletcher
"How few of our
celebrated pulpits are there, where more has not been said at times for sin
than against it?" - John Fletcher
"I
believe in the perseverance of the saints; it is the perseverance of the sinners
that I have a difficulty with." - Harry Jessop
"For whom ye yield yourselves, servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey." (Rom. 6:16) "If we are compelled, therefore, to yield ourselves servants to sin, and be subject to Satan's power, insomuch that we cannot help but obey him, and really have no choice in the matter, then our free agency, our volition, destroyed; and to make matters worse, the devil has more power than God. Satan can make us disobey God, but alas, God cannot make us disobey Satan. The devil compels us to be sinners, but God cannot compel us to be righteous. What kind of doctrine is this?" -Howard W. Sweeten
"Why should a man be looked upon by those who claim to be Christians, as a crank or fanatic, simply because he dares to believe God's Word and His power to save?" - Howard W. Sweeten
"It is
manifestly improper to speak of a believer who sees nothing desirable in
holiness. A man who can say, "I have no desire to be holy," cannot be
a true experimental believer in Christ."

Are
you gambling your salvation on a cliché?
Since
your page is titled "Eternal Security: A Biblical Perspective,"
why do you spend so much time using the words of others instead of
Scripture?
Answer: This is an astute observation! The reason for this is because Eternal Security is a theological argument, and not a Biblical one. It is a theological invention, and should be treated as such in the starting pages response. I believe that the doctrine of Eternal Security has been given its most appropriate position at the very start of this page. This objection that has been raised by many people is however an excuse, and not a reason for objecting to this page. I have given 173 Scriptural Reasons in the article "200 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BELIEVE IN ETERNAL SECURITY!," and have exposed the exegetical fallacies that people use to "find" Eternal Security from certain Scriptures in the articles, "THE EIGHT PILLARS OF ETERNAL SECURITY," and "THE PILLARS OF ETERNAL SECURITY Part Two." A candid examination is made of the Scriptures concerning the words of abide, hold on, continue, remain, and endure to the end, in the article "HOLD ON!". The bottom line is, there are just too many Scriptural arguments against the doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved to fit them all on the first page. I make all these things available for those that have the integrity to click beyond the first page before they criticize. |
