Anyone who does not agree with God that they have eternal, a secure salvation which cannot be forsaken, forfeited or lost is preaching a gospel of works which is no gospel at all.
Such people seem determined to drag us all onto that emotional ride of fear and bondage to IN-security. Misery loves company.
Psalm 37:28 - For the Lord loves justice, And
does not forsake His saints; They are
preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
Jude 1:1 - Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and
preserved in Jesus Christ.
For eternal IN-securists "slippery grace/difficult burden perseverance/self preservation" IS a big part of THEIR gospel. They seem to believe that Christ merely "initially" saved them, but now it's up to them to "pull themselves up by their own bootstraps" and "keep themselves saved" through personal endeavor and self preservation and seem to be satisfied with believing that Christians all around them may be losing their salvation, but that is not the case for them because they have worked so hard at "preserving themselves."
*Now guess who gets ALL the credit for that?
