I was not the one to start this. Those going on the offensive promoting the pro-OSAS (aka eternal security) doctrine prompted me to refute them. Neither do I believe OSAS believers are not saved or following another Jesus or that we need to pray for them (to convert them)..as some of they do.
Referring to the quote below it includes statements that non-believers in OSAS could be going to hell if we don't repent of denying eternal security... the allegation that we non-OSAS believers possibly believe in "another Jesus" (which is impossible, there is only one Jesus as I'm aware...Paul? was making a statement to confirm that there is no better or more powerful or more perfect Jesus they need to believe in, not condemning those who don't believe in OSAS of following another Jesus)..
Plus the call for OSAS believers to pray for non-OSAS believers. I appreciate all and any prayers but a bit offended that you feel we are so much in error that we need your prayers. What would you pray anyway "dear God please make MahogonySnail a OSAS-believer like myself". There's no need to treat us like non-Christians. Although if this is how fellow Christians are treated I don't know if I'd want to accept your version of Christianity if I was a non-Christian.
Yet, I'm the one with some "infraction notice" for offending people.
An infraction notice? Are you serious? Charismatics get blasted on here all the time but nothing ever gets done about it because the mods roughly hold to the same doctrine of those doing the blasting. Charismatics have been accused of heresy, blasphemy and apostasy on these boards and I assume not a one infraction notice was sent out but the behavior has yet to cease. However, Mahogany gets an infraction because he decides to step up and defend his faith with scripture and biblical concepts that the opposing camp have yet to come up with an answer for?
In my honest opinion, the only way to keep the peace would be for the mods to truly take a nondenominational / unbiased stance that this site professes to hold. When a debate does begin to break out, the mods could simply send out a message to those involved that if they want to continue there debate they should do so via a private messages.
Just my two cents...
