    I think you are mistaken. But I am not going to argue the point. Pax.

    Spiritual Baptism

    I agree, there are two baptisms, one WITH the Holy Spirit and another BY the Holy Spirit. I would differ in that the Baptism WITH the Holy Spirit is subsequent to conversion.

    "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Neither fornicators....nor adulterers.... will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor 6:9,10. NKJV. You can't get around the plain meaning of scripture, a Christian who commits adultery, remains...

    So, do you believe that if a Christian walks away from Christ or lives in an adulterous relationship, if he were to die, would still go to Heaven?

    Methodist Church continues to split.

    The rot first set in the Methodist Church when they rejected Wesley's doctrine of entire sanctification. Since then it has been a downward spiral.

    The Security Of The Believer

    I think it comes down to this. Is salvation CONDITIONAL or UNCONDITIONAL? If unconditional, then it is all from God's side. If it is conditional, as I believe it is, faith and obedience must continue throughout our lifetime. If I cease to believe and cease to obey, I have opted out of the...

    The Security Of The Believer

    I do not know which Arminians you have in mind but I, as an Arminian am not eccentric and I don't have a casual approach to Jesus. I believe you need to read up Arminian authors and get your information first hand rather that the straw men invented by Calvinists.

    Is sanctification frequently misunderstood?

    There is a great need for the truth of sanctification or holiness to be preached from our pulpits. The spiritual life of the average church goer is such that you have to backslide to have fellowship with them. The writer to the Hebrews made it very plain, 'without holiness, no one will see the...

    Enduring to the end.

    Salvation is conditioned on faith in Christ. Not just when we were first converted but a faith that is continuous over a life time. That is what is meant by," He who endures to the end shall be saved".

    Enduring to the end.

    Saving faith is NOT the act of the moment, but the habit of a lifetime.

    Is sanctification frequently misunderstood?

    Sanctification is indeed misunderstood by many Christians. For many it is a vague belief. For others it is a real heart experience that has set them free from sin to love God with their whole being and their neighbor as themselves.

    “This Old Man”

    The 'Old Man' is not the 'sin nature' but what I was 'in Adam'. In other words, my pre-conversion self.

    Once saved always saved (OSAS) debunked

    Bob, I think you do Arminian theologians a disservice. Most I know believe that one loses their salvation after a protracted period of time rejecting the Christian Faith, not over a once only sin. Robert Shank's book 'Life In The Son" is a real jewel.

    For the Christian, when does God forgive sins?

    I would say that they are covered by the grace of God. One does not fall from grace over one sin but rather a deliberate rejection of one's Christian faith.
