Here is a book review on the subject of eternal security.

I had posted that the Calvinist has no more basis for confidence in his eternal security then the Arminian.

This book states that same thesis.

Eaton's goal is to present a "non-legalistic" theology where a person finds assurance in Christ's completed work at the cross. "What I am urging, on the basis of this biblical material, is that there may be an approach to security and admonition that does not imply justification by works and yet which does not have the in-built legalism and introspection of developed Calvinism"

And folks call Calvinism "easy-believism"! How does this fellow interpret James, I wonder?

For all readers,

There is a chart that goes along with the article.

I do not know how to post charts, so I did not post it along with the article.

you might want to check out the chart.

I am not sure if the author is being totally fair in ascribing 'legalism' to Arminianism.

But the issue of rewards (on the far right side of the chart) is what the Christian loses or gains in his Christian walk, not his salvation.
