I believe he is saying that a profession of faith can be meaningless.
I can attest to that as I too made a profession of faith at a young age.
If they would of told me that Bambi would keep me out of Hell I would of walked the aisle and asked Bambi into my heart.
And it would of effected just as much change.
"If they would of told me that Bambi would keep me out of Hell I would of walked the aisle and asked Bambi into my heart."
But they didn't, they told you salvation was in Jesus and you, as a child, made a profession based on the knowledge you had at the time and God accepted it. Just because you or Bro. cloud strayed or backslid does not affect your salvation just your communion with God that is restored by confession and repentence, not a new salvation experience. Based on what Bro. Cloud has written, how does anyone know he/she is saved, especially if they fall into sin after they have made a profession of faith?
I think his error in thinking you can make a profession of faith and sin and lose your salvation or worse, not knowing if it took or was just an emotional experience is as bad if not worse than what he is accusing BG of.
