I’m already in for the long haul, but thanks kindly for the invite.
One of the problems with a once saved, always saved style of philosophy is a human-typical complaisence that may set in. If I understand that I am answerable for my sins and that my actions will lead me straight to hell unless, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, might I be more inclined to lead a holy life than someone who figures that they’re already in no matter what they do thereafter?
I understand your position, I disagree with it.
I am so overjoyed by the justification that I have in Jesus, that I want to do those things that God has put before me. Not that I need to do them for my salvation, but doing them because I love God so much. I have assurance that no matter what, God has a place for me in heaven. That is why I rejoice in him.
I assume you are a father... What would your children have to do for you to quit loving them? Could they ever get to that point? We may chastize them, withhold benefits, even punish them, but we don’t stop loving them. It is the same with God. He sent his Son to die so that we can be loved by him. Praise God.
