One down, Kevin, four to go.

Quite a few believe in Eternal Security as well so I think it's two down and three to go. 40% is better than 0%. ;^)

I've found that a lot of people say they believe in Eternal Security because, of course, it makes sense and is Scriptural.

But when questioned, they back off, and fall back into tired cliches, insisting they still could loose their salvation if they goofed up big-time. That's because they usually believe man has the power to surprise God, and that God's Eternal Decree is more a "wish list."

Like so many things, they need to follow their beliefs to their illogical conclusions.

Try asking them if they could still trip up and go to hell. I think the answers might surprise you.

More's the pity. For Arminians, there's no real security in God; only the tenuous hope in their good behavior, wise choices and God's suggestions.
