Thanks.
Good. Keep it up. Kind of comforting, actually.
Though I wouldn't want you to suffer false hopes!
I don't know if you've ever read me say, or not.
When I was first in Taipei in the Navy, there was an elderly Assembly of God former missionary who pastored the little military chapel we attended. A very small group of us.
Anyway--he entertained requests to preach on whatever. He was a wise, loving soul. Had been one of the last out of Mainland China--in 1955 and just about didn't make it out alive.
I asked him to preach on the topic of Calvinism/Arminianism--however I put it at the time.
I was close friends with a Southern Baptist gal and associated a lot with her and her missionary colleagues. All very staunch Calvinists.
Anyway--Bro Vigna presented Scriptures on Both sides. I suppose on summary he came down on the side of Arminianism but you'd hardly have known it. He really emphasized that the WHOLE COUNSEL OF SCRIPTURE was on both sides. That was interesting.
Certainly, over the years, I've learned that contrary to my rearing in a very fundamental sort of A of G church--God was not going to cancel someone's Salvation if the Rapture occurred when someone was frowning.
On the other hand, there ARE plenty of Scriptures indicating that one can remove Himself from under the Blood so to speak. But I don't think it's as easy as some may think.
Doubt that conviction is going to change this side of Heaven. Too many Scriptures on that side, too.
