What if he repents? As per Lutheran theology (please correct if I'm wrong), he can and will be saved. however, the saved person can also lose his salvation and reject God.
Ezekiel 33 says that both can happen.
Do you agree/disagree with Dr. E's statement in post 2873 Thanks for providing evidence that the liberal church teaching of free will has infected the Lutherans, too, in contradiction to what Martin Luther taught from Scripture.
As a Lutheran, you will of course reject double-predestination, correct? So then what do you make of Dr. Eck's statement For example, (some) Lutherans, Pentecostals, Methodists do not believe in double-predestination are there any Lutherans that DO believe in double-predestination?
To: Cronos; Dr. Eckleburg
Anyone who truly repents is truly forgiven. That is a true statement. However, it does not follow that because a man hangs the Christian label on himself that that makes him a Christian. The Apostle John would say that they leave us because they never really were part of us.
I repeat again that I am a Methodist and not a Lutheran.
