I am not the one who can assure your salvation, and I don't pretend to. My statements reflect that. Only you and God know, and if you, as a graduate of Elim, I presume that you may believe as those whose theology is derived of that of Jakob Arminius. If so, and if Arminianism is true, your salvation is not secure. Therefore I must speak to you with that in mind. You easily jump to conclusions, and are now accusing me of being your judge. I am not, but if your treatment of Scripture shows flaws that undermine your soteriology, I must treat you as though you are not saved, no matter what you say, in the hope that you may indeed be moved to an assurance of irreversible spiritual birth.
You may find this offensive and provoking a retort, but that wouldn't improve your position, one way or the other.
"Pride goeth before a fall", ya' know! Wine can only make you stumble...
Sir, if I were you, I'd be very careful in talking about pride in someone else. Don't confuse it with a firm assurance.
No, I find your post laughable, since you speak with such authority about things in which you clearly are incorrect. Then, you ascribe notions about others and claim the high ground. That is defined as hypocrisy and is just a little above comedy. Your lofty rhetoric displays a supreme arrogance.
Have a nice life. You will be judged as you wish. I have already been judged!
Romans 14: 14 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. ...
WHY must you?
