Simple.

The ‘cut in sunder’ servant has no faith. It quite clearly says that he is with the unbelievers.

The ‘cut in sunder’ servant has no faith. It quite clearly says that he is with the unbelievers.

First it reads, "Fear not, little flock." He speaks to the disciples. The Apostle Peter specifically asks if the parable applies to just them or to all. It shows the reward for the servant who is found faithful when his Lord returns. It progresses to the "But and if" section.

[af_vet_1981]

That was a servant who evidently had faith, yet grew lax, careless, ignored the LORD’s commandments, and mistreated other servants. It is a very strong argument against “once saved, always saved” or “sola fide”.
