"...I was a Christian, and now I am not...".

Thats not possible, unless you think you can prove otherwise by using Scripture and the historical record to legitimately refute Horton's essay on Palagianism that I posted at #209.

Thats not possible, unless you think you can prove otherwise by using Scripture and.....
 
(I'll try)

Galatians 3
 
 1.  You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
 
 
Galatians 3:26-27
 26.  You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
 27.  for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

 
Galatians 5:1-4
 1.  It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 
  2.  Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 
 3.  Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
 4.  You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
 
 
Colossians 1:21-23
21.  Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of  your evil behavior.
 22.  But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--
 23.  if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
 
 
Colossians 2:6-8
 6.  So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,
 7.  rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
 8.  See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
 
 
1 Timothy 4:16
 16.  Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
 
 
1 Timothy 6:3-5
 3.  If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
 4.  he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 
 5.  and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
 
 
2 Timothy 2:12
 12.  if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
 
 
Hebrews 2:1-3
 1.  We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
 2.  For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
 3.  how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
 
 
Hebrews 3:6
 6.  But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
 
 
Hebrews 3:14
 14.  We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
 
 
Hebrews 6:4-6
 4.  It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
 5.  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,
 6.  if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because  to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
 
 
Hebrews 10:38-39
 38.  But my righteous one  will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
 39.  But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
 
 
James 5:19-20
 19.  My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
 20.  remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
 
 
2 Peter 1:10-11
 10.  Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
 11.  and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
 
2 Peter 2:20
 20.  If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
 
 
 
1 John 2:24
 24.  See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
 
 
Revelation 2:5
 5.  Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
