Eternal Security Part 2

INTRO: Last Sunday I spoke in the LaCrete Bergthaler
Church. I mentioned that I had spoken at the recent tragic funeral and had said I did not believe in the "once saved always safe" doctrine. Since I did not have time to make a theological defence for what I said I chose to speak about it last Sunday. I feel that to even briefly cover this teaching I need at least three messages. I began last Sunday with explaining historic Calvinism. For those of you who have taken our Wednesday Bible studies you will be familiar with what I covered in that message since it deals with the famous TULIP, total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and the perseverance of the saints.

For those of you who are interested in that message you can get it on tape from the church. In the first message I dealt with historic Calvinism. Today I want to deal with what I believe the Bible teaches. Next Sunday Lord willing I will speak on objections to the view I hold. I have never preached on this topic before. I have covered various aspects of it in Bible studies or Bible courses. I do not plan to preach on this topic again for a long time unless I should come to some great and new discoveries. I am having these messages taped so that when I am asked what I believe I can say, "Here are the tapes of what I believe. Listen to them." If you would like these taped messages please sign up at the back and I will see that you get a set.
