During our most recent study, one of our regulars spurred a lively discussion surrounding the subject of eternal security. Now what in the theological world is eternal security? It\u2019s the doctrine that assures every believer that \u201conce saved, always saved.\u201d YET, throughout Church history, this subject has stirred fierce debate.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Simply because some Bible passages aren\u2019t as clear as we would wish them to be. Couple this interpretive conundrum with the questionable behavior of some professed Christians, it&#8217;s easy to see why many denominations have espoused the opposing view: that some Christians can so spiritually mess up that they can lose their salvation.<\/p>\n<p>It often looks something like this: A person responds to the Gospel message and professes faith in Jesus; but then over time, the person evidences little-to-no spiritual growth. Or \u2013 a person does evidence some spiritual changes and even sustains them for a period of time; only later to fall off the spiritual table big time. Deduction: in both case scenarios, one\u2019s salvation is lost.<\/p>\n<p>Why not come out this Sunday as the Apostle Paul also contributed to this debate in a sermon I\u2019ve entitled, \u201cJesus &amp; Me \u2013 BFF\u2019s\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our church families hosts a Bible Study on the first and third Friday evenings every month.
