Preaching and teaching against eternal security …
is definitely NOT for new Christians, “babes on milk”.
For many of them, it would be much too discouraging!
But, as they grow in the faith, the precious Holy Spirit
will be trying to revealing deeper spiritual Truths to them.
However, the Spirit only speaks with a still small voice
...which is quite an unfair fight when compared to the opposition: (1) the onslaughts of Satan’s demons,
and (2) man’s fleshly desires!
And these maturing BACs have other big problems to overcome!
There are deceived pastors in the church, who pass on
their deceptions to the poor sheep who depend on them.
Yes, there are false doctrines within the church
... obvious because of all of the many denominations.
Jesus and everyone in the NT warn about false doctrines
and false teachers and false prophets.
Some pastors are SO deceived about eternal security
that they believe the warning verses in the NT concerning
those who are sinning … are only for unsaved people!
Some pastors are NOT deceived, but have allowed themselves to be taken captive by the enemy … and have chosen to prefer the praise of men and the riches of this world over God’s praise! They refuse to preach unpopular doctrines that drive people away, resulting in their kingdom being diminished and fewer tithes coming in!
Then, we have believers who recognize the warning verses, but choose to ignore or reject them so they can stay on the easy and fun broad road.
Many NT verses teach against eternal security.
Most of these Truths are proven by many NT verses:
● Believers stay righteous by practicing righteousness
● Believers stay righteous through their obedience
● Believers faith must endure until the end of their lives
● Believers keep salvation by repenting of their sins
● Believers were chosen and called to live holy lives
● Believers must love, forgive, not judge or condemn
● Believers must be victorious overcomers
● Believers must stay faithful during persecution
● Believers must not take the mark of the beast
Lately, Satan has deceived much of the church into believing that God’s grace is guaranteed to last forever
in believers’ lives. Some people are calling this
“hyper grace” (extreme grace). The truth of the matter
is that Ephesians 2:8-9 is ONLY saying: it is only
by God’s grace that sinful people can be born again!
Even if your Bible says “by grace you are being saved”, salvation is still a process -- not to be completed
until death. Please understand: man’s co-operation
is involved in his salvation. He can choose to
fall away, fall from grace, draw back to perdition.
He can be shut out of the Kingdom of God.
He can be shut out of the New Jerusalem.
He can be blotted out of the Book of Life.
He can gain eternal death, and he can lose eternal life.
All of this is clearly stated in the NT.
