    I've been interested in these soteriology issues for a few years, and I still haven't gotten to the bottom of how they apply in all the churches. Who can explain to me the Lutheran view? I have heard that it is not calvinistic now. They believe you can lose your salvation once having it. So...

    So ashamed!

    My secret love of writing silly and pensive stories with basically bad grammar has gotten out-of-control. And, I have succeeded in corrupting a thread on the forums somewhere. I thought I could bring my controlled insanity needs over here? Instead of victimizing innocent, unaware CF readers.
