    Once Saved Always Saved: Fact or Fiction?

    Yes, it would. It's hard to imagine but God's grace is even sufficient for crazed mass murderer like Adolf Hitler. Once saved, we become children of God, and he disciplines us as his children. Most Christians, including myself, recognize almost immediately when we are being disciplined...

    Once Saved Always Saved: Fact or Fiction?

    HOwever, from earlier this week; I like how in John 10:28, Jesus said "I give them eternal life and they shall never perish..". Notice how Jesus doesn't go on to say "except if....unless....etc." If we could lose our salvation, don't you think our lord would have put a ginormous disclaimer...

    Once Saved Always Saved: Fact or Fiction?

    No it doesn't. As the parable of the sower goes on to say there are those who accept Christ, persevere, are tested and show fruit and prove that they have roots. Security is not for someone who raised their hands at church or even walked up an aisle. security is for those who have abided...

    Once Saved Always Saved: Fact or Fiction?

    Okay, so I'll ask again....At what point are you not Christian enough, or not following Jesus enough, that you can lose your salvation? Are there any verses in the bible that tell us where we need to be at to retain our salvation? Furthermore, if there isn't a way to "measure" how saved we are...

    Is it acceptable for Christians in Britain to socially drink?

    I also think that it is the American culture of "excess" that has given alcohol a bad name here, also. A much as I love the USA, the excessive culture is our own worst enemy in a lot of ways. The "blanks" can be: -2 beers/10 beers -a hamburger/a double-meat, cheese, and bacon burger. -a...

    I sure wish you Brits....

    I saw some McV's milk chocolate covered biscuits in a store this weekend, on the packaging it said "special 59p!" (about $1) How much was it marked for in the store? $3.60! Highway robbery. :mad:

    Is it acceptable for Christians in Britain to socially drink?

    That's kind of what I thought. The biggest problem with drinking in the US is the preception by lost people. Over here, if a Christian was seen drinking a beer at a resturant by a non-christian who doesn't drink, this may be a stumbing block for the Christian. However, because everyone (over...

    Is it acceptable for Christians in Britain to socially drink?

    I know that in the US, especially in the south, drinking alcohol is heavily debated. However, alcohol is viewed much differently here than Europe. My wife (who is from the UK but not a christian) has wine occasionally with dinner or, on occasions, she'll have a Guinness with Pizza. Is it like...

    Not looking good for the n00b....

    Thanks for the prayers everyone! Update: my wife and I have decided to stay under the same roof, but "separate" by staying in different rooms. For all intents and purposes, we are roommates. We have drawn up rules for our living conditions and we are both expected to live by them (mainly the...

    Howdy AJ! I believe that FBC Pflugerville was started as a Mission by Round Rock FBC. I have visited with y'all several times and you have a wonderful congregation. Dr. Brinkley is also a great speaker and I have thoroughly enjoyed worshipping with RR FBC!
