Eternal Security

[BNR32FAN]

I have read all the replies, but the bottom line is simple: regardless of one's behavior one still goes to heaven.
And yet how can a person even have eternal security since there is no way in this world of knowing ehrthwr or not the faith was sufficient to merit salvation and heaven??

Repentance and works do not merit salvation. They are both fruits of faith. If you have faith repentance and works come naturally. It is having this kind of faith that saves someone. Not the works or repentance or how much works or repentance.

I have read articles that present NT verses that contradiction the concept of "perseverance of the saints" or guaranteed salvation. I am curious as to how the supporters of the concept refute these claims regarding these verses.

I am not at all Calvinist. Here is a forum where most Calvinist hang out. I once worked with a Calvinist who would argue day and night with you regarding the doctrines of salvation...

Salvation (Soteriology)

That forum is for Christians only. But I didn't see specifically refutations of the employment of verses that are used to challenge guaranteed salvation.

“Anybody that asks to be saved WILL be saved”.....if this is not true Paul and God are liars.That is impossible.

Talking to a Calvinist is like banging your head against a wall.

You do it a few times and then hopefully stop. Lol
