301: Bible Texts Calvinists misuse to prove "Eternal Security"
What these passages are really teaching is that nothing can harm the Christian who submits to God and obeys His commandments. But if that individual starts to willingly disobey and openly practice sin in rebellion to God will be lost. Here they leave the security of the "hand of God". Jesus plainly said he would to unfaithful Christians "I will spit you out of My mouth" Rev 3:16 Jesus said he would "throw away branches that do not abide in Him": Jn 15:6 Romans 8:35-39 faithful follower of Christ, "they shall never perish." We cannot be separated from the love of Christ. But this verse does not teach that we can never be separated from the salvation which is in Christ. Christ's love for man and salvation in Christ are two different things. We can separate ourselves from Christ, but not from His love. If They Fall Away, They Weren't Saved In The First Place: 1 Jn 2:19 The Bible clearly teaches a Christian can fall away This passage merely says that at the time they "went out" they were ... ...

Watch yourself!!! 2 John 8-9 "Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

312: Door Knocking as a method of Evangelism

The church multiplied in number, 6:7. Why did door knocking work so well then? Those Christians who approached the lost in the early church, had a message that moved the lost to want eternal life. Their approach was not an invitation to a church meeting or to take a course by mail with the promise that no one would call on them. They taught Christ and him crucified, 1 Corinthians 2:2. The early church was also interested in helping physically, Galatians 6:10. Jesus' example of Matthew 14:14-21 had taught the disciples to be concerned for the physical & spiritual needs of the lost.

It is interesting to note that in the Biblical accounts when people have fallen, it is the sinners who fall backwards (Jh. 18:6). There simply is no legitimate manner in which this verse can be used to shore up a doctrine of being slain in the spirit. The text in Revelation 1:17 also fails to meet the test when examined.

Exemption from penalty without deliverance from sin would not be salvation. If a good man were to go to Hell and retain his goodness he would be saved.

328: Teens! Use Your Freedom Wisely!
True freedom requires individual maturity and self-restraint. Free societies have comparatively few police; they require that individual citizens police themselves. If many citizens fail this duty, the society must either fall or become oppressive. Positive freedom, under law and under self-restraint, is outlined in the Declaration ... Others, like Paul and Silas (in Acts 16:25), although physically imprisoned, sang hymns of joy and praise to God. The concept that freedom is physical is one of the great misunderstandings of our times. Paul instructs us, in Galatians 5:13: "For brethren we have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the ... God's second limitation on our freedom is that we must not be mastered by, or brought under, the power of the things we do. Jesus said that no man can serve two masters.
