Calvinism Made Me Doubt My Salvation
- Thread starter Regulus
- Start date
Sorry, but you need to start a new thread to address this issue. We are talking about the "P" of the TULIPwhat about babes in Christ.. should they question their salvation?
Re-posted to edit an error, "of the faith" should read "in the faith."
The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation. So as we examine our lives, to see if we are "in the faith" we will find our efforts to follow Christ on His paths of righteousness. But what if we do not? Then we should question our salvation, because as a person whose faith is protected by the power of God, our commitment to Christ as our Lord should be manifested as a core attribute. See 2 Corinthians 13:5.
One of the evidences of an indwelt Spirit is that our conscience convicts us when we stray for Christ.

Yes, and I am discussing your comment about the P in tulip.Sorry, but you need to start a new thread to address this issue. We are talking about the "P" of the TULIP
so once again, in your comment you made a statement that
Here is what you said
But what if we do not? Then we should question our salvation, because as a person whose faith is protected by the power of God, our commitment to Christ as our Lord should be manifested as a core attribute.
so I ask again, what about the babe in christ who may not show any evidence yet??
should they question their salvation??
second, this thread is about a person who was made to doubt his salvation. Not tulip let alone the P in tulip
3. Give yourself a pride check. Your pride wreaks the way you have spoken to me these past few days. God resists the proud.. He gives mercy to the humble. show some humility and not arrogance

The only person who is authorized in scripture to judge whether we are saved is ourselves. We are not to judge another man's servant!

again, what about a babe in Christ. should they question their salvation since they need fed milk, and not meat. and struggle still with some personal sins..The Saints perseverance is because of God's preservation.

A young Christian, who is a Christian, indeed, has salvation, but until the fruit of the Spirit works in and through him, experientially, he most likely will lack...ASSURANCE of salvation, but not actual salvation itself! I asked the OP, poster if he had any evidence of God working in his life? The poster spoke about what he himself had done, but the question to him was...What has God done in his life?again, what about a babe in Christ. should they question their salvation since they need fed milk, and not meat. and struggle still with some personal sins..
On, and on, posters addressing me and running from a sincere discussion of the doctrine. Note the T,U,L, and I of the TULIP are false doctrines.Spoken like a true calvinist!
I see no reason why this should not be discussed in a new thread.again, what about a babe in Christ. should they question their salvation since they need fed milk, and not meat. and struggle still with some personal sins..
