2 Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. We should discuss each and every one of your proof texts, plusproof text which can be interpreted the opposite...

Calvinism takes faith out of the equation. Eternal security takes faith out at the moment one accepts Christ. Arminianism taches that one is saved by grace through continuous faith (the present participle in Romans 4:5) and believers have the assurance of salvation because they maintain that...

Eternal security theology does NOT teach that once-eternally-saved believers MUST continue hearing God's Word and MUST continue following Christ. It teaches that they can deny Christ and not continue serving Him and still be saved. It removes free will and denies believers the choice of removing...

"But nothing in those verses says that those in either group could not change their mind regarding who Christ was. The sheep could stop believing and the lost could become sheep through faith." That is precisely what I believe, but it is not mainstream Baptist Eternal Security theology. You...

I feel betrayed by the very theology I once fanatically loved. Present participles are on every page of the New Testament but are covered up and treated like past-tense one-time professions of faith.

The following are 15 of the 55 “believe” participles. When “believe” is fully translated, only those who “continuously” believe --- will become “sons of God” (Jn 1:12), will “have everlasting life” (Jn 3:15, 16, 36; 5:24), will “not be condemned” (Jn 3:18), will be saved by the will of...

As long they His sheep keep on hearing His voice and keep on following Him, He keeps on knowing them and giving them eternal life. Those sheep are safe in His hand. Why are you avoiding the present tense participles?

Explain Matthew 5:29-30. Christ is not speaking to the lost because they were destined to hell whether or not they plucked they eye out or cut their arm off. He is telling those who have been saved that, if they continue in habitual sin, they will go to hell. Plucking one's eye out or cutting...

Except for your last two statements, you sound like an Arminian. Which texts teach that removes free will and "protects" faith? The doctrtine teaches that one can deny Christ, never worship Him again and remain saved. I taught it for almost 60 years. You keep calling the presnet participles...

The Reformed view replaces free will with predestination. The Eternal Security view replaces free will after one is uncondtionally saved. Both are wrong. Why won't you explain the present participle in John 3:16. I clearly teaches that continuous believing is required for salvation.

I am 80 and have been an ES Baptist for most of those years until 4 years ago. I discovered God's inspired present participles behind "believe" in John 3:16 and almost all doctrinal texts. This forced me to change my understanding of God's plan of salvation. ES Baptists ignore "continuous...

By fully translating the verbs in John 10:27, it literally reads: "My sheep are continuously hearing my voice and I am continuously knowing them and they are continuously following me and I am continuously giving them eternal life." These are all present tense verbs; they are not aorist...

If you cannot literally interpret Hebrews 6:4-6, then why read the aBible?

Thus far, y'all have not commented on my main argument that the present participles of believe are being ignored. This is the same mistake I made. In First John 5:13 only those who continuously believe have the assurance of salvation. In First John 5:1 only those who continuously bellieve are...

Please give me your texts. Those who come to Jesus in John 17:20 are "continuously" coming per the present participle of come. It is the will of the Father to give to Jesus those who continuously come to Him per John 6:40.

I believe that only continuous believers will have eternal life as the present participle in John 3:16 teaches; only continuous believers will become sons of God as John 1:12 teaches; only continuous believers will not be condemned as John 3:18 teaches, only continuous believers will be saved by...

You ignore the verb tenses of John 10:27. "My sheep are continually hearing my voice and I am continuously hearing them and they are continuously following me and I am continuously giving them eternal life." As long as Christ's sheep continuously listen to Him and continuously follow Him, He...

I am 80 and have been a fanatical eternal security teaching Baptist until 4 years ago and am now a Free Will Baptist. The reason I changed was that ES Baptists totally ignore God's inspired Greek present participles behind "eth" and "es" verbs like "believe," "abide" and "overcome." It is wrong...

ISAIAH 66: By teaching that Isaiah 66:23 proves that the weekly Sabbath will be kept throughout eternity, Seventh-day Adventists err by not teaching the same about the new moon Sabbaths. They ignore the context of Isaiah 66. 66:1-3 destroys the SDA doctrine that God lives in a literal temple...
