Charles Stanley and Calvinism

Well I see that you did not bother to go to the link I provided. When they contacted In Touch and they did a search they could not find where Stanley had supported that view. There conclusion and one that seems to be logical is that it was an editing error on pg 127.

But you seem to want to jump to a view that is most likely from an error rather than look at his over all messages that stand in opposition to that view.

Why is that?

Do you have the actual book?
No, just taht He was wrong in this particular area, but was someone used by the Lord to impact many lives, and always respected him to not divorcing his wife when she decided to end their marriage, and kept their wedding ring on him until he died

This falls short of saying that people who have been slothful Christians will spend 1000 years in hell.
I don’t see the teaching there.
I don’t see that outer darkness has anything to do with believers. But if you believe that people are forced to do certain things and are determined to do certain things, what kind of discussion do you expect. You would not be able to believe (speaking of compatibility and not strictly ability) that God has given every man something (himself and all the things in this world that he temporarily has power and possession of) that he will give an account for. It really is quite simple. If we come God’s way, He offers salvation. But I don’t see how anything is accomplished either way if God ordained people to go to the lake of fire and ordained others to the so-called “Baptist Purgatory.” If people are forced to do either, then God is the creator of evil and wills it. If you would listen to the teachings of Jesus you would know that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus taught that he did not will or encourage wickedness.
Think that his view was that those who were not committed and faithful to the Lord while here would not be raised up and blessed in the Millennium reign of Christ, but would be resurrected at end to go off into the etrnal state then

It still doesn’t say that anywhere I have seen and not in that last quote from his book. I’m not trying to defend him necessarily. That is actually the reason I am here at all. I am not actually sure about Stanley myself. But I am not going to pile on so to speak just because I am not sure if I like him or not.
I need to know that he really believed something like that.
