01/14/18 Y'ALL BE CAREFUL WHAT AND WHO YOU READ FROM. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THERE MINDS HAVE BEEN
I read a post on the church page of a fellow ministry yesterday (another one in September), which was written by a person who appears (from what he said in his post and the information on his own TIMELINE), to actually believe in Reformed Theology, including the erroneous ideas that sin does not separate people from God, and that God will kill a sinning Christian and take him to heaven, and that God unilaterally and unconditionally chooses who will be saved through the supposed doctrine of "sovereign election."
I did not comment or post on that page, since I did not want to appear to use that as a forum for my own purposes. I do have concerns, because a lot of people read those thoughts and someone might be drawn into false doctrine, and also, I do not want to appear to be in agreement, through my silence.
However, I did send the individual the following MESSAGE on FB. I have not received a response yet. When I do, I hope to share it here. By the way, if anyone asks these questions of me in a message, I will be quick, concise and clear in my answer.
MESSAGE SENT...
I read two of your posts on the _ _ _ Church Page. I just want to be clear in my understanding.
Do you believe that Jesus died for all men or do you believe in sovereign election?
Do you believe that a person who has been saved can go back into sin and fall away from grace finally or do you believe in Once Saved Always Saved (eternal security or perseverance of the saints)?
Do you believe that a saved person will live without sinning or do you believe that a saved person is going to sin?
Do you believe that a saved person can be delivered from the sinful nature in this life, through the purifying work of the Holy Spirit, or do you believe that the Christian will have a double mind, be carnal, will struggle with the sinful nature throughout this lifetime?
Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to your clear and concise answers.
