Episode notes
Eternal Security's Appeal
- Eternal security is comforting, but its appeal doesn't prove its truth.
- It may create a dangerous complacency towards sin.
Steve Lawson's Hypocrisy
- Steve Lawson, a proponent of eternal security, had a long-term adulterous affair.
- This contradicts his claim that the doctrine promotes outward action.
Misinterpreting Scripture
- Proponents cite Romans 8:38-39, but it only addresses external threats, not self-separation.
- 1 John 2:19 is misused; it refers to those whose beliefs were never orthodox.
