(EMAIL) Thanks for sounding the alarm against eternal security. I’ve written to you before ... I just recalled something regarding eternal security I felt compelled to share.
A few years ago, when I was still a proponent of eternal security, I was speaking with a deacon in a Baptist church and we were discussing folks who were martyred for Christ. Keeping in mind, Jesus said, if you disown me before men I will disown you before my Father in heaven. This DEACON looked me right in the eye and said, “Well if you were facing death, you could lie and deny him to the killer but remain faithful in your heart so he wouldn’t kill you.”
I’m still shocked as I recount the story of a few years ago. This is precisely the type of attitude eternal security fosters! What a sick, repulsive, and cavalier attitude toward God and this from a deacon of a church!!! At any rate, not sure why, I just felt compelled to share that story. Keep contending for the truth.
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
... It is disgusting to ponder what is taught by eternal security teachers and their subjects. In fact, every argument they present is indirectly aimed to convince Christians that they can stray into wicked, vile, ungodly, fruitless, hateful, lustful, murderous, etc. behavior and retain their salvation. While they teach this they also maintain their doctrine is not a license for immorality! (They have a double message.) It is a sad and dark day that such is even tolerated, much less considered grace and/or the gospel.
May God bless you. 1 Tim. 4:16.

He left some over the urinal. Not exactly a great place to advertise the King of the Universe ... or eternal servation.
Dude ... you got issues.

Rather than comment on where you located literature from our ministry, why not compare it to the Bible to see if it is accurate. In a nut shell you must get “born again” by turning away from sins (repentance) and placing 100% of your faith in JESUS. You must have a submissive and obedient faith to get saved and you must endure to the end to enter God’s Kingdom (Mt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11).

(EMAIL) I was wondering what denomination has the truth that you speak of on your web site so I may become apart of the true church.
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
If you would carefully study through the New Testament, you’ll notice that NO DENOMINATION or CHURCH GROUP is the so-called “true church.” To become a real Christian is to be part of the “Church” and one doesn’t have to join any denomination to do that.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name.
Comfort is also spreading the damnable heresy of eternal security and Calvinism. He has poison mixed in with truth. Have you heard our analysis of his true or false conversion teaching? http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/falseconversion.htm
GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I am a Bible teacher that has been studying this for quite some time and I have yet to settle it in my heart. I have had this discussion over and over with different Christians. I have been raised believing “once saved always saved”. I have found in many cases that the people that enjoy debating this issue are merely doing just that. Debating this issue with other Christians while neglecting ministry of any other kind such as reaching the lost. It is quickly becoming an argument that I see Satan possibly using to distract us from the lost around us that are dying and going to hell without the Gospel of Christ. I will continue to study your site and pray to come to a conclusion.
I have a quick question though. If sexual immorality for instance is a sin that can leave us in danger of losing our salvation, how will we ever be sure that we have confessed every single lustful thought? A lustful thought then a sudden accident could condemn us? Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 “But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her in his heart”
I don’t see “once saved always saved” as a license to sin. On the contrary, I am so appreciative to Christ for His sacrifice that I would never use it as a license to sin. What a tragedy that someone would do that. What a perversion. I can’t even comprehend it!
It seems there is animosity toward those of us as a whole who have been taught “once saved always saved” and I really don’t understand that. Almost every person that I’ve talked with that holds to the belief “once saved always saved” is false has been caustic, hateful and arrogant when they find out I believe what I believe.
I firmly believe there are people on both sides of this argument that are truly born again. A dear friend of mine doesn’t believe in eternal security yet I feel sure he is truly born again. Even he can be hateful about the subject when I ask simple questions because I’m not sure. The accusations and animosity are almost enough to turn people away that are truly seeking the truth and that is very unfortunate. I’m looking for answers and always searching for the truth. I am not a scholar and I’m not an apologist. I’m not trying to pick a fight or offend just searching. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

We refute eternal security because as Christians we are commanded to (Jude 3,4) and also because many are going to hell believing in this heresy and need the truth. It is a license for immorality, being a destroyer of the fear of God, etc. It has led to broken homes through adultery, suicides and criminal acts.
If lust is a problem for you, stop watching TV which is a lust generator and saturate your mind with Scripture by memorizing verses and acting on its truths.
It is SHOCKING that anyone can read the Bible and believe in eternal security. Perhaps some of the people you ran into are both shocked and disturbed by the spiritual poison that is spread through eternal security. As for us—we will fight the damnable lie and heresy of eternal security until our last breath. PLEASE PLEASE read the New Testament and change accordingly. Remember 1 John 2:3,4.
GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) We have just found your website and as a Family we would like to thank you for the instruction we have found. We were being invited to attend \”shabbat\” meetings with some messianic jews, and all the time we found a lot of inconsistencies, but your site gave us tools to retort. Anyway, we are now free again.
God Bless you and your ministry.
(RESPONSE) Greetings in JESUS’ name.
THANK YOU for the kind words. It is WONDERFUL to read that you have found answers and help from our materials. It is vital to stick to the Bible like glue. We are living in a day of great religious deception. We must proceed carefully and humbly.
If you never received a free ministry packet and want one, please send us your address.
GOD BLESS YOU.
