brent,

Your points are well taken, but your interpretation (or at least your lack of explanation as to exactly what you believe) is incorrect. Surely, there are cases where someone accepted Christ and then turned completely away and actually REJECT Jesus. I would argue that they never TRUELY believed in the first place, but I'll leave that to God. Where we differ (but you are welcome to explain yourself), is I believe that once someone TRUELY accepts Jesus as their personal savior, even if they (and they will) continue to sin here and there, they will never lose their salvation. Did David lose his salvation? God knows the heart. The actions may be wrong and sin, but "man looks on the outward appearance" -- "God looks on the heart."

You are giving the impression that sinning after salvation jeopardizes that salvation. That is just false. Do you ever tell a white lie to avoid conflict? Do you ever look at a woman with lust in your heart? Do you go to movies that you know Jesus would not sit beside you and watch? Do you ever lose your temper and say wrong words? If salvation is a tenuous as you propose, Jesus would be in Heaven alone.

If I am missing your views, please explain in detail what you think will actually lose one's salvation.

I remain,

SOROS
