I've often said that the possibility of losing one's salvation is the most-taught doctrine in the New Testament. I cover a large sample of them [here]. And yet, I find that almost every Evangelical I've met believes the opposite.
The doctrine of "Once-Saved-Always-Saved" is supported by a few verses. I covered two of them [here]. Today I want to look at another: John 6:37
These are some notes I'm taking in preparation for a chat I'm going to have with some LDS Missionaries.
In a previous entry I introduced the concept of an new version of Sola Scriptura. It is designed to give the same practical result as the original while being more intellectually defensible. I call it "Sola Scriptura Minor".
This version doesn't make the explicit claims that every Christian doctrine (or practice) is contained within the Bible and that any proposed teaching (or practice) must be proved from within its pages. Thus, it doesn't fall victim to the obvious self-refutation problem which plagues Sola Scriptura Major.
