Common disputes about grace salvation that believers have if they fail to rightly divide
The following is a reply to clarify the common disputes that believers have if they fail to rightly divide the scriptures. This is a classic argument of a person that mixes, or blends, all the conditions of both the Kingdom and the Grace gospels into one, confusing the matter and creating contradictions concerning salvation. Some of the objections they raise concerning my article are as follows:
- The road to salvation has ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME .
- We must OBEY Christ’s commands since He came.
- Those who repent will be saved. Those who do not repent will perish.
- The idea of being saved merely by belief in God is refuted by James.
- Hebrews, and elsewhere, warns of falling away.
- You HAVE TO BEAR FRUIT, You HAVE TO STAY CLOSE to God/on the vine. Or you will not be saved.
- Revelation 3 warns that "Those who endure to the end will be saved."
- Once saved, always saved is a heresy.
- Not everyone who says ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father.
I encourage you to read the article in full to remain sharp on what arguments and disputes people raise when they do not rightly divide and become familiar with how one can inform these people with contextually correct answers.
