The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Saved and NOT know it ???

straw,

So, help me out here..... what's your problem?

ALL who participated in that thread and the views of C.S. Lewis on this subject of the possibility of non-believers ultimately being saved are waaaaaaaay off the mark; their views are totally false. There is no speculation to be seen in Scripture on who is going to be received by God at the Judgment. It is crystal clear that only those who God has predestined to salvation in Christ will be saved. And those, during their lifetime will be irresistibly drawn to Christ by the Holy Spirit, Who having regenerated them, will infallibly repent of their sins (true evangelical repentance) and believe on Christ with a living faith. All of the elect will progress in sanctification, putting off the old man and putting on the new man. (Rom 8:29, 30; Eph. 1:4-13; et al)

There is no such foolishness as a "second chance salvation", despite what Billy Graham and others think. For as it is written:


Re: Romans 2:12-16, the "interpretation" given by "Seal_of_Servants" is so far from what Paul is actually teaching in that particular passage it makes my head spin! What that passage is saying is that whether or not one is without the law (Gentiles) or has the law (Jews) both will be judged (condemned) because BOTH transgress the law; either the law written on the hearts (Gentiles) or the written law [Moses] (Jews). [cf. Rom 3:9ff]

In His grace,
