I recently repented before the Lord for expecting others to adhere to my view of salvation so quickly. It's because I realized that my own journey out of free grace was a gradual one.
First, I got curious what exactly I needed to do to make the rapture in case Jesus was coming soon. Some folks out there were saying that you need to live in repentance and holiness. After some bible study I agreed that this view had merit.
After this stage of belief I noticed that some out there were saying repentance and holiness were also required for salvation (Arminianism), or results from being born again (Calvinists). I then did a pretty serious bible study which led me gradually to disbelieve in free grace after I read the whole bible again with different assumptions.
Regarding your points on Greek word study for destroy, I gotta get back to you on that because I never did word studies on them. Thanks for pointing that out.
Regardless of us disagreeing, I've found that I've been able to press into more revelation from all these questions I get and points that you guys bring up which I feel the urge to respond to
It's been a great source of inspiration for my blog, so thank you all!
