This coming Sunday night at Tabernacle Baptist church we have hosting our first "Great Debate." This evening is designed to study God's Word through hearing different perspectives on a theological subject. Sunday's debate will center around the topic of Eternal Security (or "once saved, always saved").
There are many Christians who believe that once a person becomes a follower of Jesus Christ they can never lose their salvation. This does not necessarily mean that one can "live however they want" and still be a Christian. Rather, a genuine Christian experiences spiritual transformation and though they will sin, they are kept secure as they are brought into conformity to Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, there are other Christians who believe that it is possible for a genuine Christian to fall away and forsake their salvation. Just as an individual can choose to become a believer, they can also choose to forsake their Christianity, therefore forfeiting their salvation.
We are thankful to have two speakers who will present both sides of this issue. It is my prayer that we will be challenged to think biblically and that the Lord will solidify what we believe in the teachings of His Word.
So make your plans to come out Sunday night. It will be fun, challenging, and thought-provoking as we seek to understand God's Word together.
Pastor Wes
