I'm a believer of once saved always saved. Do you agree with that?
>> I don't.
[music]
>> All right. No, sir.
>> Would you mind having a discussion on proof text for that?
>> Yeah.
>> I thank my God and all my remembrance of you always and every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
>> He says your fellowship in the gospel.
[music]
So even that word fellowship if we look at that Greek word the share which one has in anything and
[music]
then it says participation. So your participation in the gospel that even gets into what free will someone who actually believed or someone who actually obeyed the gospel as we keep our trust in
[music]
him God is able to complete what he started in us. There's the will of God that's going to happen no matter what. And then there's the will of God like promises
[music]
like we just talked about that are like an if and then a result statement. For instance,
[music]
honor your father and mother that it may go well with you. That's a promise of God and that's God's will. But if people don't honor their father and mother, it's not going to go
[music]
well with them. Then there's like the will of God that there's no ifs about it. So for instance, Jesus
[music]
is returning.
>> Okay?
>> Doesn't matter what people do, he's coming back. I would say this is the if then versus
[music]
the absolute of you put your trust in Jesus and
[music]
then automatically there's no possible way that you can ever fall away. I would say with your participation in
[music]
the gospel, God is able like he's faithful. When you continue to trust him, he's faithful and he is going to complete.
[music]
He's going to be able to keep you, protect you, all those things.
>> I picked a poor uh text then I need to better prepare myself in that. Man, I really appreciate your humility and your respect
[music]
and the way that we're having this conversation. It's admirable and I praise God for it.
