That is very unbiblical and is a refutation of salvation by grace, making it dependent on behavior.Ron Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685550197231995860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130385652843452496.post-66950486884159230852012-01-03T13:26:56.744-07:002012-01-03T13:26:56.744-07:00Glenn: I agree with you.

The trick is in really being able to know if someone came to know Christ before they died, especially when we don't really know the individual - only an alleged behavior - as in the case I wrote about.Ron Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685550197231995860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130385652843452496.post-13698538023614998462012-01-03T13:24:59.441-07:002012-01-03T13:24:59.441-07:00Ralph: I agree.

It is absolutely biblical to withdraw fellowship from a professed believer who is demonstrating ungodliness in his life.Ron Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685550197231995860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130385652843452496.post-71455793277964336602012-01-03T08:51:25.292-07:002012-01-03T08:51:25.292-07:00I think we can safely say whether someone is hell-...I think we can safely say whether someone is hell-bound if we know they were an unbeliever at the time of their death; that is a scripture observation.<br /><br />HOWEVER, if one is a believer, there is NO sin which will condemn them to hell. I have had many people tell me that if one commits suicide they cannot be forgiven. But here is the point: What sins has Christ forgiven? Has He only forgiven our past sins or has He not also forgiven our current sins? Is murder an unforgivable sin? Of course not - so why would self-murder be unforgivable?<br /><br />I'd have the same type string of questions for any other sin. The bottom line is that, biblically speaking, a believer is saved eternally and an unbeliever is condemned eternally. And that is the only judgement we can make.Glenn E.

His behavior is unbecoming a Christian and, therefore, creates a conundrum for those of us who know him, to assess the legitimacy of his own salvation. <br /><br />But, like you have already reminded us, ours is not to judge. Nevertheless, on the basis of his behavior, we are right to disassociate with him in hopes that he will repent.hymns that preachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456829104120421972noreply@blogger.com
