			<link>http://thechristiancafe.yuku.com/topic/1184/t/Eternal-Security-and-Matt-24-24.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I am currently teaching a Wednesday night session on Church History for my church, and we have arrived at the Calvinism/Arminianism debate (with which the PFRS
site and this forum have been exceptionally helpful).
<br>
<br>
Tonight&#39;s topic was Perseverance of the Saints, and we got through about half of the material, so I hope to get more in depth with the Arminian viewpoint
next week.  (It&#39;s an OSAS crowd.)  One of the Scripture sections we covered tonight was Matt. 24:9-13.  An... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Guys,<br> <br>   I have attended a church for a few weeks, it is Baptist and they seem to really care about seeing people come to the Lord. The problem is that the teach OSAS and I am torn as to whether to continue here or not. I like the people, they seem to care for the things of the Lord but they have this teaching that I think is wrong. Can I  have some opinions on what you think. I guess what I mean is what is Biblical? <br><br>Butch ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi all,<br><br>I completely agree with the PFRS position that salvation can be lost by coming to a position of unbelief.  However, I have a question about some other scriptures that seem to say that there are other reasons besides unbelief that lead to loss of salvation.<br>Such a verse is Rev:18-19. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>&quot;For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thechristiancafe.yuku.com/topic/669/t/Apostasy-and-the-believer-s-response.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I have a question. If salvation can be lost, how does the person know and how does the church know. Is it that they go to a false gospel or become hateful towards the church. How should believers handle that type of situation?For instance, in my men's group, there are a couple of guys that struggle with pornagraphy addiction. One guy was formerly homosexual, but hasn't broken free of those desires after being saved 5 or 6 years ago.  He says he uses porn on a nightly basis as a way to not... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I wanted to start this thread after having been reading another thread on a different forum. I wasn't sure where to put this thread, but as far as I'm concerned, if someone is teaching that people are going to heaven when the Bible says they are not, then it is some form of eternal security, even if limited or in some cases unlimited in scope.<br><br>So what is God's Big Picture Plan? Is it to reconcile all men to Himself through Jesus? If through one man all were made dead, then wouldn't all... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thechristiancafe.yuku.com/topic/682/t/Primative-Baptists-and-OSAS.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi all,<br><br>  I have a friend who is a PB and it seems the way they get around the verses that speak of losing your salvation or of falling away is to claim that they all refer to a temporal salvation. They use the standard Calvanistic verses to say they are elect Eph 1:3-12, Romans 8:29-30 and 2 Tim 1:9. They say that this (the Calvanistic verses) all took place before the foundation of the world and that it was done completely by God and therefore no one can change it because it was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've noticed that in discussin OSAS/Eternal Security 1 John 2:19 is consistantly quoted by those who support OSAS.  I've come to not feel very comfortable with my usual counter-argument, which is something like &quot;John was talking about a specific group of people, not all who depart from Christ in general&quot;, since the preceding verse makes antichrists the subject of vs.19.  However, today I was taking a closer look and noticed that John also says that anyone who denies Christ is... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ok, in a discussion concerning OSAS someone has brought up Romans 9, specifically vs16 as indisputable proof in favor of Calvinism.  I am fairly certain that this is not the case, but am having some trouble figuring out what the back of my brain is trying tell me (if you know what I mean :) ).
