Thanks for your thoughts. I do agree to an extent. I think that in most cases, that 'good work' will be made incomplete. I do not believe anyone can lost their salvation even willingly. I do agree with Calvinists, however, in that many who profess the name of Jesus and then walk away, may not have been saved to begin with. In either case, they don't lose their salvation, it is more a judgment on the heart. Hey Jason. Thanks for your thoughts. I do agree to an extent.

To be honest, the class made things worse because it presented the two views only without the middle ground like you spoke of in your post. You might check out the Calvary Chapel beliefs because they are similar to your post. That's where I'm thinking of going now that I found out my church is so staunch Calvinist. I do think that once someone is truly saved they cannot lose their salvation: For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 (New American Standard Bible) I'm not sure if you agree because you said it both ways in your post, but I would like to know more of your thoughts on the subject.

I don't really know any real arminians, but I have several friends that are staunch calvinists. I just cannot believe the God would choose for me to go to Heaven, and then choose someone else to go to hell. We all have a choice. Choice is all over Scripture. great post!
