Re: The Sinners Prayer: Does it Save You?
Well, as always, we didn't change each other's minds with any of this. :)
But I always enjoy the extra study!
I just can't help but believe it's all of grace and none of me. That's been revealed to me and I cannot turn back from it. I know, like James White, the only difference in me and someone else that isn't saved, is grace.
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am...
I've said many times I wish all people were saved, but I see the reality biblically and what I see out in the world, that not everyone is, and I must acccept that.
God does as he pleases with the inhabitants of the earth and how can I question him on that? (Daniel 4:35)
I believe the bible makes it clear that election was not based on anything God saw through the corridors of time that we would do good (believe, or anything else) for if it was, it would not be by grace alone.
I truly do think grace is amazing!
