How would you respond to this argument for Eternal Security-that NO ONE, including that person-can snatch us (even himself) out of His hand? [John 10:27-28, Romans 8:31-39, Matthew 24:10, Hebrew3:12, Hebrews 2:3, 1 Peter 1:5].
Caller disagrees with Steve about free will positing that God and man cannot both have free will. [1 Peter 1:5, Romans 8:16-19, Matthew 10:33, Ephesians 2:8, 1 Peter 2:17, 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Peter 2:22, Galatians 5:22-23, Luke 8:13].
Are we kept by God's power ony as long as we choose to stay (with reference to the prodigal son and the scripture about His losing none)? [John 17:12-20, I Peter 1:5, Romans 5:2, Ephesians 2:8-9].
Can you return to Jesus if you have fallen away based on Hebrews 6? [Hebrews 6:4, Luke 19:27, Matthew 19:26, James 5:19, Romans 11:22, John 15:6, Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:4-15, I Peter 1:5, Hebrews 3:1, Hebrews 3:12].
Concerning "eternal security" - do these verses in I Peter 1:3-5 indicate that it is God who keeps us in Him, rather than us and our faith doing it? Is the inheritance now or in the future? [I Peter 1:3-5, 2 Peter 1:10, Romans 5:2, 11:16,22, Ephesians 2:8-9, I Timothy 4:1, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Matthew 25:31, Luke 8].
What do you think of the possibility that we can lose our salvation, because scripture indicates that the Lord can dump us out of His hand? [John 17-18:9, Revelation 3:16, Isaiah 53, Matthew 24:10, I Peter 1:5].
Calvinism & Arminianism, doesn't that famous passage in Ephesians & a verse in 1 Peter just by themselves prove Irresistible Grace & Calvinism? [Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Peter 1:5]
Caller thinks that "Calvinism" applies to the apostles, that they were predestined, given irresistible grace, & so on, but we the people of the church, it IS by Faith. What does Steve think of the idea? [Ephesians 1:13, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 2 Peter 1:4, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3]
