SEVEN REASONS WHY ETERNAL SECURITY IS FALSE
It cheapens
Gods estimate of sin
It is not
taught in scripture
It renders all
exhortations to holiness to be irrelevant
It must
"explain away" the vast majority of scripture
It encourages sinful
living and false assurance
It results in
false conversions that weaken the true church
It is the most destructive and deceptive lie of Satan

KEY TO THE CHART
All references with an asterisk (*)
are in the Greek present tense. The present tense shows a
continuous action that is taking place at this very moment. When it concerns
belief, the present tense is always used whenever the conditions of final
salvation are stated. Since willful sin is unbelief, one cannot be believing and
sinning at the same time. The benefits and security of salvation only stay ours
as we continually put our full trust and lives into the hands of a Holy God.
The double asterisks (**) show an aorist
tense. An aorist tense indicates a momentary occurrence and not a drawn
out process. For example, if I "wash" my hands, this may take a
process, but it is to be completed quickly. I do not wash forever.
Sanctification may take a process to complete, but scripture makes it clear that
its completion is to be in our physical lifetime. There is no example within the
New Testament where sanctification or purity is in the future tense.
There is no hope of sanctification after death.
