“Peace, Peace!”

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I am very glad that you teach that you can lose your salvation.  However for those churches that teach eternal security could they be considered false prophets?

Sincerely,
True Or False?

Dear True Or False,

Yes, they would be considered false teachers.  It is no different than the false prophets of the Old Testament that cried, "Peace, peace" when the people should have been concerned about danger (Jer 6:13-14).  Those who teach eternal security are telling people they need not be concerned about their salvation or drifting away, but God tells us that we need to live deliberately so that we don't become disqualified (1 Cor 9:27).
