Although I was raised in church, I WAS NOT raised under the teaching of eternal security. Far from it. My Grandfather preached the Gospel for nearly 60 years and, in fact, preached very hard AGAINST such doctrine. Under my Grandfathers preaching, I was born again in 1990. All was well for several weeks. I was full of joy and faith in the Lord. I finally had a "peace that passes all understanding". It didn't take long, however, for the enemy to attack. First, He attacked the validity of my salvation. "How do you know you're saved? Can you be sure? What if you're not?" I was hounded, day and night, by these questions. Soon, you guessed it, my joy was gone. Sadly, I slipped back into sinful habits. But, this time it was different. I found myself committing these old sins again, but not to the enjoyment I previously had. I actually hated them! I was miserable. Under the doctrine I was raised in, I now was "lost" again, and needed to be "re-saved". But, somehow, that made no sense at all. How could I, or anyone, be "un-born" after they were "born again"? I WAS SO CONFUSED!!! While at a Christian bookstore one day, I saw Dr. Stanley's book. I flipped through the pages. Could this "eternal security" be true? Well, I decided to spend the money and buy the book. It's teachings were totally the opposite of all the doctrine I had been taught all my life, but I saw myself on every page. Wanting to do good, but falling short. (Paul had this same problem in Romans 7.) The book in no way condones sin, but it does condone the Grace of God that is greater than any sin. To make a long story short, besides the Bible, Dr. Stanley's book "Eternal Security" has helped me more than any! Thank you Dr. Stanley for teaching the Truth, knowing it wouldn't be accepted by many.
I have read this book three times throughout the course of 23 years. I was brought up in the Baptist denomination where I was literally indoctrinated in the belief of once saved always saved. I never once questioned this teaching until I was exposed to many different religious beliefs at my office. Many respected people did not share my belief. Charles Stanley's book was a lifeline for me. I can now have assurance after reviewing the scripture that my salvation is secure. This book is literally not an easy book to read & understand. I know that Mr. Stanley comes from from a holiness background that did not believe in eternal security & he had been quite adept in pleading his case until the time that the Holy Spirit began to convict him otherwise. He literally knows how the other half think & can make his argument using scripture commonly used to disprove eternal security by explaining the error of their theology.Salvation is a fee gift given to those who accept this gift through faith. There are no strings attached. There are no sins that will make you ineligible to receive this gift. Likewise there is no list of sins which will diqualify you once you have received this free gift. God loves you unconditionally & sent His son to die for you at Calvary. Jesus paid your sin debt in full. Both heaven & hell will be full of sinners who have done terrible things. The only difference will be based on belief. Sin does not send you to hell, but rather your unbelief. He offers you savation not just as a means of providing you with fire insurance, but for fellowship. He wants to adopt you forever. Once you have been saved, you will be given an invisible seal (to protect your soul) which has a lifetime warranty & cannot be removed. He wants to make you holy & pure-set apart for service.
