Once a person has been saved from this world, can he or she lose their salvation? Or, to put it another way, is salvation a “once and done” operation, or is it conditioned upon an abiding obedient relationship with Christ? When a person receives Christ, does he receive pre-forgiveness for every sin he may commit in the future—or does he receive forgiveness for past sins? Bercot explains what the early Christians believed about those questions.

Once a person has been saved from this world, can he or she lose their salvation? Or, to put it another way, is salvation a “once and done” operation, or is it conditioned upon an abiding obedient relationship with Christ? When a person receives Christ, does he receive pre-forgiveness for every sin he may commit in the future—or does he receive forgiveness for past sins? Bercot explains what the early Christians believed about those questions.
It’s easy to pull proof-texts from the New Testament to supply a variety of answers to those questions. But what do we discover about a believer’s security when we look at every verse of the New Testament? The early Christians did that very thing. They looked at every New Testament passage, and they had a uniform understanding of what the New Testament teaches about eternal security. All believers owe it to themselves to know what the original, historic teaching of the church was on this vital subject.

“The security of the believer” is a wonderful truth taught in Scripture, but is it conditional or unconditional? What was the answer when Peter, James, Paul, or any other apostle was asked? This CD surprised me in 2 ways: 1st, the unusual approach taken to smoothly introduce the subject, and 2nd, the clarity of God’s Word on the subject when seen through the pre-Nicene believers’ eyes. For the Berean, the ambivalence is gone, the answer is clear, and debate is useless.
