Opis

Scriven believes Charles Stanley to have brought out one aspect of the Eternal Security Debate in a clear, methodical, and convincing way. Thus, his text is the one Scriven has chosen to enter into dialogue with. Scriven say 'his text' because Scriven means to critically engage Stanley's argument for eternal security, not his person or his relationship with Christ. In this text, Scriven shakes the foundation of the traditional debate and argues that the Doctrine of Eternal Security is not valid as the exclusive biblical presentation of Christian Salvation.

Through all of the prior discussions of Eternal Security in the fifteen years since Stanley's book came off of the presses, no sustained dialogue exists between teachers of the bible on a mass public scale that has not fallen into mere debate, rebuttal, parting, or an occasional renunciation of one or the other position.

Instead of a search for the other's renunciation, reconciliation should be the goal of believers in any exchange--most of all, exchanges regarding the believer's security in salvation.
