    • There is also Way of Life Literature: http://wayoflife.org David Cloud’s site has many free books and articles, and even videos and powerpoints on defending the King James Bible.
    • No one has said or indicated this on these boards - as I stated before, being backslidden (or even struggling at times, etc.) is not the same thing as rejecting the Lord/the truth and becoming apostate. A true believer will NEVER do that - God would stop them from ever getting to that point, even if it means taking them home first. AND someone who utterly rejects the Lord and His salvation, etc. was NEVER saved or a true believer to begin with, despite how they might have appeared for a time.
    • Jesus keeps His own - it’s not a matter of us enduring to the end (that’s referring to physical deliverance, not spiritual), but of Jesus preserving those He has saved. If we wander, He chastizes us - and the final step of chastizing us is to take us home to be with Him. I don’t believe in Lordship salvation in the sense of us cleaning our lives up before we trust Jesus and are given the indwelling Holy Spirit (we have no power to overcome sin before we are saved) - we don’t MAKE Jesus Lord of our lives - but we do need to believe His is Lord and that He has the right to tell us what to do day by day in our lives - He does that through His Word, which becomes (or should become) our guide when we become God’s children. I do believe that we need to realize He IS Lord to some extent when we come to Him for salvation. He is the Lord God, the Lord Jesus Christ. God’s main name in the Bible is LORD/Lord (Jehovah/Adonai respectively - Kurios in the NT). I did not clean up my life before trusting in the “Lord” Jesus Christ for salvation, but I repented of my sin and turned to the Saviour - I stopped going my own way in life (overall) and chose to go His way, looking to His Word from that time onwards to learn what that way was - and as I walk with Him, we work on my life together, according to His will. See verses below. (For the record, if at any time in my spiritual walk with Jesus/God, I stop going His way or buck and kick, that’s called backsliding - and according to Hebrews 12 and other passages, God won’t let His children go on in disobedience without chastizing and consequences). Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you (that’s working together), and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Song of Songs 2:15 Take us (that’s together with the Lord) the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
    • The problem I see with Lordship salvation, is it tries to make Jesus Lord over every area of life.. number one.. right at the time of salvation. So if someone genuinely believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life, if the are having trouble with sin..there is a high chance the Lordship person will attack, rather than comfort this person and question their salvation.  It's 'back loading' works into salvation.  Saying a saved person IS going to be faithful all their life. Like a saved person WILL act a certain way..do these things..etc.. when in actual fact..their faithfulness will wax and wain. They may not end up a good Christian. Doesn't mean 'never saved to begin with '. It's taking 'he who endureth to the end will be saved' right out of context.
    • Thank you for this. These are very helpful. I'm still not set on kjvo, but do understand the corruption in many modern bibles
