I wonder why someone would hesitate to believe that the wrath stored up for the unregenerate would not be eternal. I see that your friend cited "Revelation," but was there a compelling argument with chapter and verse?
John Stott was a really neat Christian and highly respected, but he believed in annihilation for the wicked. I believe Stott was mistaken about that. - 2:30 PM

This fellow thinks Calvin was a heretic and augustine as well. he says there is no 2nd death.
I'm going to take his teachings to my pastors, and let them look it over.

He was weak in this one doctrine, and yet preached the Gospel with great love and fear.
