We are without hope, unless we are in Christ.<br /><br />There are those before the incarnation who were in Christ, because of their faith, like Abraham, David, Lot, Moses, Gideon, and many more, even thousands who are not named in the Bible.<br />Their faith was accounted to them for righteousness. Romans 4.<br />Same for us who are after Christ.<br /><br />There is a doctrine, Inclusivism, that must be very similar to Tony Evans.<br /><br />here's a deabte of James White and John Sanders on this issue.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzb0JVKeen8&feature=relateddonsandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794015011057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13360294.post-44073065308199417672010-10-20T11:21:34.863-07:002010-10-20T11:21:34.863-07:00Some say that there will be eternal separation fro...Some say that there will be eternal separation from God for those who reject Christ, and that is true, but I prefer to say that there will be eternal separation for all those who are not in Christ. The reason is because some have postulated that if a person is not capable of rejecting Christ, they will therefore not be subject to eternal condemnation.<br /><br />If we follow this to its logical conclusion <i>(reductio ad absurdum)</i>, we bring condemnation to people by preaching the gospel. That contradicts Jesus' words in Jn. 3:17.<br /><br />Tony Evans also taught something like this in the appendix of his book, <i>Totally Saved</i>. That is how he offered comfort for those who struggle with the question, "What about those who have never heard?"<br /><br />Let God's words be true and every man a liar. That may sound harsh, but I do not want to believe any man over God, no matter how plausible or comforting the man's argument.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.com
