| Feb 13 at 21:59 | comment | added | Mike Borden | I have heard teaching from an OSAS Baptist pulpit that lack of suffering was reason to question whether one's salvation was real (also disagree). I think carnal success is tied more to Natural Law than a sign of salvation. The question "Why do the wicked prosper?" assumes that they do. | |

Clarify "searching for signs", add link to the Puritans
|
| Feb 13 at 21:37 | comment | added | GratefulDisciple | @MikeBorden Are all who hold the OSAS stance like you? I was thinking of the Puritans. The signs is to verify whether you're one of the elect, not strictly to come to faith (i.e. conversion). Isn't it behind Max Weber's Protestant work ethic which links Protestants doing better economically partly to assure themselves that they are members of the elect (i.e. predestination, see here)? | |
| Feb 13 at 21:29 | comment | added | Mike Borden | I'm not trying to nit-pick but I believe OSAS and am not preoccupied with searching my heart for signs to confirm anything. It happened on 06/12/2002 at around 7:00 AM...I went from death unto life. | |

clarifies when eternal life starts for the Calvinist and why
|
| Feb 13 at 18:54 | comment | added | Mike Borden | I am not a Calvinist but I do believe eternal life starts at the new birth and is promised to never be lost unto condemnation. | |
| Jun 17, 2023 at 23:07 | comment | added | Isaac Middlemiss | Saying "We can sin mortally" is a bit of a broad stroke; those more Arminian-leaning would say it's not that there's an unknown list of sins and if you commit one of those, you're out, rather you have to deliberately reject God/your faith. It's not that you've sinned so bad God can't forgive you, it's that you no longer want to be forgiven | |
