About this sermon
“PERSEVERANCE or PRESERVATION? The uncertainty of Lordship Salvation. MATTHEW 24:13 Dr. Andy Woods. 7-20-25 *Accompanying slide number cited - Calvinism Critique: Calvinism is critiqued for imposing a philosophy on Scripture, relying heavily on Augustine and altering scriptural meanings to fit its doctrines rather than Scripture itself 1 2* - Perseverance Doctrine: The Calvinistic 'Perseverance of the Saints' emphasizes believer's faithfulness to the end, not God's keeping power, leading to uncertainty about ultimate salvation 3 4 - Biblical Examples: Scripture provides examples of Old and New Testament believers who did not persevere, challenging the Calvinistic perseverance definition 5 6 - Assurance of Salvation: Calvinism's doctrine undermines assurance of salvation, causing lifelong doubt about election, contrasting with biblical teaching that assurance is a privilege for all believers 7 8 - Faith and Salvation: Salvation is conditioned on faith alone, with belief defined as trust and reliance, not continual behavior; present tense in key verses does not mandate ongoing faithfulness 9 10 11
