GodsChild a Few Quick Questions?

[Rahul]

I'm tired of it also, and would enjoy more of this type of discussion, sorry to have disappointed you, what point were you going to make.

Well, the point I was going to get to was this.

Most Baptists believe in once saved, always saved. The surety of the believer. No falling from grace.

So when you have someone like me, who everyone who knew me when I was a teenager or in most of my 20's was convinced I was saved, later leaves the fold, they do this weird mental gymnastics to explain it.

They claim that I was never saved in the first place.

The problem is was that I was positive I was saved back then. So if I could have been fooled. How can any of them be sure? No one can tell what they're going to be like a decade from now. You can guess, but that's all it is. A guess.

You see I can't support free will without going all the way, just because one chose to follow Christ does not mean one can not change their mind and choose not to.

Except I didn't choose anything. I just came to a shocking realization. I can no longer believe in God anymore than I can in Zeus. You can't just decide to believe something. It's not a choice. It's definetely not something I decided to do.
