If you deny Unconditional Grace and accept that the Bible really does have conditions, such as the 7 (or 10) conditions listed on this website, some Christians might tell you that’s wrong because it means you are trying to “earn” your salvation. Of course, as explained in the previous article, even trying to earn your salvation (which you cannot do) is not going to have any detrimental … read more

Perhaps you are a vehement proponent of the Calvinistic doctrine of Unconditional Grace. The idea that as long as one time in your life you said some words and meant it, that now you are saved and are going to heaven no matter what you do here on Earth.

Refraining from pride of one’s salvation is another condition of salvation. Romans 11:18-22 says: “18 do not be arrogant toward the branches.
