The Basis of Assurance: His Promise, Not Our Perseverance
The believer’s security depends on Christ’s promise, not the believer’s ongoing consistency.
Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture or wondering how to be a better parent or grandparent…or just plain better, pull up a chair – let’s study God’s Word together, have some deep discussions and apply it to real life, one truth at a time.
The believer’s security depends on Christ’s promise, not the believer’s ongoing consistency.
The ad hominem fallacy—attacking a person’s background, pedigree, or character rather than addressing their actual argument—is as old as debate itself. In theological discussion, however, it does more than derail dialogue: it obscures the clarity of God’s Word. When theological traditions substitute personal dismissals for careful biblical exegesis, truth is eclipsed. The Scriptures call believers to test every teaching against God’s clear revelation, not against the credentials, perceived motives, or personal reputations of the messengers.
