I am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.
ALAN CHAMBERSI am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.
ALAN CHAMBERSCertainly anyone who comes to faith in Christ has a new heart and they have an opportunity for new life and that’s a wonderful thing.
ALAN CHAMBERSThrough biblical community in their local church, through honesty and transparency, sharing what it is that troubles them, being accountable.
ALAN CHAMBERSSo to pick and choose that once you come to Christ you’re never going to struggle in those areas again or never fall prey to stumbling in those ways again, I just, I don’t think we can assure that.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.
ALAN CHAMBERSI know Christ. And that is secure. And I think that is something that actually helps believers pursue his holiness.
ALAN CHAMBERSWell, I find it interesting first that this all centers around the issue of homosexuality and we don’t bring in any other sin issue into the picture.
ALAN CHAMBERSLet me be clear that I’m not God so I can’t tell you who is and isn’t going to heaven.
ALAN CHAMBERSI believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified.
ALAN CHAMBERSIf we were talking about one of their sin issues we wouldn’t have addressed this at all. I find that hypocritical and inconsistent.
ALAN CHAMBERSWho need to be discipled and to pursue Christ in their life.
ALAN CHAMBERSNow on to reparative therapy, I think counseling is a wonderful tool for anybody regardless of what struggle they bring to the table.
ALAN CHAMBERSIt’s about pursuing a relationship with Christ.
ALAN CHAMBERSWhen they don’t have to live in that fear or that life of condemnation wondering whether God’s going to yank His relationship from them
ALAN CHAMBERSI think, again, if someone wants to know what I believe then look at my life.
ALAN CHAMBERSThis is the church’s job. This is who we are as the body of Christ to reach out to people who are in need, who are struggling.
