Eternal Security

Content of the GospelSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the topic of eternal security in this thought-provoking discussion. He challenges the common belief among evangelicals that once a person accepts Christ, they are unconditionally secure in their salvation, even if they later reject their faith. Gregg argues that the Bible does not support this view and warns against the acceptance of antinomianism within the church. He emphasizes that true salvation in Christ requires perseverance and the ongoing obedience to God, debunking the notion of unconditional and irrevocable security.
