The point is that while those people "subscribe" to the heresies and may even defend them, they do not understand the real consequences of their ideas. For example, the Arminian who still believes that they were saved by Christ doesn't really understand that their faulty theology says the opposite - that they saved themselves.<BR/><BR/>It is this that gives us the ability to have true fellowship with believers from different denominations, since we do not know their heart. We must assume, unless proven otherwise, that these are true, but mistaken, believers, just as we are true, but mistaken, believers. We can then rejoice with them that God does not give a theology exam as a requirement for entrance into heaven, only the blood of Christ applied to our sins can merit that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603359.post-70141192280561232212007-09-05T21:12:00.000-07:002007-09-05T21:12:00.000-07:00I think I would have chafed a bit if this was one ...I think I would have chafed a bit if this was one of your Spurgeon quotes, Nate.Droll Floodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028589491353828075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603359.post-74577662262218546612007-09-05T19:39:00.000-07:002007-09-05T19:39:00.000-07:00Interesting post.

It's a difficult subject, to say the least, but that seems to be a pretty good view of things.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229664869019275181noreply@blogger.com
