Yes, Salvation Cannot Be Earned
One subject that frequently comes up in the discussions I have, or perhaps I should say, one accusation that is frequently leveled against me for denying the doctrine of eternal security, is that I must believe that faith comes by works. The rationale of such an argument goes something like this: if you can do something, or anything to gain salvation, or do something or anything to forfeit it, it must be something that can be earned. Whether you agree that it can be forfeited or not, let me explain why I don’t believe that my denial of eternal security automatically requires me to believe it can be earned, and what the difference between the two is. I rather dislike the fact that much of any discussion on the topic is wasted on this clarification, and I’d like to set it in virtual stone for future reference.
