The God Factor In A New Frontier

And The Two Became One The compatibility of "you can lose your salvation" (Arminian) and "once saved always saved" (Calvinistic) schools of thought is often questioned. Is one right and the other wrong? Are they both right in some areas and wrong in some areas? Are they both wrong? Are they both right? This book will show how the differences are acceptable when the "God factor" is entered into the equation. It may appear to be a new frontier to the reader, and when applied with the discernment presented in the text, both schools of thought presented with their strengths, are seen to be correct as taught in the Scriptures. The writer brings together the differences, while presenting a positive approach to the weaknesses of both doctrinal positions. The limitations are overcome by applying the "God factor" as one enters into a new frontier of comprehension and perception. Drawbacks or differences in every denomination are the results of human influences which can be bridged by returning to the master plan of God's Word. The author attempts to reveal not only the misconceptions of human influences in presenting various beliefs, but to draw the multiplicities together by lining them up with Biblical truth. There is no intention of discrediting anyone's belief or doctrinal position, but in simplicity, objectively enlarge it by applying an insight inadvertently unobserved by the purposeful and maturing Christian. After reading this book, one will have a new appreciation for the diverse views of other Christians.
