If I asked you why some people visit your church and never return you might have some pretty sound reasons why that is. Some of those reasons might even be very deep theologically.

Eternal Security or Conditional Security?
Eternal Security has always been a tough subject because it’s impact on our everyday life is significant. It affects, how we act, how we view others, and how we view the scriptures.
Let us first take a look at the three scenarios that exist for this argument (assuming I’m not missing anything).

I am not necessarily advocating any of these 3, just listing them for the readers.
I am sure a more in-depth examination could be had on this subject. This is just an overview. If you wish to add to the discussion please use the comments section below.
