The fruit of the Spirit is what he confesses. And he confesses that the Lord Jesus Christ did not die for all sin, but only the cosmic lottery winners. He is outside the faith. He has another faith and another Jesus, as Paul said. And headed for hell.
It isn't Lottery. The stone the builders rejected became the cornerstone for all who believe. It is a miracle that any of us believe because it is Christ drawing us. I don't know about you, but for me, Christ was irresistable. We are both here in Him, right?
I'm saying don't draw the harsh line. In my church, there is an embrace. The Boyd and others are SBC. I think it the better model. Yes, we may not all be in Him, but 'if' we can, I think inclusion better than ostracism. I do stand firm as we all should on doctrine but it is important to discern salvific and nonsalvific matters. When I first learned of OV, I was leary and had to watch closely. I do not believe it a salvific matter on a doctrinal level. Our disagreement is serious but it is critical we rightly divine, and rightly divide. For me, I have followed my SBC leaders because it seems fitting and wise at this time.
We may continue to fight and argue the matter, but for me, you are in my fellowship and I don't want the separation.
In Him
