So-Called Opponents of Lordship Salvation Easy Believist?

By -
It's been some time since I have begun to think of the Lordship controversy and how it's been erroneously used by the conditional security crowd leading to one battle after the other. It's something to lump the wrong people together. For one, there are people who claim to be "so-called" opponents of Lordship salvation but in reality can't even be easy believists or Arminians for these reasons:

1.) They are not Antinomian. They believe like I do that salvation is a life changing process that changes lives and that a believer doesn't have the permission to sin.

2.) They believe Christ is Lord and Savior. Yup they believe submission to Christ is not optional but a result of one's salvation. Though some Baptist preachers claimed to be easy believists but they don't preach the easy 1-2-3 Gospel and teach sin must be dealt with. They preach Christ as Lord indeed.

3.) They believe repentance is necessary for salvation and that until a person sees themselves as sinners, they will never turn to Jesus Christ as Savior.

4.) Though they believe salvation cannot be lost but they also believe in sanctification.

What sets them apart from the so-called opponents from the opponents would be this:

1.) They DO NOT believe Christians can live the way they want even if one has eternal security. Being once saved, always saved will be shown by one's lifestyle.

2.) They do believe that Christians will not turn away from the faith. Some Independent Baptist ministries though they claim to be easy believists however don't believe in the ex-believer heresy. In part, they still believe in the Perseverance of the Saints.

As said, the severe misrepresentation of Reformed Theology is another issue why the Body of Christ is divided. In fact while I appreciated the preaching of some Independent Baptist preachers but sad to say, they have fallen into severe divisions. For one I'm even accused of teaching works salvation while Arminians accuse me of teaching Antinomianism. But I could care less- I really go according to historic Christianity, not by the watered down repentance we suffer today resulting to several false conversions. I could care less if you are Reformed or not, Calvinist or not... the issue is are you getting your fundamentals right?
