COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT SALVATION John R. Gentry “Many false prophets have gone out in the world” (1 John 4.1, ESV).

Would that we all would heed Paul’s appeal and admonition, “I appeal to you, brothers, [...]
Ask Your Preacher (8) Question: Ask your preacher where the Bible says “once in grace, always in grace.” You have heard this statement made many times, haven’t you? Over and over men proclaim that if a man is once in grace, he is always in grace. In other words, they say if he is once [...]
