ANY who hold that it depends (even partly) on self. Even if it's 99% Jesus and 1% self. That one must live in constant terror and fear they they have not (or are not) doing their part sufficiently. The ONLY ones that can have ANY assurance or rest AT
ALL are those who hold that Jesus is the Savior (not self) and so Jesus does the saving (not self).
100% God Who saves - With no help at all from man...
100% man who repents - With a whole LOT of interactive help from God...
Heb 6:4-6
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the Heavenly Gift,
and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
And have tasted the Good Word of God,
and the powers of the Age to Come,
If they should fall away,
to renew them again unto repentance;
seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,
and put Him to an open shame.
I reckon it is just the OTHER GUYS who might fall away...
As long as I have my ASSURANCE...
So where did I put it again??
