Off to Oklahoma for the debate first thing inthe morning. James White will be debating Dr. Bob Wilkins on the topic of Lordship Salvation. This is really about "Once Saved Always Saved" verses "The Perseverance of the Saints". Atleast that is how I am seeing this debate.
Does the Trinity save men perfectly or do men aid God in their salvation in some or any way at all? The topic of regeneration will be addressed. Do men choose to get "born again" or is there a change wrought by the Holy Spirit of God to give a new life.
Dr. Wilkin is a dispensationalist. He believes one only needs Jesus as Savior in order to be saved. As the old accusation goes, "Get saved for heaven and live like hell." Dr. White will be defending perseverance as evidence of true saving faith.
I am simply looking forward to the gospel being explained and defended by Dr. White. As Jesus said in John 5:26-29
"For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.
