um what are we talking about again?
You know on the computer, every time you edit a document it keeps saving it? It doesnt do it only once. You have to keep saving it....
also, you might accidentally put it in the recycle and even delete it. So its not foolproof.
what about all the messages on your phone...are they saved FOREVER? Is everything recorded even if you happen to delete it?
So anyway maybe people are looking at this saving business the wrong way. When Jesus saves, He does it forever, cos He keeps our souls in heaven where thieves cannot steal or rust destroy. But when man saves, he only sees the here and now on earth and stuff happens to us in between.
I very much doubt that what man claims or calls saved is really what Jesus meant...becuase anyone whos followed Jesus knows in themselves we are works in progress.
Also I think its kinda to stop people coming up to the pastor or calling up the church all the time. Oh you got saved ok off you go...live your best christian life. I will tick the box next to your name. Next.
Im a bit sceptical about that. maybe it had good intentions but it doesnt quite work that way, and reducing things down to slogans is like well WWJD?
