GTGR REVIEW #131( 3/14/2013 )
False gospel people run to Gal.5:1-4, “Severed from Christ”, “Fallen from grace”, trying to prove salvation can be lost; Paul warns believers not to fall back into anti-grace legalism = loss of fellowship & rewards
GTGR REVIEW #132( 3/19/2013 )
2 Pet.1:10-11, “Add diligence to your faith & not stumble in order to enter the eternal kingdom” does NOT mean possible salvation loss! Paul warns useless, non-growing & unfruitful believers that they’ll lose out on eternal rewards

GTGR REVIEW #139( 4/11/2013 )
APOLOGETICS: Holy Spirit provides (4) Spiritual Illumination for believers, to help them understand scripture & learn how to impart it to others; (5) Prophecy, the greatest evidence God exists, Bible His Word…
GTGR REVIEW #140( 4/16/2013 )
