Not Saved?
Not trying to start (or revive) a doctrine debate, just venting....
Last night I watched (AGAIN) as a man in our church sought for the Holy Ghost. Let me tell you about him.......
He is an inmate at a local prison who was reached through our prison ministry...
He recieved the Word....
He repented....
Re-established contact with his family....
Got baptized (in Jesus name).....
Gets out on release every Sunday AM and PM to come to church (and NEVER misses) ....
He truly desires to live for God, and looks forward to getting out of prison soon.
And yet he seeks in sincere prayer Sunday after Sunday (for SIX MONTHS!!!) at the altar for the entire altar time, with brothers all around him shouting and screaming and talking in his ear and holding his hands up in the air....and hasn't spoken in tongues yet. He literally BEGS!!!! God to save him with tears streaming down his face..
After service, elders and the pastor group around him, hug him, and tell him he'll get saved soon if he just keeps trying. Last night, my mother in law (one if the churches matriarchs, and TRULEY the most Godly woman I know) told him the same thing.
I have never seen such a vivid illustartion of the biggest hole in our doctrine...God hasn't saved this man?? Really?? He's still going to hell????
I am truly troubled....I'm looking to ANY example of anything close to this in the bible....
SIGH.... As I said, I'm just venting.
Thanks
