I would much rather learn about Lordship Salvation from Postmillennialists and Amillennialists than learn about Premillennialism from non-Lordship adherents. I can be wrong on my eschatology and be fine in my relationship with Christ. I cannot be wrong about sanctification and be fine in my relationship with Christ. Either all true Christians are being conformed to the image of Christ or we are not. There is no in-between where one can suggest having some sort of salvific experience then never grow in Christ while remaining stuck in Carnal Christianity... Carnal Christianity is an unbiblical myth that has created the Once Saved Always Saved controversy; a concept that robbed from the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints. God elected us for this very purpose. “He chose us in him [Christ] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight” (Eph. 1:4). We were predestinated to be conformed to the image of Christ in all His spotless purity (Rom. 8:29). This divine choice makes it certain that we shall be like Him when He appears (1 John 3:2). From this fact, John deduces that everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as Christ is pure (1 John 3:3). His use of the word “everyone” makes it quite certain that those who do not purify themselves will not see Christ, nor be like Him. By their lack of holiness they prove that they were not so predestinated. The apostle thus deals a crushing blow to Antinomianism. — Richard Alderson, No Holiness, No Heaven!, p. 88 #Lincolnton #Church #Christianity
