    I have yet to find any Bible teacher I can agree with a 100%.

    I have yet to agree 100% with the myself of one year ago, or two years ago, or three years ago,.......... That is a lot to expect of someone else!

    I have told my folks - to never say "my pastor believes...." rather study the issue yourself - and have your own conviction. Now, I trust that they will come to my conclusion! But I am not worried about every little doctrine. But as I often say - what one person considers minor - others will consider major.

    There are presuppositions we all have. And there are reasons we believe what we "think" we believe.

    When we find we believe something different, do we really know why?

    Sometimes the disagreements are too abstract. In otherwords we do not understand the point of view being disagreed with.

    Finding the common points of agreement which a point of disagreement shares.

    What is important is knowing why we believe what we believe. And how we came to a point of view.

    Now Bible teachers we might disagree with. Typically we cannot have a discussion with them. Some of them are believers who have since gone on to be with the Lord.

    The best bible teacher is God. I know we all get rattled at some point and we need understanding. I pray for understanding because some times if left to myself with out His guidance I might start to think the wrong thing. You see it is my belief that God and His word can answer anything.

    Disagreeable is my near friend. When we get together there is going to be conflict and sure enough Grumpy will show up.

    Thing is, when my bride comes along, both Grumpy and Disagreeable don’t stay around.

    As long as every one agrees with me, there isn’t a problem.

    What, if anything, do any other believers disagree with you on?

    My wife and I like to say that we can "take the meat and throw away the bones".

    That's how I'm able to attend a Reformed CCM Church when I'm a Bible Thumpin, Gun totin' hillbilly that hates instruments and prefers the KJV. And that's how my wife was able to attend a Free Will Baptist Church with me for 3 years even though we (especially her) did not believe you could lose your salvation.

    I often say that as long as you're driving the same direction on the highway with me, then I don't care what color car you drive, whether it's a Presbyterian color, Baptist color or Pentecostal color. Let's focus on the folks driving the wrong way instead!

    Rarely does anyone have someone who they agree with totally.

    I was an interim pastor at a freewill Baptist church.
    The agreement was that I would not preach on eternal secucrity one way or the other.

    Wow. I trust you were successful in meeting what they wanted.

    Personally I find the notion one can be saved and can be lost nonsense. Then the latter, if possible, would mean that concept of salvation is really to be no such thing as being saved. My view to be saved is to go to heaven. To die and to go to hell is to never have been saved. The whole reason I believed in Christ was the notion I could know for sure. And I of course know God by knowing Christ as Savior. John 17:3, 1 John 5:12-13. One can never be an atheist by knowing God.

    That has got to be hard. But the end agreement that all must conclude when they promote “free will.”

    My point of view on being saved is that it is God who does the saving and it is God who does the keeping. John 10:26-30.
