The Believer's Conditional Security
"Scholarly, exciting, startling, refreshing" are the words which best describe Dan Corner's new book ... I believe God has raised up Dan to fearlessly challenge the antinomian Goliaths of our day.  --Pastor Robert L. Brush, Retired Pastor, Author... a must for every pastor's library. It should be referred to often as a resource for truth concerning this subject of 'once saved always saved.'  --Pastor L. D.  Savage, D.D.... a strong presentation of the case against the popular, but deadly, 'Once saved, Always saved' doctrine ... ferrets out every argument ... and answers [them] ...  uncovers the darker side of Calvin, includes ...  letters ... written to the principal propagators of Calvinism today, destroys every supposed refuge by scripture ... hundreds of scripture references ... polemic, direct, yet charitable; ... allows no quarter and no secrets, but is gracious ... simply asks that those who believe ... OSAS ... be honest enough to read his treatise and ... make a scripturally-based decision ... a treasure of information [for] those who want to know what well-known ministry personalities are saying, what the Bible says, and how that should affect our belief system ... a must; it ought to find its way into the homes of ... teachers, preachers, and interested laymen. If not a principal text, it should ... be collateral reading for our Bible School ministerial students.  --Leonard Sankey, General Secretary, InterChurch Holiness Convention... a vital book with a Scripturally-based, plainly written message solidly refuting and exposing the evil deceptions of falsehoods that are currently invading evangelicalism -- a must read for those who would earnestly contend for the true faith of salvation from sin with conditional security.  --Wesley H. Wakefield, Bishop-General, The Bible Holiness Movement, Canada... a wealth of historical and contemporary resource material on the subject of perseverance and conditional security. With solid biblical interpretation and well-reasoned logic, he refutes the erroneous teachings of current leaders who teach extreme eternal security. He also notes the destructive results of a teaching that has produced a lessening of personal commitment to righteous living.  --Zenas Bicket, President, Berean University... an important work in this day of terrible doctrinal compromise. May many read it and be converted to Biblical truth.  --Pastor David J. Beam, President, Free Gospel Bible Institute... based on extensive study combined with a thorough review of the arguments set forth by popular teachers of unconditional security. The reasoning ... is presented very powerfully and with great passion, but to hear Dan Corner in a debate is to hear a calm, rational, and most importantly, scriptural presentation of an issue that easily lends itself to pure emotionalism. To those committed to unconditional security, I challenge you to read this book with an open mind, and take another look at the scriptural passages referenced ... you will gain the integrity of having fairly examined the issue from both sides ... [and] find a cogent view that validates the truthfulness of scripture ... Your reward will be a thorough understanding of the believer's security ... that is crucial if we are to take II Timothy 2:15 seriously, and 'correctly handle the word of truth.'  --Dr. Chris Jakway, Spring Arbor College... probably the most important contribution to the debate over the security of the believer since Robert Shank wroteLife in the Sonover 35 years ago.  Not only does the author trace the historical development of the doctrine of perseverance and exegete the passages cited by both sides, but he demonstrates the practical consequences of a false view of this important subject. We will not see revival until there is first a reformation. God is too wise to revive a lawless Church which believes it can sin with impunity. This book is an ax laid at the root of the problem. May God use it to start a reformation.  --Dr. Vic Reasoner, Editor,The Arminian Magazine, Issue 1, Spring 1998, Volume 16
