Thank you for posting this. When I was a young Christian, I was introduced to Dave Hunt’s books, I can’t remember when. But his love for the truth of God’s Word set me on the path that gave me the love for the truth of God’s Word. I met him in Maryland on one of his lectures at a church. I wanted to meet him badly and I probably was the only one there who had him autograph several books of his that I bought!
Unfortunately, I stopped listening to him when he started preaching Once Saved Always Saved. He taught me to search the Scriptures and that teaching I could not, in all my searching of the Scriptures, reconcile with the Word of God.
Despite that, I still had great respect for him. I still do.
RIP, Mr. Hunt.
Then you need to keep searching, and step back and look at the greater context. You should be able to say like Paul, "Neither life nor death nor.... shall separate us from the love of God. For I know whom I have believed and He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day."
Paul's faith wasn't in Paul's ability to keep faith, or Paul's works. Paul's faith was in God's ability. When you understand that, you'll be able to take the verses that indicate once saved always saved at face value. And you'll be able to see the real context of the verses that would seem to contradict that view.
DAVE HUNT was a great Christian and an outstanding example to us all.
ANYONE with an open mind would benefit greatly by reading ANY book by Mr Hunt
