Dear Friends, I’ve been trying since September 2017 to biblically refute the popular notion that people become eternally saved from the lake of fire by choosing to believe a preacher / Bible verse, or by praying a certain prayer, or any other act of the human will. It’s been an […]

Are you dying inside? (Part 2d5)
