The Legacy of One-Point Calvinism

I had the opportunity of growing up in a fundamental Baptist church with sound teaching. I never missed a service from the time I was pre-school until I was out of high school. It was then that I started living a godless life while holding on to a childhood profession of faith.

It was the truth expressed in this article that brought me to saving faith in Christ when I was 28 years old. After years of telling people that “I was saved when I was 5 and baptized when I was 12. I’m just a backslider,” someone confronted me with two questions: “If you’re really a Christian, how can you live like you’re living?” and “If you’re a backslider, why aren’t you miserable?”
