Questions to people who hold fast reform doctrine as an Idol.

my only response to people who hold fast strange teachings are

1) are there not stages of growth in the christian walk? do we not start out stumbling and then learn to walk and run even? or are we saved and walk spiritually and conquer the flesh immediately? what is your experience in the growth in the christian graces?

2) if no one can know that they are elect, do you then know that you are saved? where is the assurance of salvation?

3) if a christian cannot be 'carnal' then do you struggle with your flesh or do you think you obey God 100% of the time? if you are not aware of your flesh's dominance, how then are you going to be liberated of it?

4) is it not more dangerous to know that you are saved but not know that you are living in works of flesh? or are we spiritual they day we are re-generate?

5) did jesus not say that those who know the way but do not do the way of the Kingdom be beaten with many stripes? so are there not people who know what they ought to do but don't? are there not people who hold fast to strange doctrines and never become spiritual?
