In our fifth episode, my guest Cory Reckner and I discuss the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Are Christians able to find warrant within the Scriptures to defend this doctrine? Some argue that belief in this doctrine can provide a false sense of security, while others defend it as Biblical and as an encouragement to believers. The early church father, Saint Augustine, in his work titled "the Gift of Perseverance", notably defined and defended this doctrine.
While Saint Augustine held to this doctrine, it has had a mixed reception in both modern day Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. Within Protestantism, the Reformed tradition has rigorously defended this doctrine and provided proof texts and argumentations as to why this doctrine has its roots in the Bible. In the 17th century, the reformed Church of the Netherlands, at the Synod of Dort, responded to the Remonstrance (the Arminians). The synod provided a rebuttal to the Arminian position that held in doubt, whether or not all of the elect will actually persevere to the end.
