Jerry's MAD is not identical to Nick's MAD. Jerry is more right than Nick, but both are still wrong.
Your so-called "proof" that I am wrong is your absurd idea that the "good news" that Christ died for our sins is the same "good news" that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
And why do you continue to refuse to even address my remarks about what you said here?:
MAD relies on proof texts out of context in KJV or NKJV, not sound Greek or English evidence in context.
You make false charges against MAD because you are a Pentecostal who refuses to see the truth that the present dispensation did not begin on the day of Pentecost.
I will quote these verses from the NIV and not from either the KJV or NKJV. First, we can see that the Christian is told that he already possess eternal life:
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son" (1 Jn.5:11; NIV).
And this is what the Lord Jesus says about those to whom He has given eternal life:
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish" (Jn.10:27-28; NIV).
The Lord Jesus says that they shall never perish but you say that they can!
You deny the Lord Jesus' words and then you claim that you believe what is written in the Bible. And then when confronted with these truths you run away from them as fast as you can with your tail between your legs!
