From post #192..
"So I want to bring these three things up again, as we didn't get many responding aye or nay.
Can we have consensus on these three basic principles?
1. The Father loves us and we are reborn with a gift of new life - His life - in us, and therefore children of God who are true believers are thereby saved eternally.
2. There are many warnings in the OT and NT telling us we are accountable - there is some degree of scrutiny by God in the next life (and also this life) - for our works after we receive the new birth.
3. God is righteous and His judgments are just. He is firm yet He is fair in all His ways."
these were very relevant to topic... so I thought including them up front would be good and then summarizing with them in the end. something like this
Front: " In this paper three basic and scriptural principles will be covered....... "
Middle: the article itself
End: " I have endeavored to show from the scriptures three principles of the Christian faith concerning the Father's love, regeneration, righteousness, and His judgments.... "
