Re: What are you? One stepper or Three stepper

If you believe there MAY be, COULD be, or MIGHT be exceptions...such as Martin Luther...you're not a genuine three stepper. Plain and simple.

I'm willing to wager...that the vast majority are not three steppers. Even some self proclaimed three steppers appear to ALLOW for one to be saved by God's sovereign grace with only one step. That's essentially proving the strength of the one stepper position.
No it does not prove anything. It simply shows the nature of man not wanting to condemn anyone and show mercy. It has nothing to do with negating ones belief but more of hope that God will some way have away. The one step position is very weak. Also the 1 step position is not really one step. As many believe repentance is not necessary but one is saved by simple faith apart from repentance. 1) Faith 2) Repentance 3) Baptism 4)HS 5)Faithfulness
