Backsliding of Christians Sermon Theme at Central Baptist
Dr. Pettingill argues there is a vast difference between backsliding and apostasy during a revival at Central Baptist Church. He defines apostasy as a professing Christian who turns from the gospel, while a backslider remains a Christian who loses fellowship but not salvation. He cites 1 John 2 19 1 John 1 9 and 1 Corinthians 11 32 to illustrate judgment forgiveness and continual cleansing by God through confession and the Word. He uses John 13 to illustrate cleansing by washing feet as a continuing need.
