Summary: A Life-changing Book!
Review: I highly recommend this book if you are dealing with wanting to know if eternal security is what the bible taught or not. Dan Corner does the best job in refuting Eternal Security that I have ever seen! If you have any doubts or questions this book answers them all. Very well done and a very indepth and thorough job.

Summary: No Stone Unturned
Review: I just purchased this book and I am taken back by the amount of research and documentation that has gone into it. He deals with all the "prooftext" that are used. Offers alternative ideas and backs them up with scripture. Many of the books and people he quotes are edited (for space)and so the context can't be checked out. Some of the books he refers to are out of print and hard to come by. Mr. Corner writes with passion and gives the reader a lot to think about. He is a man and he is sharing his ideas, but its important for the Christian to look at both sides of a doctrinal issue and not just except something because a radio preacher or pastor speaks it to be true. "Be not decieved" "Hold to sound doctrine" This book is one that I will study a lot. This is a big issue today and is one that all Believers will face if they share thier faith with anyone. The author takes people to task. He writes them letters and offers to debate those who will openly discuss the issue. He is not shy, but rather bold in his approach. He has opened the door for those who disagree (and there are many) to counter his charges and let the chips fall. Mr. Corner, gives a great history about the doctrine and where it got its start. Every Christian should read and consider what this man has to say.

Summary: Thorough Examination of REAL Biblical Grace!
Review: Jesus said that there would be many false prophets and false teachers in this world. Never has that been more true than today. Many "Christian" teachers on TV, radio and on the bookshelves are misleading multitudes of people to Hell through their false teachings. The most heinous of these is the heretical - yet highly palatable - teaching of Eternal Security, or "Once Saved, Always Saved."Case in point: Charles Stanley. Here's what he believes: "No matter what you do as a child of God, you are forgiven. You say, 'Murder?' Forgiven. 'Adultery?' Forgiven. 'Stealing?' Forgiven. 'Worshipping idols?' Forgiven." According to Charles Stanley's "gospel", you can become even more vile and wicked after salvation than before because all your sins (past, present AND future) have already been forgiven, and really you have no need of confession or repentance, other than to preserve your heavenly rewards and fellowship with God. This philosophy is in direct conflict with at least TWO scriptures -- 1 John 1:9 (written to Christians) - "IF we CONFESS our sins, He is faithful and just and WILL FORGIVE us our sins AND CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness", and 2 Peter 1:9 (also written to Christians) - "For whoever lacks these things [the virtues listed in verses 5-8] is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his PAST sins." PAST sins -- NOT past, present, and future sins! In fact, Jesus even taught that one's ENTIRE SIN DEBT could be RE-IMPUTED for failing to forgive others (Matthew 18:32-35)!!! Another case in point: Chuck Swindoll. Here's what he believes regarding Christians defecting from the faith: "If you have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are still a child of God. YOU MAY DENY HIM, BUT HE WILL NEVER DENY YOU. Though you are faithless, He will remain faithful." The verse that he misuses here is 2 Timothy 2:12-13, which reads: "If we endure, we will also reign with Him. IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US. If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself." Notice that Swindoll's teaching is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what scripture teaches! Swindoll, instead of teaching the pure and holy Word of God, teaches the exact opposite in order to protect and promote the false teaching of Eternal Security, even going so far as to say that you can RENOUNCE CHRIST and still go to Heaven! Heresy!!! Daniel Corner does a thorough job in this book not only of documenting the false teachings [heresies] of the so-called "Christian" teachers of our day, but clearly and concisely documents what the Bible teaches - which is a CONDITIONAL security for the believer. In a dark day of rampant heresy, this book is truly is a ray of light. Read the Bible for yourself to see what it teaches. You will see that Dan's book aligns with it perfectly.

Summary: A great study resource!
Review: Jude commanded the Church to earnestly contend for the faith. Couple that with Paul's charge to "reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine," and the outcome would be Dan Corner's life and work. This book has truly blessed me and I wholeheartedly charge ever Christian to read it. Then study it. It definetly is a work that should be held in high regards, along with your Vines and Strongs. Use it as witnessing and apologetics tool. This book is bold and the most scripturally sound work ever done on the false doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved."

Summary: Wildly-enthusiastic and weighty
Review: Just want to quickly cast my vote with all those from around the USA and the world who are impressed with this scholarly work. Those in the desert long for cool water. Similarly, those with a heart for God long for scriptural truths they can sink their teeth into--cool water to flush through your soul. Such you will find in TBCS. This book rings so true to the bible, thus many enthusiastic and weighty reviews from readers. I have read it from cover to cover (more than once) and find it spiritually chewy and insightful, right in line with what Jesus and his apostles taught. If you're looking for watered down pablum, you won't find it here. This is no ear tickling writer (2 Timothy 4:3). It is hard hitting and can be disturbing if you've never been confronted with the other side of the eternal security coin. Or if you don't like the other side (the biblical side)! May God raise up 1000 more authors like this one.

Summary: It's About Time.
Review: Mr. Corner has done an outstanding job of refuting a heresy that has possibly sent untold numbers of people into eternity with false hope. That false hope is that our walk with God is not something that has to be maintained daily. I saw no "legalistic fireblast" from this book as others have stated. I did see stated facts regarding the men that helped institute this awful lie. On the contrary, I did see true grace as it was intended for believers who are sincerely walking in a faithful relationship with Jesus Christ. There could have been more exegesis on some of the scriptures. However, I believe the sheer magnitude of verses given contain enough self-exegesis to completely demolish this false teaching. With regards to Romans 3:21-21, the writer never stated that our righteousness was accomplished through works. He simply gave a ton of scripture to support the biblical truth that as children of God we no longer do what is right in order to be justified, we do what is right because we are justified!

Summary: The Truth Shall Set You Free
Review: Next to the Bible I have found Dan Corner's book, "The Believer's Conditional Security", to be the most important book for the true Chistian to devour. I have been reading and studying God's Holy Word for well over 25 years and Dan's book has been what I believe to be the most accurate and well put togehter study book of God's Word. I certainly recommend it most highly for all who call themselves Christians as it is my belief that MOST Christians are being deceived by many professing Christian leaders who are either deceived themselves or purposely defending the FALSE belief that once a person is truely born again it is impossible to fall away from God and lose their salvation. I believe that Satan is using the lie of "eternal security" or "once saved alway saved" as his main tool to fool true believer's and to lure them into his fold and ultimately into eternal hell. God's Word, The Holy Bible, leaves no doubt that it is a MUST for the true believer, the true child of God, the born again saved person, the person who has truely and sincerely accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to continue to persevere in thier faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Please read Dan's Book. May God Bless you all.

Summary: The heresy of Arminianism
Review: The author of this book seems to disregard the fact that after salvation, the same grace that saves you (Eph. 2:8-9) is the same grace that enables you for service (Eph. 2:10). When Christ saves somone, they become a new creature (2 Cor. 5:17). They become partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4) and become a "peculiar people" zealous of good works (Titus 2:14). The same power that rose Christ from the grave is the same power that energizes the Christian to do Christian service (Eph. 1:19-20; Phil. 2:13). You cannot mix works and grace (Rom. 11:6). If salvation were by works, then God would owe the one that did the work (Rom. 4:1-5, note verse 4). By using numerous straw-man arguments, the author "refutes" a system that does not exist. When Christ saves, He saves to the "uttermost." To say that one could lose his salvation, is to say that Christ's resurrecting power was not good enough to keep them! "To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Pet. 1:4-5

Summary: THE MORE I READ DAN CORNER'S BOOK, THE MORE I LOVE IT
Review: The more I read Dan Corner's book, the more I love it. The doctrine exposed on these pages is so simple and so biblical. I thank God for this book and the Scripture-based study on the Conditional Security of the Believers. Without Holiness NO MAN shall see the Lord (Heb. 12:14). The Bible teaches us to be holy and to live holy lives to please the Lord. This is clearly exposed on all the pages of this book.
