TIME SALVATION, CONDITIONAL

TIME SALVATION, CONDITIONAL Conditional Time Salvation SEE PBtop: Reply to Conditional Time Salvation by 516 Do you consider time salvation to be anything beyond the peace of mind that a child of God has while walking in obedience to God? [i] We read of some who were tortured, not accepting deliverance. Would you think they had time salvation even though they were physically tortured and were not delivered physically? They did obtain a better resurrection. I can see some things in the scriptures that teach that through obedience we eat the good of the land {Isaiah 1:19} and I certainly believe that through obedience through the Spirit that we reap and enjoy the things of God in this life and I do believe that it is time salvation and that it IS contingent upon our doing it. Therefore it is conditional. Both eternal and time salvation though are of grace and that is the part wherein I think some are critical of the phrase "conditional time salvation" for they are thinking that those who advocate it are saying that time salvation is of works whereas eternal salvation is of grace. To me, time salvation is of grace for if it were not for God working in us to will and to do of His pleasure, none of us would be obedient to the conditional things which He requires for our deliverances of peace in this life.

[i] I, myself, consider time salvation in the child of God to be the peace of mind experienced by the child of God. However, I do indeed see the answer to be correct given by the good brother who answered the question with reference to the Ninevehites but I do not take this as being the same type deliverence given to Nineveh. God is good indeed to the worldly man for He gives rain upon the land of the unjust as He does on the land of the justified. {Matthew 5:45} As to the matter of time salvation even though they were physically tortured and were not delivered physically my answer is this: As pertaining to eternal salvation, I do think they had time salvation in the sense of peace with God. As pertaining to time salvation or deliverance in this life, they did not have it while they were suffering under the tortue. It would seem the tormenters (tormentors)? were the ones experiencing physical time deliverance (physically and in time they were the victors) but eternally the situation was a reverse unless the Lord later delivered those tormentors from themselves.
