I will bring to you a classic example of "Conditional Time Salvation." This lesson has absolutely nothing to do with "Eternal Salvation." It has only to do with a "Conditional Time Salvation." I will not go into a lot of details. I will merely present the lesson and let you think about it and consider it from all angles with as many questions as you may desire to ask. This lesson has reference to a deliverance that is described in the book of Jonah. Do you believe that the salvation of all the people of Nineveh means that 100% of those people had eternal salvation? [i] Is there anything that suggests that eternal salvation for the people of Nineveh is involved in the book of Jonah? [ii] The salvation of Nineveh was UNIVERSAL. Every one of them was delivered from a timely destruction. Every one of them fulfilled the condition of repenting (and this was a "natural" repentance). The deliverance (salvation) was for time only and had absolutely nothing to do with eternal salvation. Every one of the inhabitants of Nineveh did experience this timely deliverance and everyone of them had to fulfill the CONDITION in order to have the salvation from a natural destruction. I do not believe that spiritual activities were involved-these were altogether natural activities that were involved in achieving this natural deliverance. There may be spiritual activities in some situations, but I do not believe that every single Ninevehite was involved in a spiritual manner. I do not believe that every Ninevehite that experienced this deliverance was necessarily a child of God--the subject in this lesson has nothing to do with eternal life or being saved in heaven. Hence, I do not believe that the saving grace of God was being active in this deliverance--this deliverance was strictly obtained by a timely fulfilling of the condition that had been exacted and that condition was a repentance of the ENTIRE city. Study this lesson carefully. It is a proof of CONDITIONAL TIME SALVATION. There is no proof that all of these will be eternally saved in heaven--in fact, there is certainly no proof that every single Ninevehite had eternal salvation. But there is absolute proof that Nineveh experienced a 100% CONDITIONAL TIME SALVATION. It occured in time and was not eternal--it depended upon fulfillment of the condition that was named. (REPENT) This lesson from the book of Jonah does teach CONDITIONAL TIME SALVATION. It is not related to the final ETERNAL SALVATION of anybody.

[i] No sir. 516

[ii] Nothing that I recall. I may be wrong but I agree with you except that I still believe that salvation in time is by grace ONLY as it was by grace ONLY that Nineveh was spared. 516
