Puritan Board Senior
Ok guys, need a little assistance. My bother is thinking of attending a local church in his area. I am very excited about this because he has NOT been a member of a local body since we were young boys.
Here is a link to the Church:

I emailed the pastor to discuss some of his views, particularly on KJVO.
Here is his 2nd reply to me. For any of you guys that are more familiar with Greek and the subutleties of the different texts, I would appreciate your input here. I would also covet your opinion on the Church Link above if you would like to do so.
From the Pastor:
Steve - The verses from the ESV are a perfect example of how the translations pervert the Word of God.
"and by which you are being saved" is wrong wrong wrong.
KJV - 1 Cor 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
We are not being saved, we either are or we are not. According to Eph 1:13 when we trust in Christ we are sealed (saved).
" In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"
Ehp 2:8 By Grace ye are saved.... not being saved - are saved.
Those that teach we can lose our salvation love the rendering of the ESV because it states we can lose our salvation. If the ESB preverts the truth about the most basic truth of Salvation, which it does, it is in no way excellent. How can you defend such perversion.
