As soon as a person gets saved, the first doctrine that ought to be taught is this subject. The devil has constantly attacked Christians in making them doubt their salvation and performing religious deeds to retain their salvation. Instead of living their new spiritual life in peace, a fresh believer lives in a state of fear and uncertainty. However, the word of God shows that salvation is not kept by good works, but rather by the work of Christ. No matter what sin an individual commits or what power an individual faces, that same person will always remain saved and go to Heaven nevertheless. The scriptures reveal that once you are saved, you are always saved. However, eternal security has also been criticized and misused by many thinking that a Christian who murders, steals, and sins can escape the consequences and enjoy the bliss of eternal glory. They do not realize that the Lord will thoroughly deal with people who commit iniquity and make sure that salvation is not abused as an excuse for sin. This study will cover questions such as, "How can I know 100% that I am saved when I don't?" "What if I commit some really bad sins and a pastor or Christian tells me that I'm not saved as a result?" "What verse proves to me that the Holy Spirit will never leave me no matter how much I sin?" "Didn't you know the Bible shows a double eternal security?" "Even triple eternal security?" "What is the best verse proving once and for all that I cannot lose my salvation?" "Isn't it ridiculous to think that a murderer can get away with sin and go to Heaven while a religious churchgoer can go to Hell despite of his good intentions?"

Emergents believe that false religions are following the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church and supporter of Emergent leaders, claimed, “I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.”¹ Brian McLaren, popular Emergent leader, stated, “I must add, though, that I don’t believe making disciples must equal making adherents to the Christian religion.  It may be advisable in many (not all!) circumstances to help people become followers of Jesus and remain within their Buddhist, Hindu, or Jewish contexts.”² Emergent leaders would associate with different religions that believe contrary to the Bible and criticize Bible-believing Christians who abide by the scriptures.  Moreover, it is sad to notice that there are Emergent churches who take their stand against the fundamentals of Christianity while quietly stepping back on the issue of homosexuality.    Dan Kimball does not appreciate how people are against the issue of homosexuality:

Ruth 1:2-5, 19-21
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

In this series of basic doctrines, the next topic covers the personalities of an Absolute Maker.  Mankind gives a false balance of their view with God.  One side believes him to be a wrathful God demanding cruel penalties upon unbelievers without showing any mercy.  The other side believes him to be such a lovey, dovey God permitting everyone to Heaven as the way they are.  This study will cover His attributes, which are proven to be completely perfect.  Also, they will expose how short mankind truly falls in comparison with such a Balanced Being.  This study will answer questions such as, "How can we tell what is right and wrong when there are so many psychological and philosophical debates?" "Does God listen to lost people's prayers?" "Is God gracious enough to bless us while ignoring my sinful consequences?" "What is the limit to God's grace after I sinned a million times?" "Didn't you know God has a terrible name?" "Didn't you know it is all right to tell God that He is terrible?" "Doesn't 'good' simply mean 'good'? Or does it have two meanings in the Bible?" "What verse proves that the Bible is the only trusted source while all others are false no matter how right they sound?" "What is the estimated cost to Solomon's temple that became a house to God's greatness?" "How does Genesis 1:1 show God's infinity to time, energy, space, and matter?"
