After listening to a conference held about thirty years ago, I have reflected this morning on several statements that were made during one of the panel discussions. I think the speaker who made these statements was Dr. Smith or Dr. Sanders. The conference took place at Covenant Seminary and Jimmy Carter was the President at the time (just to date it), but I don't know all the speakers, just that it is distributed by Mt. Olivet tape library.
"The covenant is the instrument by which election is realized in the world."
"Election is not a means to get anybody lost, but it is a means of getting people saved."
And a quote from the WCF, "Assurance is not of the essence of faith." "I take that to mean that you can be saved and not know it....we can not lose our salvation but we can lose our assurance."
