Grace Evangelical Society

In connection with the 2023 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference starting next week, May 22, 2023, we will be releasing Friday, May 19, 2023 at 11:00am central, the following historic message from the 2006 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference:



"Saved or in a State of Grace?" by Zane C. Hodges



Through a hypothetical dialogue between two college students, Zane examines whether "saved" in Acts 16:31 may be understood as "safe for the time being" or whether "saved" must mean an eternal irrevocable salvation. In the follow up question and answer session, Zane answers many questions regarding the issue of eternal security, assurance and the gospel message.




Tune-in and watch this important message. Join us next week on YouTube Live for the 2023 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference beginning, Monday, May 22, 2023 at 12:45pm.
