INTRODUCTION by Ryan Ringnald
The Burden of Getting Back to the Bible and New Testament Christianity
The Purposes For This Book Briefly Explained
      A Loving and Honest Plea to the Scattered Remnant of God's People
      A Sober Warning to the Christian Leaders Who Have Forsaken Due Process
      The Need For Addressing Specific Christian Leaders by Name

CHAPTER 1: “If we sin wilfully” – Heb. 10:26
The False Accusations:
The Common and Accepted Teaching:
What We Really Believe: the true & biblical meaning of the deed called, “sinning wilfully”
An Exhaustive & Necessary Explanation: “The Salvation of the Will”
Gross Oversimplification with Eternally Binding Consequences
      Specific Points of Criticism:
      What provokes such harmful generalities and unbiblical phraseology, like in this video?
Trusting in a Transaction or Looking unto Jesus?
      Jesus Christ is the Mind, Method, and Mechanism of Salvation
      An Immature Repentance Growing In Maturity
      Non-Damnable Sin, Non-Damnable Backsliding, & Non-Damnable Wavering
      Avoiding Extremes
          1)       The Loss of Assurance Through Un-Biblical Standards of Strictness:
          2)       The Assurance “Never-Lost” Through Un-Biblical Standards of Looseness:
From Sin to Grace – The Experience of the New Birth (John Wesley)
From Grace to Sin – The Process and Progress of Falling From Grace (John Wesley)
Hypothetical Situations Which Question Biblical Verdicts
Temporary Cessations of Sanctification = the Loss of Biblical Revival

Picture
CHAPTER 2: “The Conscience as it Relates to Justification” 
Salvation as Freedom from “sinning wilfully” as it Relates to “A Clear Conscience” & Salvation as it Relates to Justification, Forgiveness of Sin, and the Guilt of Unforgiven Sin

Arguments Circling Around Hebrews 10:26
Understanding Hebrews 10:22 - Aspects of Blood-Sprinkling, Cleansing, Purging, & Washing, in Relationship to the Conscience & Salvation, With the Threat of Defilement in View

CHAPTER 3: “A Justified, Regenerated, & Righteous Man TURNED Into an Unjustified, Wicked, Sinner Again – temporarily” 
Matthew 18 & 1st Corinthians 5
      [Metaphor #1] Christians – a Body with many members (Matt. 18:8-9)
      [Metaphor #2] Christians – a Flock of sheep with one Shepherd (Matt. 18:10-14)
      [Plain Doctrinal Terms] Christians – the formula of accountability & judgment (Matt. 18:15-20)
      Justification = declared righteous & Unjustified = declared wicked
The Book of Galatians
The Book of James

      The Paradigm of Parental Chastisement
      The Wrath of Jesus Christ
