Ron, I don't disagree with your advice, you gave to Eleanor, but I have to disagree that words like Christian and saved are vague terms!

Susan

As I pointed out, "saved" has three technical tenses associated with it. Moreover, people often add to these definitions by saying things like we are saved now (prior to the application of redemption) if Christ atoned for our sins. Therefore, I think we need to be careful when employing the term.... The term Christian has limited place in the discussion for it simply does not get to the pertinent questions concerning how we are treat covenant children. I think we would all agree that there is no reason to check sound systematic theology at the door with all its specific terms and definitions.

Blessings,
