1 Corinthians 10:12
12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing
House) 1984, [Online] Available: Logos Library System.
Romans 6 is not a problem for the Calvinist view and neither is 1
Corinthians 10:12. We all need to be warned and even disciplined. And
some who think they are saved have never been truly saved so we need to
walk before the Lord carefully and humbly.
It is a misunderstanding of the Reformed view to think that eternal
security means we don't have to bear responsibility or culpability for our
actions or our Christian walk.
Bible Knowledge Commentary:
10:12. If the Corinthians believed their standing in Christ and
corresponding freedom could be exercised in sin with impunity, they were
wrong, possibly dead wrong.
10:13. After kicking out the props of false security, Paul pointed toward
the One on whom the Corinthians could rely. The temptations that seized the
Corinthians were like those people had always faced. They could be met and
endured by depending on God, who is faithful. Part of the Corinthian
problem, of course, was that some in the face of temptation were not
looking for a way out by endurance, but a way in for indulgence.
