Among the five things (or links in the "golden chain") of Romans 8: 29-30 (foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, glorification), where do we put "faith."? I mentioned that question in that posting. To my knowledge only the Hardshells want to completely exclude faith from the salvation process. I find this absolutely stunning. Bible students who first encounter this Hardshell denial of the place of faith in the salvation process are flabbergasted that anyone who professes to believe the bible could believe such a thing. The Hardshells believe that billions of people will be saved in heaven who did not have faith in the one true God or in the Lord Jesus Christ. Such people, though unbelievers, have been foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified. What a heterodox idea! So foreign to the scriptures. It makes one question the sanity of Hardshells who can believe in such an idea when it is so foreign to the historic view of the Christian community. Do you see how dangerous it is to the salvation of sinners to tell them that they can go to heaven without faith? That is why hardshellism is an evil disease, an infection.
