Kelurahan Barong Tongko merupakan salah satu tempat yang berada di Kabupaten Kutai Barat, Kalimantan Timur. Kelurahan ini walaupun dikatakan sudah maju, namun masih banyak masyarakat yang tidak mau datang beribadah di gereja dan tidak mau ikut kegiatan-kegiatan rohani lainnya. Oleh sebab itu penulis bersyukur dengan adanya pelayanan  pengabdian kepada masyarakat, penulis bisa melayani mereka secara jasmani dan rohani, yang bedasarkan kasih Kristus. Penulis bersyukur juga karena masyarakat di kelurahan Barong Tongko mau dibimbing dan mau dilayani untuk mendekatkan diri mereka kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus.

Artikel ini membahas tentang pandangan teologis predestinasi yang ditinjau dalam teologi Perjanjian Baru. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif, disertai studi literatur sebagai alat penggumpulan datanya akan disajikan analisis yang komprehensif.

Begitu juga dengan pernyataan “sekali selamat tetap selamat”, merupakan ajaran yang tidak Alkitabiah.
