The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is, quite simply, the doctrine of salvation by grace. If we are saved by God's grace alone, and not by our works, then we must acknowledge the permanence of His work. If we deny eternal security, then we are, in fact, embracing a system of works-salvation. That is the true difference. Paul taught that it is by grace that we have been saved (Ephesians 2:5). The language is rich in this passage, for it emphasizes the continuing truth of our full salvation by grace, both as a completed past action, and a continuing reality in our life. Salvation by grace leads to the perseverance of the saints, for God's sovereign grace cannot possibly fail to do what He desires. The Sovereign Grace of God: A Biblical Study of the Doctrines of Calvinism by James R. White
"The absolute, universal, and unlimited sovereignty of God requires, that we should adore him with all possible humility and reverence. It is impossible that we should go to excess in lowliness and reverence of that Being who may dispose of us to all eternity, as he pleases." Jonathan Edwards
There needs to be a thorough public investigation. Why was a roof within 150 meters of the stage not included in the security perimeter? It seems to me that there only 2 possibilities, either something nefarious or gross incompetence. Moreover, any investigation needs to be absolutely transparent and the report needs to make rational sense. We don't need something that has the appearance of a Warren Commission style coverup or any crazy Arlen Specter style magic bullet theories.
