2006, Daniel Whyte III, When Black Preachers Preach, volume 2, page 1232 more examples
The conviction that man exists in the modality of lostness, so that he must undergo a metamorphosis in order to be found in the modality of savedness, is something that is derived from special revelation.
1970, Leonard Verduin, Somewhat less than God: the Biblical view of manOur savedness is not our privilege but our responsibility. To reduce the scope of the saving work of God, to say that Christ died "to save me," is to say far too little, and thus to distort the gospel.
1985, Darrell L. Guder, Be my witnesses: the church's mission, message, and messengers, page 11
