Open Letter to the Church of Wells to Repent

Dear Jacob Gardner, Shaun Morris and Ryan Ringnald,

This is a public call for you to repent of your slanderous accusation that Samuel Corneloup & I mis-represented your teachings. In your article titled “CHAPTER 1: "if we sin wilfully" - Heb. 10:26” you made certain false accusations against Samuel Corneloup and I. You stated the following;

Based upon the uncharitable and slanderous video the Corneloups made, it appears that we (The Church of Wells) believe that a personal state of justification is something that can be gained and lost in a matter of minutes (back and forth), something very easily and flippantly accomplished

The audio recording was unchanged (other than the obvious) and you were in no way mis-represented. Listen to the words which come directly from your own mouths. All of all three of you were present in the conversation. Everyone can listen to the video below and get these specific statements at the 10 minute mark, 24 – 33 minute mark and the 48:25 minute mark.

I (Caleb Corneloup) have been accused of mis-representing the teachings of the church of Wells but a careful examination of the recorded conversation reveals their beliefs to be as follows;

1.    When a person commits any known sin of commission or omission they enter into a damnable state.

2.    Most of the time a Christian reflexively repents and comes out of that state.

3.    If a Christian does not reflexively repent they remain in a damnable state.

4.    Christians in a damnable state are not forgiven of their sins and Christ does not administer His blood on their behalf.

5.    Those in a damnable state are still Christians and are children of God and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who strives against their flesh to bring them to repentance.

6.    If a Christian dies in a damnable state they go to hell.

Please confess your sins and admit that we specifically came to you and asked you your beliefs and you gave us answers. You make it clear that your definition of “wilful sin” was any sin knowingly committed. Stop running from the truth and stop attacking true saints of God for simply publishing the recording.

Kind Regards

Caleb Corneloup
