What theological doctrine is possibly brought into question by 1 Thessalonians?

AThe Trinity.
BThe sufficiency of infant baptism.
CPerseverance of the Saints.✓ Correct Answer
DMillenialism.

Answer & Explanation

Perseverance of the Saints.

If one interprets the first chapter as stating that some of the Thessalonians had been reborn in Christ, and indwelled by the Holy Spirit, Paul's concern that they might be enticed away by Satan would argue contrary to the idea of irrevocable salvation, or "perseverance of the saints.". (See Acts 9-28, Romans-Philemon)
