Good question.
Only those who practice OSAS by continuing in works of the flesh, and have no regard for repenting, because they are saved anyway.
That is called presumptuous sinning in the face of the Lord:
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Not every OSAS believer is practicing it to the letter, but every OSAS teacher will be held accountable for it:
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
You people speak evil of being justified by works, and not all that believe it will actually do it as taught, but many will practice it and be defiled by it, which is what Paul is speaking of in I Cor 3, where ministry can be so bad as to work to destroy the believers, rather than help them:
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
OSAS teaching defiles the minds of the simple into defiling themselves with sinning against God presumptively, even if those teachers themselves don't actually practice it.
Your teaching of salvation and justification by faith alone, without ever having anything to do with how we live pertaining to being eternally saved, is the very definition of license to sin, no matter how many kings horses and men you trot out to deny it.
It's garbage, and you may only push it doctrinally without actually living it, but you'll answer for everyone who hears you and does.
A simple YES or NO to my questions in post #53 would have been sufficient. You have a very harsh and unfair view of OSAS. I certainly do not teach a license to sin and I can't think of one OSAS believer that I know who does either. You obviously view OSAS believers as false prophets and false teachers who will be condemned. The more I hear false teachers/works-salvationists and people who I believe may very well be mentally ill relentlessly attack OSAS on various Christian forum sites, the more I'm convinced it's the correct doctrine. I have noticed ALL false religions and cults that teach salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS, which has always been a major
red flag for me! I'm yet to find just one Bible verse that unequivocally says a really "saved" person really "lost their salvation." Instead, I find OSAS/preservation of the saints.
Psalm 37:28 - For the Lord loves justice, And
does not forsake His saints; They are
preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
Matthew 10:26 - But
you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and
no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.
John 6:37 -
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of Him who sent Me, that
of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and
believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day
Romans 8:30 - Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified;
and whom He justified, these He also glorified. *ALL of them. *Notice how Paul uses the past tense for a future event to stress it's certainty.
Romans 8:38 - For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 1:13 - In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having
believed, you were
sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the
guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 4:30 - And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were
sealed for the day of redemption.
1 Peter 1:5 - who are
kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 John 2:19 - They
went out from us, but they
were not of us; for
if they had been of us, they
would have continued with us; but they
went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
Jude 1:1 - Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are
called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ.
If you insist on remaining on that roller coaster ride of fear and bondage to IN-security, be my quest, but count me out! I got off that roller coaster ride upon my conversion several years ago after leaving the Roman Catholic church and never once looked back. Good riddance!
