Once saved, always saved is a myth.
1.) Within Christianity, there is Truth, and there is what isn't.
Both exist in Christianity as Light and Darkness.
Regarding church doctrine and The Gospel, there is what Paul teaches and then there is everything else.
So, in both cases, the "other stuff", that is not the Truth, comes from the Father of Lies.
Reader,
God created Christianity, and Satan created everything else that tries to copy it or tries to ruin it, which is the same work.
The simple fact is.... the devil wants to lead everyone to hell... and he cant do that to a born again believer who is "one with God" already.... born again.
So what does Satan try to do to the born again?
He goes back to "garden of eden" tactics, where he originally ruined the family of God.
How does He do it today?
He twists God's words and teaches them as deception, as before.. And by doing that = within Christianity, (often using deceived Christians).... most end up with broken faith, and become quite self righteous.
See, Satan can't keep you out of heaven if you are born again, but, he can ruin your relationship with God down here... simply by getting you into wrong belief.
This worst of this, is to no longer believe that Jesus keeps you saved, and then you try to do it.
Thats Legalism on Steroids. Thats penultimate Self Righteousness.
Because = that broken faith denies the Cross, rejects Gods Grace, and certifies you as a deceived believer, or what i call a : self saver.
2.) When did Satan bring wrong theology and wrong understanding into the Church, so that many end up with broken faith.?
= OSAS, is the "modern version" nomenclature of this situation that you are asking about.
@MatthewG
It actually originated as a "religious Jews" personal attack against the Apostle Paul's Teaching , regarding "The Gospel of the Grace of God".
These Legalistic Jews, who are still in Israel, who still reject their messiah till this very day..., originally rejected Paul's teaching on the GRACE of God about 2000 yrs ago.
And its still being rejected by Religious Legalists, by Cult members, and on "christian" Forums and from "christian" pulpits, as millions are taught how to reject God's Grace by their Church or Temple... and by their Pope or by their Minister, Pastor, Bishop, or similar "head" of their local assembly.
On Some Forums the Mods themselves will try to lead you out of God's Grace and into Legalism. Into their Gospel of Works and self effort.
They'll cover up the Cross with Law and Commandment keeping. And water Baptism, and "confessing sin".
2000 yrs ago, the Religious Jews, led of the devil.... heard Paul's teaching and said.....>"you are teaching that we are to sin, so that Grace will come".
Today this is known as "osas" and "License to sin"...
Reader.... Paul told them..... = "Jesus is not only your Messiah, He is also your Eternal Sin Bearer, because Christ The Lord is the God sent Son whom God made to be all your Sin"".
And they lost their religious minds and still do till this very day, because they want to Keep Law and Commandments, instead of allowing Their Messiah to make them acceptable to God, based on HIS Cross.
And that is the only WAY to heaven. John 14:6
Reader... = God accepts only what HE PROVIDED as our Salvation, to save us and keep us saved.
A.) THE Cross of Christ
Religious people, believe otherwise. And they will tell you...>"if you believe that God does it all, and supplied it all and its The GIFT of Salvation, then you are teaching OSAS, and License to Sin".
And when that is taught, .. JUDE explains that this is a literal subversion of the True Gospel. Because real faith is being bastardized and besmurched and FLIPED upside down, like this... = "If you believe the Gospel and teach it as God's Gift of Salvation, you are teaching licentiousness".
You are teaching that Grace is LICENSE TO SIN.
3.) See what the Devil has done?
He causes believers to stop believing that Christ is their All and All Salvation, by casting the idea upon it as.... to believe THAT, is to "believe that you have license to sin"...thus the Correct understanding of God's Grace is twisted into.. "license to sin".
So, by denying that Jesus is our Salvation.....beginning to end... Satan and his MINISTERS.... then subvert it further by teaching that to believe God's Grace as The finished work of Christ on the Cross, Which is Paul's Gospel.... If you believe it and teach it ......then you are teaching that one you have this Eternal Salvation, and you can never lose it.
The end result is, that once you are mind trapped by these people, then you will believe you can lose your Salvation.
And once you believe that, its because you do not trust in CHRIST anymore, and that is what you are doing this and keeping that, and confessing those, as that is how you are trying to STAY SAVED, ..when in fact....= only JESUS SAVES.
See the issue?
See what they've done to you, if im talking to you?
That's the DEVIL's work and it has you under its spell.
So, the "OSAS" concept which is the modern religious "bumper sticker"... is actually a 2000 yr old attack against The Cross of Christ which is a total rejection of "The Gospel of the Grace of God".
Its the Devil's REBRANDING and SUBVERTING of God's Grace as : "license to sin" and "osas".
Satan's ministers get people caught up in this by using their self righteousness against them, and once they become blinded this way, they can't hear anymore = anything that has to do with GRACE and the FREE Gift of Salvaiton, as to them, all that stuff is "license to sin". and "osas".
See that Reader? That is a developed "STRONGHOLD" in the mind.
Jude teaches about this also.. and said that these hyper religious came into the local assemblies, and harmed them by teaching that if you believe that the Cross is God's redemption, that forgives ALL your sin, then you are teaching that you can go and enjoy your sin.
= So that is a denial that Jesus is the one time "eternal sacrifice for your sin". In other words its to completely not understand what Christ has done for you through His BLOOD, DEATH, and Resurrection.
Today we hear this out of the mouth's of religious lawkeepers and those who are "commandment obsessed" and even those who teach "enduring to the end".
You will find that these people on forums will obsessively talk about law and sin and confessing sin. They will talk about water baptism as Salvation, also.
4.) So, what these people do to you, is they try to make you SEE God's Grace as "freedom to sin" and once they have your mind, you wont be able to trust in Christ to get you into heaven, and you'll believe that you have to do things to keeps yourself saved.
And when you become that one, then your faith is broken, and the Devil has your mind, regarding your belief system.
You wont understand The Cross, and if you are born again, your entire Christianity becomes a BONDAGE to..."what you must DO".. "how you must perform".. and '"what you need to KEEP"<... So that by all your self effort... You will try to offer this self righteousness to God and HOPE that He'll take it and save you., and keep you saved.
See that? That is the Devil's #1 priority in your life, other than killing you and your family. He wants your faith completely ruined so that he can then use you like a hand puppet to teach this same demonic theology that is "license to sin" and "osas".
5.) Reader,
The Cross of Christ is a complete DENIAL that GOD Almighty will accept any self righteousness, or works, or water baptism, to forgive us, or keep us.
And a deceived believer says...
""""well, im confessing my sin again and again and again, because i dont understand that one verse in John, and so, what i believe is that if keep doing that, God will keep forgiving me, but if i dont then...... HELL AWAITS".
Some even do it because they believe..>"well, when i sin, i lost my salvation, and once i confess, i get it back"..
Today, Herbert was lost and saved 135 times, (135 porn downloads he had to confess).... according to his sin vs confession ratio.
Reader .. Broken Salvation is also this... =
"sin, confess, and repeat".... because some devil led heretic on a forum or in a pulpit, who probably isn't even born again, told me that this is what i can EXPECT and must DO... to stay saved.
So, the people who yell about "OSAS", are the very people who do not understand that = "God hath made Jesus to be SIN FOR US".
And they do not understand...>>"Jesus is the ONE.. TIME.. = ETERAL.. sacrifice for Sin"..
So, what they do, is try to keep law commandments and they often falsely believe that water washed away their sin, and some of them are confessing sin to try to stay saved or to be re-saved and re-forgiven"... and others are trying to do "works of righteousness" to try to be saved and stay saved.
Reader are you "enduring to the end" to try to keep yourself saved?
Trust in Christ, instead....
Now....See all that, that they BELIEVE in, = that they BELIEVE God will accept to accept them and keep them? And All of them obsess about OSAS and confessing sin..
Spot them, recognize them, and do not listen to what they teach, as they are dark lights.
Luke 11:35
And if you listen, you will notice what is not a part of their trying to be saved or stay saved, theology.
What is missing?
A.) The CROSS of Christ.
Its missing from their "how to stay saved" theology.... and it's missing because they are not saved, or they are "fallen from Grace' and so very deceived that they can't even talk about the Cross as God has provided it, as their Salvation.
They can only deny it as.... "license to sin" and "OSAS".
