One has to be wrong GH.
And, as I've said before....this shouldn't be a point of contention IF we're living for God and following His commandments as best we can.
The problem is that many misuse the scriptures that seem to point to the fact that salvation is eternal and cannot be lost.
Using scripture is valid.
What did Jesus mean in Luke 15:24?
Jesus said that the son was dead and had come to life AGAIN.
Which means that the son:
HAD LIFE (saved)
BECAME DEAD (lost)
CAME TO LIFE AGAIN (saved)
I agree that scripture must be reconciled and it usually is.
But how does on reconcile unconditional security vs conditional security?

You know this is true. There is an answer, and quoting supposed contradicting scriptures, is not where the effort should be used. Both sides are quoting true and valid scriptures....and since this has been going on for nearly 2000 years, you can bet that neither side will prevail here. Wrong thinking. Someone should have noticed this!
