Ok, Backlit, listen up! LOL. I agree 100% I doubt if you can lose your salvation.
The problem....kindly....is that you are not considering the fact that saved Christians will stand before Christ on Judgment Day.
I have explained this several times...
The Calvinists think that Judgment Day occurred before creation...judged to heaven or hell then.
The OSAS crowd thinks that Judgement Day is the day you are saved...and being saved means you go to heaven no matter what you do. The saved card is the license to sin. You know that on Judgment Day that every word spoken and every deed will be judged by Christ. And it will be a surprise to some that they end up in hell. Christ will not just be a crossing guard for all the Christians marching to heaven.
Go look up the scriptures for what will be judged on Judgment Day.
Or find a scripture that says Christians will not be judged and instead just march into heaven. You find that, let me know.
The day of salvation is not Judgment Day.
To you Backlit, a real Christian, I say, be good and do good so you and I can high five at the banquet table in heaven.
God promised me that if I would Turn to Him ( the only type of Repentance that plays a part in Salvation) and put my Trust in His Son, Jesus to Save me.......He would “Save me to the UTTERMOST”....... that’s why I don’t worry about any of this stuff....I actually BELIEVE ,and more importantly, REST in the Truth of Paul’ s Gospel , Given to Him by Jesus......that part that says “ Jesus died for my sins” ......
Faith is Trusting That God will keep His Word.....I have done “ my “ part —— I “ Turned to Him”....orcin other words, I Repented...... Now it is up to God to do “ HIS” part, which is to “ Save me to the UTTERMOST .....Maybe I am a Fool, but I think God will do what He said.....the “ monkey is on HIS back” to Save me forever —— to put it rather crudely....
I am the True “ Chief Of Sinners” ( step aside, Paul! )my Performance really sucks......I am “ VERY” Unreligious, and I make it a Point to be that way .....Religion is the opposite of Christianity......Religion says “ DO” , while Christianity says “ DONE”.....
My Theology comes from two songs —- “ Nothing But The Blood” and “ Nothing of myself I bring, its only to the Cross I cling”.......
Like I said, the Onus for Salvation is on God’s Shoulders now......I Trust Him to pull through....without a doubt.I am Saved .Two things and two things ONLY did it.....#1 The Shed Blood Of Jesus Christ. #2 My Faith in #1
All these “ conditions” and “qualifications” and “ demands” that you guys attach to Salvation? ( it’s supposed to be a GIFT, remember? NOT a Trade) Anything That God Demands , God provides.....
We have to persevere , but who is it that perseveres? “It is He That Believes That Jesus is the Son Of God” .....I ain’t got much going for me, but I got “THAT”—-and “THAT” is Enough. How about you? God bless.....
