    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    I previously cited Ephesians 2:10 and clearly stated that we are saved FOR good works. Not to be confused with saved BY good works. Christians are not under the law but are under grace. The Holy Spirit gives us understanding. (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) Necessary for what? To earn salvation? NO...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Not genuine Christians, but "nominal" or pseudo-Christians believe it. So, you believe that when Paul mentions works, he is only talking about specific works of the law and never works in general? (Romans 4:2-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Did Paul say we are saved by good...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Even though this shallow ground hearer in Luke 8:13 is said to have "believed," yet he is never said to have been "saved." How do we know that the shallow ground hearer was never actually "saved"? I will explain the reasons. First, his heart condition is contrasted with that of the "good...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    IF is a confirmation. The word "IF" here is a confirmation, having here the idea of "assuming that you continue in the faith." That is, continuance would show that the person's faith was firmly rooted and established in the hope of the gospel to begin with, and they really have been reconciled...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Amen! James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise, grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, work is no longer work. When did I say that? Saved by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) You can't have it both ways. Who...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Here are some verses for you. John 6:39 - 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...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    As you can see it's not all about US. 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. Proverbs 24:16 For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, But the wicked shall fall...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Prior to my conversion several years ago while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I had absolutely no assurance of salvation and was miserable! Fear and bondage to IN-security is no way to live the Christian life. Our assurance is found ONLY in Jesus Christ. (1 John 5:11-13)

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

    What is the basis for the unbeliever's condemnation?

    Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not...
