    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I agree. Even the OSAS lite version (which is not the Hyper Grace Version) is still wrong. The OSAS lite folk will say they are not like the Hyper Grace camp, and they believe that they will not practice sin but when push comes to shove, if you confront them with 1 John 1:8, they then start to...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Try reading 2 Thessalonians 2:13 sometime. It says God has chosen you to salvation through Sanctification of the Spirit and a belief of the truth. Verse 14 says this is a call of the gospel.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    When you read Philippians 2:13 you cannot ignore Philippians 2:12 that says for you to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. So you are ignoring parts of the Bible to make Calvinism work.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Chapter and verse. You need to prove this with the Bible. I have already provided verses that demolish this Calvinist line of thinking, as well.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Paul also says work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Paul also says for us to fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12). Jesus says strive to enter the straight gate (Luke 13:24). So it’s not a walk in the park. God who has begun a...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Which has to be read in balance to other verses in the Bible. We are also told: “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” (Hebrews 3:13-14). "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    What you know is OSAS and that is not in agreement with what the Bible says (as I have already demonstrated). Let the Judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ show forth what has been said. I am confident that on this point, I am not wrong. But time of course will ultimately reveal all things...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Romans 8:38-39 is in context to those who love God (Romans 8:28). Jesus says if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). Jesus says if you keep His commandments you will abide in His love (John 15:10). In addition, Romans 8:38-39 does not mention “you” or “your sin” in this passage...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Either you are not reading Genesis 3 or you have distorted it beyond recognition to defend your sin and still be saved belief in OSAS. The sin of the fall of mankind did not go into effect until Adam disobeyed. But that does not mean Eve did not sin and did not later die spiritually. It was...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I believe the opposite is true because the moment a person says they are Once Saved Always Saved, then no sin technically can keep them from God, and therefore they will turn God’s grace into a license for immorality (Which the Bible warns against - Jude 1:4). While faith starts off as a...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    No offense, but it does not sound like you even know what happened in the Garden of Eden according to the Bible. Eve was deceived by Satan into thinking she and Adam could break God’s command (Which is a sin), and yet they would not die as God said. This is what OSAS falsely teaches. It...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Charles Stanley is one of the worst Hyper Grace teachers out there. Charles Stanley said: “"And so, sometimes out of ignorance or whatever it might be, they attempt to gratify and meet those needs the same way they did before they were saved, and therefore, you can't tell a carnal believer...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Actually John 5:24 is teaching how you need both God’s grace, and holy living as a part of salvation. According to my current knowledge of God’s Word: God revealed to me that there are 3 verses that teach that we are saved by both God’s grace through faith, and Sanctification (Note: The red...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    In OSAS, there are different degrees of justifying sin. There is the Hyper Grace crowd. However, I really don’t see much difference between what the Hyper Grace camp believes vs. the other camp who holds to the lighter version of OSAS who say you cannot practice sin in order to be saved. For...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    If a person just tells a child that they are saved by believing in the finished work of the cross or in the blood of Jesus to be saved alone and it is nothing that they do and you never see them again, they could potentially grow up to think they can live an excessively sinful lifestyle while...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Promises come with conditions. For example: Most in your camp love to quote John 10:28, but they fail to look at the condition of that promise in verse 27 in that the kind of sheep that applies to this promise are the sheep that FOLLOW Jesus. Seeing, God is not putting a gun to your head or...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    It’s not my first rodeo discussing this topic. I am only giving you my honest assessment of what I believe is true. If you disagree, that’s of course your choice, but I have confidence in being able to stand before the Lord Jesus at the Judgment by what I said because it is backed by...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Many Born Again and Evangelical members believe that in order to be saved, the only thing which we should do is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior by faith. And once you accepted Him through faith, you have now an assured salvation in heaven. No need of good works or following...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Yes. Peter temporarily lost his salvation by denying Jesus, but he was able to restore it through confessing these sins to the Lord. Before Peter denied the Lord, he was saved. For he was called a sheep. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying .... go rather to the lost...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Here is a testimony of a woman named Catherine involving OSAS: Hypocritical Christianity Was All I Knew Catherine I grew up in an once saved always saved (OSAS) home. Lukewarm, worldly, hypocritical Christianity was all I knew. When I wanted more of "real Christianity," my Mom called me...
