    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    You have to read the Bible in context. In Deuteronomy we read something similar. Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:16-17 16 And the...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Pop quiz: If a believer generally lived a holy life and yet he one day looked upon a woman in lust, and he got hit by a bus and died immediately is he saved? I don't believe he is saved because he did not have a chance to confess of his sin to be forgiven of it (i.e. 1 John 1:9). If you are...

    Romans 8:33 is in context to believers who love God (Romans 8:28). To love God is to keep His commandments according to Jesus (John 14:15). If a charge is being laid against the Elect it is a past sin that is forgiven and not one that they are currently committing or a wrong mindset that says...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    To all: The difference between the OSAS Christian and the Bible believing Christian is that the true man of God will not justify sin, but he will seek to battle, and fight to overcome the kind of sin that leads to spiritual death in this life. The OSAS Christian treats sin like a fluffy kitten...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Justifying sin (Which is what OSAS does) and twisting or ignoring Scripture to fit OSAS have been major red flags for me. For example: Many OSAS Proponents (who are not Hyper-Grace OSAS) seem to think that a little bit of sin is okay vs. doing a lot of sin. But it only took one sin by Adam for...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Yes, I agree. That’s a good one indeed. Here are some of my favorites. We are 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...

    To all: When encountered with the many verses that refute OSAS, the OSAS Proponent will throw aside these many verses as referring to unbelievers and not believers (out of context) in order to protect their preferred pet doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved. Here is a good article for any truth...

    While I do not agree with Dan, I believe he is getting this line of thinking from James 2:18 that says, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” (James 2:18). Some “Perpetual Belief Alone...

    Thank you for the verse. It's beautiful indeed. Praise be unto the Lord.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Well, I am not striving against the Law, friend. A brief one quick rebuttal is not striving or endlessly arguing against their position on keeping the Old Law (or the 613 Laws of Moses). Striving means this: Strive or striving means to make great efforts. It means to struggle or fight...

    To make your point for Matthew 25 in the “Parable of the Talents”: You pointed to the Israelites who were led out of Egypt (as a whole) in how they were called servants (Leviticus 25:55) and yet you conclude by this that they were never saved because they fell in the wilderness. I don't believe...

    It is nice that we can agree on some things. Thank you for being nice. Blessings be unto you the Lord.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Uh, no you haven’t. You have not even offered any verses to me that even sound like OSAS. Others here have offered verses that actually sound like OSAS but when we compare it to the context or other verses in the Bible, they are obviously taking them out of context to the chapter or the rest...

    So you are saying that if you do sin… like say lying or looking upon another in lust that you are not saved?

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Your missing one of the major points of the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, friend. One major point was to show that one needs to be fruitful (have works) to be saved (Which is obviously only after one is intiially saved by God’s grace without works - Ephesians 2:8-9). You may call my...

    Nowhere did I say that works is for initial salvation of which you imply by your words, I quote: “…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 accounted as righteous with God.” Quote by: mailmandan. I believe there are...
