    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Jesus said it is written many times to show that He was referring to Scripture. Jesus is said to be our example. The Bible is our guide for all matters of faith and practice. If you are not providing actual verse number references, then you are not helping others to see your position on the...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    It’s simple. God would have to agree with your sin in order for you to think you can abide in any kind of sin with the thinking you are saved. OSAS is saying that you don’t lose salvation even if you sin. That sounds like the devil in the garden of Eden when he convinced Eve to sin (or break...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I believe the Substitutionary Atonement, but it only applies if we abide by the terms of the contract. For example: While it is true that Christ is the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood (Romans 3:25), it is also equally true that if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Uh, no. That’s actually Jesus. Matthew 23:11 “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” So you think that the bride of Christ is not in reference to both male and female believers in Jesus Christ? If so, prove your case with the Bible. Sure it does. 2 Timothy 4:2...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    This is a generalized explanation that really does not explain each individual verse in context. As for the carcasses: It is the world that the saints will devour. The marriage supper of the Lamb is not in Heaven, but it is a battle or a war against this world when Christ comes down and...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Losers would be those who don’t obey God. Jesus obeyed God and His death on the cross was not in anyway losing. It might have been seen that way from the world’s perspective, but that is not what was really happening. Okay. Let me see if I got this straight. Your saying that the carcasses...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Right, like Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Galatians 5:19-21, and Revelation 21:8. Is that what you had in mind? But that is what OSAS does. It says you can sin and still be saved on some level. You don’t lose salvation when you sin. So how you live is not important to entering the...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    When we look at the word “mystery” referred to in the New Testament, none of those verse references is dealing with OSAS because OSAS does not exist. There are a good number of verses by the apostle Paul when he refers to the word mystery. So the burden of proof is on you to bring up which...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    You are saying that OSAS is against one’s conscience and logic? So God wants you to turn off your moral compass and your brain to believe in OSAS? The Lord our God is a God of order and not chaos. For the Scriptures say that God is not the author of confusion. Joseph’s brothers selling him...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I do usually catch a lot of references in Scripture. But when your thoughts are mingled in there, it’s kind of hard to decipher the Word vs. your own thoughts. That’s why I desired for you to help a brother out and give verse citations. That way we can discuss what the verse is saying vs. you...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    But I didn’t do that. I agree that it’s talking about the wicked or the weeds. They are gathered out of HIS KINGDOM (Christ’s Kingdom) as the Scriptures say in a nominal sense by the fact that they may profess Christ and do things for Him, but yet their heart is far from Him.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I could Google them, but it’s more loving and beneficial for you to give verse references. It would be helpful. Help a brother out. Are not believers here to serve? Or are believers to be card holders of the truth that maybe the lower dogs might get some scraps if they are lucky?

    Actually were told to preach the Word. All Scripture is profitable for doctrine, correction, and instruction in righteousness. So why are you not doing so? The ball is back in your court, my mystery friend.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    To justify sin? That’s what OSAS teaches. OSAS teaches that you don’t lose salvation by your sin. Hence, you can sin and still be saved. There are different degrees of OSAS. Some justify small amounts of sin, and others justify a lot. So unless you are proposing Sinless Perfection or...

    So you cannot back up what your saying? Then how do you know it is true?

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I caught the live is Christ to die is gain reference in God’s Word but it was taken out of context to the rest of what you said. Please provide all verse references to back up what you are saying. Don’t do it to help me, do it to help another. For are you here to hold all the cards and not...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Also, I would rather be overly cautious with my soul and not cavalier with it thinking God will protect me if I sin. Matthew 5:28-30 does not sound like Once Saved Always Saved. Neither does Galatians 5:19-21 sound like OSAS. If these verses were talking only to unbelievers, then why didn’t...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Unless you believe OSAS is a life of sinless perfection, or in overcoming sin that leads unto death, it is a form of justifying sin. Most I talk with do not believe this though. They think that 1 John 1:8 is a justification that they will always sin this side of heaven when the Bible does not...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    More Scripture and less opinion. I really do not get into fanciful thoughts that is not based on what the Bible says.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Right, I am not disagreeing that they are wicked (weeds) or they don’t really know Christ. They are false believers among the genuine believers. They profess to know Jesus, and they may even preach the gospel, help the poor, etcetera, but yet if they do iniquity, they will be shown to be false...
