    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    “…my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    You haven’t proved me wrong with scripture. How does making a passing comment without citing any biblical references help your argument?

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    When you’re in the Spirit you preserve your salvation. But if we turn away from the Spirit and go back into the flesh you will be in a lost state from which the holy scriptures warn you cannot come back from! Or you can be saved by fire being delivered into Satan’s hand! “To deliver such a...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    I did not “earn” my forgiveness of sins. But I do earn the prize of the high calling of God for not making a clown out of Christ and trampling Him under my feet by returning to sin again (Philippians 3:14; Hebrews 10:29). “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Those are lost. I’m not discussing those who have nothing to lose to begin with. I’m talking about those who believed the gospel and became holy by the blood of Christ. If these fall away: “…there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    I merely repeat what the Holy Bible says: “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12)

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    To end the suffering in the flesh that an evil world inflicts daily on holy men of God who strive to remain pure. And how many men will suffer to the point of bloodshed suffering wrongfully? “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” (Hebrews 12:4)

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    This is so unbiblical it’s crazy! Just about every book in the New Testament admonishes us to stay holy once cleaned by the blood of Christ.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    This teaching is not found in the Holy Bible. Otherwise please cite it if I am mistaken. Sure sounds like he did imply it: “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.”...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Absolutely! Have you never read this: “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) That’s called scriptural teaching!

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    I’m not promoting this. Are you even paying attention to my posts?
  12. Michiah-Imla

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That’s how salvation starts. You highlight this scripture: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) And that’s the beginning of salvation. But you stay saved IF: “…ye continue in...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    I am not telling anyone to do that. What I am saying is that you must put the flesh to death like the scriptures say because it is impossible to be perfect in the flesh (Romans 8:13; Colossians 3:5).
  14. Michiah-Imla

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Yet another misuse of scripture. The Galatians were turning back to circumcision and observances of times, months, and years. I’m not telling anyone that they need to do any of those ritualistic things to be saved.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    You cite a scripture that applies to unbelievers to a believer? I trust the scriptures (Psalm 119:42). They tell me that the obedient servant will be saved (Romans 1:5; 16:26). Believers who carry their cross (Luke 9:23) and choose to suffer in the flesh than to enjoy the pleasures of sin...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    On the contrary: If you think that you don’t have to earn it after freely receiving it, you have ignored the full counsel of God and turned aside to the counsel of men. And as usual you attach no scripture texts to your assertions.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Those who endure to the end (Matthew 24:13) resisting the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11) and his own self’s fleshly desires (Ephesians 2:3) will be counted saved in the end my friend.

    You are not being sober at the moment my friend. This is serious business!

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    But I bet those he’s debating with trust the words of so called “study” books over what the holy scriptures say. It’s a common problem in Christianity today…

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Your statement flies in the face of what the Holy Bible says: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are...
