    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Show me the words "saved by works" in scripture. We are saved by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Hence, faith (rightly understood) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. God imputes righteousness apart from works. (Romans 4:6) Check mate.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Paul is talking about believing the gospel and not producing works after one believes the gospel and becomes saved. We are not saved by works (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) and there is nothing excellent about works-righteousness which renders Christ an insufficient Savior. Belief in the gospel...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Please show me the words, "lost salvation" in scripture. In regard to the prodigal son. CONTEXT - All three parables in Luke 15 were in rebuke to the Pharisees and scribes who complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them." (vs. 2) People in the NOSAS camp will try to use the...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    To believe in vain is to believe without cause or without effect, to no purpose. If, as some are saying in Corinth, there is no resurrection, then faith is vain and worthless (vs. 14). The people who fail to hold fast to the word (the gospel) that Paul preached in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Amen! I don't promote a license for immorality, like these ungodly men who have crept in unnoticed in Jude 4. 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...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Descriptive of believers and unbelievers. The good deeds of the redeemed (those who have done good - John 5:28-29) are not the basis or means by which they obtained salvation but is the evidence of it. A person's conduct, whether good or evil, reveals the condition of his heart. *Notice that...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    In many cases (but not all cases) salvation obtained and/or maintained by works. ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works and strongly oppose OSAS teach works-righteousness. Now there are Christians in the NOSAS camp who do not hold to that extreme heretical view and would...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Faith includes believing, assurance, reliance upon Christ for salvation. http://biblehub.com/greek/4102.htm The demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God" but they do not believe in/have faith in/assurance in/reliance upon Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe...

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    Believers do not miss the point here in James 2:24 but works-salvationists do. You need to interpret this verse in context. James is talking about an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains "alone" barren of works. (James 2:14) That is not genuine faith but a bare profession of faith...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Hebrews 3:14 - For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end. Notice that this is essentially a repeat of verse 6, where we read: but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house - whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    In 1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul is talking about being disqualified for the prize (NIV) and not disqualified for the gift of eternal life. In context, Paul has been discussing preaching the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16 - For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe...
