    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Bro People who work for God and allow him to use them for his purposes are building up spiritual rewards in heaven… I don’t say people must work in order to be saved. But a dead faith, is a work that is not being shown to Gods glory, There is only one work there is “to believe in the Son of...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Some say that you work in order to be saved. But you are really working towards spiritual rewards as one allows God to work in and through them through their life. Jesus said “store your treasures in heaven not on earth.”

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    My own answer would be I own myself. Without God in the picture and being a slave towards him. I’m a slave to my “self” by the flesh. Meaning my own soul, (mind/will/emotions) and life have been my own responsibility to take care of: whether it’s for myself or towards God if he is there in one’s...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    @marks, God gave people over to their own desires. ”Instead of honoring the divine greatness of God, who lives forever, they traded it for the worship of idols—things made to look like humans, who get sick and die, or like birds, animals, and snakes. People wanted only to do evil. So God left...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    God let Adam and Eve choose. There are people out there that say God chose them and there is nothing they could do about it… while they may be humble in that state sometimes they can also come off as very cold. I’m not the judge of anyone’s heart. However a heart which you own, you by merit make...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That’s it. You know I use to really be against the whole idea of sanctification but finally understand it’s done in a daily basis of abiding in Christ to now not desire to go and not pay attention or give no attention to God. Believers receive deliverance from the “old man” becoming a “new...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    The best thing to know is that God loves people. And we should have love and compassion for the lost, and those who are in misunderstanding. If we continue to be rooted in the gospel, and share the joy found in having fellowship with the Father and the Son.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    I’m not nobody’s judge. People make a decision and choice. Jesus proclaimed it, to his apostles in the parable of the sower. It’s just a fact that people can choose to renounce their faith if they choose to. Sometimes it’s the pressures of the world.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    No it’s not. It’s just doing what Jesus said to do. Pick up your cross and die daily. Putting God first and allowing the Spirit to work through you. I do no good in my flesh. Only God indwelling by the Holy Spirit within me, does good. This is called giving him the credit of anything done...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Why would you? @Eternally Grateful, asked. Choice.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    May you continue to pick up your cross daily. One can be secured in their relationship with Yahavah, there is no doubt in my mind. However one never knows what the end of life may look like, and perhaps why it is better to hang on to the hand of Yeshua, daily to overcome the world by faith. I...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Hope to hear the rest of your responses, @mailmandan. It’s impossible for me to believe in once saved always saved. Jesus said pick up one’s cross daily… that means day by day, in one’s heart you pick up the cross and rise to new life in the Lord Yeshua.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    And those who did and gave it up? Can they get to come back? Does it even matter to you because you already settled in your faith? That it’s kind of like, who cares?

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Well what’s the scripture say about faith without works is dead. ?? If a person favors a rich person over a poor person, how are they having faith which their in the works of “love” show favoritism?

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    you can quote scripture all you want I’m just trying to find and answer by you through the spirit. The scripture is sharp and cuts, I don’t know why you even afforded this statement. God can hardern the heart of a person, by his goodness. God was destroying everything around Pharoh, and he...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    People can renounce their faith though, tell me you cannot and I’ll believe you. I could renounce my faith today, but by choice I choose not to. It’s not that God is keeping me, it’s me desiring him. Just tell me - no one can ever renounce their faith period, and they will go on to attribute...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    You can though. To say one cannot, is lying to oneself. It’s a day to day, action.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Unless they decide to turn. That’s the caveat. There is no such thing as once saved always saved. “While today is today” don’t hardern your hearts.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    @mailmandan yep there are unbelievers and believers. It’s obvious. We don’t know why people end up leaving faith… other than they desire other things, besides God. But that doesn’t mean we stop praying for them! Right?

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Good, but sick today. Slowly recovering. Just enjoying the day at work, if possible.
