(His By Grace;42031) If you want an even clearer picture of what we believe as far as OSAS, then you could also read Charles Stanley's book, Eternal Security of the Believer. It goes into great detail on the whole subject, so that no one will think that we take the precious grace of Jesus...

Oh I see we are so introspective, while all the other lemmings fall off the system cliff - Sheesh! Listen this guy is a pastor who made inflammatory comments and accusations from a pulpit.

(followerofchrist;41740) How can you just flat out deny all the scripture that has been posted. People can fall away. If you accept christ and choose to follow him you are saved. But if the very next day you CHOOSE to follow Satan than you purposely gave up your salvation. This has already been...

Not that bad? Sheesh! They are horrendous! He can say whatever he wants, but I don't think I want my president having that voice in his ear on issues on conscious, war, or homeland security. How could they be any worse? We have lost our ability to be offended in America... that is the worst of...

well... okay then. I think we arrive at similar conclusions, but on different paths. Thanks for the discussion, it has been interesting and entertaining! :blessyou:

Yes it has... thank you too!I think we have a variety of texts that lead us to believe, along with warning us of potential apostasy or backsliding. We cannot disregard these warnings, but instead we have to work them into our theology and try and understand if salvation is so eternally secure...

(Abdul Dawood;41522) I think Franklin, that you have gotten to the bottom of it with this verse, and I will explain why. If someone rejects Christ after supposedly being saved, then they were not saved to begin with. If say, I go to church, or a buddy tells me about Jesus, and I say...
