The Bible explicitly says so:
Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God
Hebrews 3:12
Disagree...And Why.
These men were NOT saved, by The Savior Christ Jesus.
These men Jewish brethren, are being warned to NOT depart from Believing IN God (to their end)....so they WILL BECOME SAVED
[
12] Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in
departing from the living
God.
[
13] But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
[
14]
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
[
15] While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
[
16] For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
[
17] But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
[
18] And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
[
19]
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
OSAS is about men who ACCEPTED Christ Jesus’ Offering of Salvation while alive in their Body, (BEFORE their physical flesh death, spiritually crucified with Christ.)
Jews, Long standing Believed in God.
Jews, Long standing who Believed in God (to their Death), WERE, and SHALL BEcome Saved BY the Savior Christ.
Jews, Long standing who Believed in God, and stopped believing IN God, WERE NOT, and SHALL NOT BEcome Saved BY the Savior Christ.
Their Salvation is AFTER physical Death,
IF they continue Believing IN GOD.
Same applies to Jews and Gentiles TODAY...
IF ...
Jews believe in God to their death....they shall be saved.
Gentiles believe in God to their death....they shall be saved.
Any man that believes in Jesus to their death....they shall be saved.
Any man who CONFESSES True Heartful Belief...IN Christ Jesus and the one who sent Him (ie God)...they ConfessED Belief, IN God, IN Jesus, IN Christ...
THEY DO not wait, until Physical death to Become SAVED...
THEY ARE SAVED ONCE AND FOREVER.
*Why Once? Jesus Christ teaching...IF thou will Confess.
Rom 10: 9-10
*Why Once? Convert-ED a completed act.
Matt 18:3
*Why Forever? They become Born Again of Gods Seed, ONCE
1 Pet 1:23
* Why Forever? The Power of God (Holy Spirit) enters them and KEEPS them Convert-ED in Belief.
Rom 8: 9`10`11
* Why Forever?
John 14: 16`17
Glory to God,
