No OSAS Scripture? Of course not! There are NONE!
This is an open forum regarding religious teachings of the Lord God Almighty.
There is an expectation of some maturity in basic knowledge and some beginners in Gods Word and some wise in Gods Word.
It is advantageous for a beginner to hear Gods Word for word, as written, before, delving into an expectation of receiving understanding of the knowledge they hear or read.
As a beginner advances, by and through their own effort of much hearing and much reading...their blessing of wisdom increases and blessings of understanding the knowledge increases.
Everyone “should” know OSAS, is a man-devised acronym, that stands for:
Once Saved Always Saved.
Everyone “should” know OSAS being a man-devised acronym, that specific acronym, is NOT in Scripture, nor is the phrase for which the acronym stands for.
However a wise man, can exert his own effort, to read Scripture and discover
* How many times the Lord God Gives a man his Gift of Salvation.
The answer is ONCE. The answer is revealed in the knowledge of Gods Word.
The HOW one receives his Gift, is in Scripture. The HOW requires a mans Heartful, Truthful Confession. The Lord God is ALL knowing. The man himself know his own Truth. And “IF” the man IS LYING, the man will know, God will know....AND....Gods Gift of Salvation shall not be given to a man who LIES to the Holy Spirit of God. As it would be a shame upon God.
By the Word ONCE...we are relating, what Gods Word requires, to RECEIVE Gods Gift of Salvation, while a man IS alive in his flesh.
ONE Calling upon the Lord God, to confess Heartful Belief IN Him.
A repetitive Calling upon the Lord God, would mean, the ONCE FIRST CALLING was a LIE. And Scripture itself WARNS about Lying to the Holy Spirit. And Scripture itself WARNS to be SURE of your calling.
There are no Do overs. Be SURE, before you call on the Lord God, to confess heartful belief IN Him. He requires ONCE your truth. If you are LYING, you have committed the unpardonable sin, and can not be forgiven of your sin against God, and thus without forgiveness, can not receive His Gift of Salvation.
Moving on to the next word...SAVED.
After ONCE according to Gods Order and Way, a man DOES heartfully Truthfully Confess his SURE Belief in the Lord God....the Knowledge in Scripture reveals, God WILL THEN, DO HIS WORKS, WHICH WILL ASSURE, that man:
IS Forgiven for having NOT Believed (sin against God)
IS Heart circumcised.
IS Given Gods Seed.
IS Given God Holy Spirit IN that man
IS Soul Saved
IS Spirit Quickened
IS Kept forever WITH God.
SHALL be risen IN Glory.
SAV-ED, is a mans own testament that he TRUSTS God is Faithful to have performed His Works in that man.
SAVED is a word revealing the GIFT of SALVATION has been Received.
SAVED is a word Jesus Himself used in application to characters IN Scripture.
Which is satisfactory proof for me, that receiving SALVATION ONCE, is not a new man-made phenomenon, but rather, OCCURRED IN Jesus day on earth, revealed out of Jesus’ own mouth.
Moving on to the next word...Always.
Alway is another word Jesus expressly used, in REGARD to men, having received their Salvation while alive in their flesh.
Jesus taught, He is ALWAY with a man WHO is Baptized with the HS.
Jesus taught, the HOLY SPIRIT is IN a man WHO is Baptized with the HS.
Jesus taught, the HOLY SPIRIT is ALWAYS and FOR EVER with a man Baptized with the HS.
Always IS For ever.
And by Jesus own teaching, a man WHO HAS received his Gift of Salvation, SHALL For ever, BE WITH the Lord God Almighty, and the Lord God Almighty BE WITH that man.
Can’t speak for you, however my understanding IS Always and For ever, IS without ceasing, without ending.
Can’t speak for you, however my understanding IS Jesus IS the Truth, can not lie, and I Trust that IS TRUE.
Yes bottom line...God, by, through, of Christ Jesus, Gave the world Gods Gift of Salvation, for any WILLING man to Heartfully Confess Belief, and Receive Gods Gift, BEFORE a mans flesh physically dies. I elected ONCE to call on the Lord God, according to Gods Order and Way, and Accept Gods Gift of Salvation, and fully Trust He is Faithful to have given His Gift of Salvation to me, by and through His Works IN me.
And NO...there is NOT ONE teaching in Scripture of “Gods Works” IN A MAN, By, through, of .... the HOLY SPIRIT... Ever becoming reversed, undone.
By your own testimony....You blatantly do not BELIEVE Once a man IS Saved he is Saved Forever.
That puts you in a precarious position.
You were asked, by me, IF you ARE saved.
Your reply was NOT, yes you ARE saved.
Your reply to me, was, YOU BELIEVE.
Also according to Scripture, men who believe, until the day of their FLESH DEATH, who endure (continue) BELIEVING....SHALL BE SAVED “THEN” at the time of their FLESH DEATH.
ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN testimony...even THEN, should you endure and keep believing to the day of your Physical day...YOU still are unsure IF you will receive salvation, IF it would be forever, IF you did receive salvation.
You speak very little about Salvation and By Default what you do say,
you are waging suspicion on Gods Word and Faithfulness to ONCE and FOREVER GIVE men His Gift of Salvation,
AS IF Gods GIFT of SALVATION is some insignificant gift He is UNKNOWING, (of all things) and ALLOWS His Gift to be given to men AGAINST Him.
You should be aware, God is the great DIVIDER. From the beginning God has been DIVIDING. Jesus continued DIVIDING. And DIVIDING continues to this day. The DIVIDING is EXPRESSLY revealing WHO IS WITH God and WHO IS AGAINST God....And the NEW Heavens and New Earth prepared for manifestation WILL ONLY be occupied by those WITH God, and God WITH them.
And RECEIVING Gods Gift of SALVATION, IS HOW men “are being” and “shall be” SEPARATED from all the divided Against God.
RECEIVING Gods Gift of SALVATION “NOW”, before a mans physical Flesh Death....IS the BULK of the NEW “better” Testament, PRECISELY because it is an ASSURANCE unto a man, TO FOREVER BE WITH GOD!
Heb 7:
[
22] By so much was Jesus made
a surety of a better testament.
Glory to God,
