Here’s a page full of “conditional salvation” verses …
1 Cor 15:1-2 • Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you,
which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved,
IF you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
Heb 3:6 • … but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are
IF we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
Col 1:22-23 • … to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight
— IF indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away
from the hope of the gospel
1 Jn 2:3-5 • Now by this we know that we know Him, IF we keep His commandments.
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God
is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
Rom 8:13-17 • For IF you live according to the flesh you will die;
but IF by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
… we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God
and joint heirs with Christ, IF indeed we suffer with Him
1 John 1:7-10 • But IF we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
IF we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar
Heb 10:38-39 • Now the just shall live by faith; but IF anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who draw back to perdition,
but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
Heb 2:1-4 • Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard,
lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape
IF we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and
was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs
and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
2 Pet 2:20-22 • For IF, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and
overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been
better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it,
to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them
according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and,
“a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
EXPLANATION …
All of the MANY dozens of warnings and threats written to the churches were
actually ONLY for those who were elected before the foundation of the world.
God knew that His “elect” would heed the warnings, and walk the narrow path.
And that’s why they were elected in the first place!
P.S. not all BACs are part of God’s elect, i.e. some choose to not co-operate.
This is somewhat well-hidden … a positive outlook helps keep a civil society.
