1 | Once Save; Always Saved? | John 6:37 | J.D. MacDonald | 15038 | ||
Once Saved; always Saved. I've believed in this since I am Saved. I believe that Christ will take you home before you fall into oblivion. Isn't there scripture to depict this? I allude to where I believe Paul writes that "...neither death nor principalities. . .shall take you from my hand." So, based on this premise, I believe in total Salvation; not saying that we can now go out and commit murder/adultery and etc... Can you please elucidate and edify? Much appreciate bothering you with my issue - just have the burning/hunger for Christ. Very Respectfully, J.D. |

2 | Once Save; Always Saved? | John 6:37 | SisterD | 15053 | ||
Brother J.D, God is our onlt ture source of strenght. And if you seek his direction, He will surely give it to you. Once saved...always saved is dependant on you live to him. If we sin, yes we are and can be forgiven and He will renew us in his love. But please understand to turn from God and expect to be taken up when yur time comes is not so. I'am the one that replied to your question earlier and gave you Ezekiel and 2 Peter and 2 Corinthians. I only for got to add my name to the end. Be encouraged...as long as you remain IN GOD and do not turn from him "yes you will be saved" but remember Ezekiel 18:20-32. If we are to forfive 7 times 70 as scripture says...then how much more would God forgive us...MUCH MORE. But it is a repentive heart that God wants. Repentence for the wrong we have done....not that we got found out. Godly sorrow worketh repentence not to be repented of.....2 Corinthians 7:9-10, that is the repentence God will except and forgive. I pray you seek out God and live for Him all the days of your life. He is a GOOD God and faithful andjust to forgive us. God Bless, Sister D |

Dear Sister D, 'Once saved, always saved' is NOT dependant upon your ability to live to God. 'Once saved, always saved' reflects a correct understanding of what salvation is and what it is not. If we could 'live to God', we would not need a Savior. We cannot live APART from God. He ALONE is the source of life. The repentant heart that God seeks is concerning what you believe about His Son. Jesus said that the world's sin is that they do not believe in Him. That is the only sin that remains 'unforgiven' and that must be repented of. Christ has forgiven the believer ALL of their sins. The cross was an ETERNAL act of God. It took away ALL sins - past, present, and future. If all of your sins are NOT forgiven, then how are you going to get more forgiveness? Without the shedding of blood, there is NO forgiveness. Are you going to ask Christ to come and die for you so that you can have more forgiveness? God NEVER calls you to live for Him. He calls you to come to Christ and find LIFE. Then He calls us to live out His life in our bodies - Romans 12:1. Please read my other post, dear one. Do you understand what you are "saved" from? In Christ, Bill Mc |

Hello, Bill Mc, Sister D. and Steve, Just want to make a coment about 'once you saved, always saved'...A little story first: I dont know about all Catholics, but when I was a practicing catholic, and I commited a sin, I would just pray that God will let me make it to the next Sunday service,so I can confess my sin to the prist. I would recieved from him what was to be my penance for those sins, (wish usually was around 5 holy maries and 2 of the Lord's Prayer. The amount would be dependant on the severity of the sin.) After that I would go to my pew and recite my penance. By the time I was finished I was a happy camper. "Happy" until I did or said something stupid again, wish was not hard considering there were 9 sibbling living together in my house. This Catholic rites may sounds rediculous to those who cant relate to them. But they were my reality at the time. Until Christ saved ME from ME and MY SINS. If, after you have recieved the work of the cross, there is a posibility of hell for you, wish sin is going to be the one to do you in? Murder or gossip. They are both sin in the eyes of a Holy God. Right! We are not to be sin counscious, even though we can still sin. I cannot LOOSE my salvation because I didnt FIND my salvation. Christ found me. I was lost. Not HIM. He warn us not to think more highly of our self more than we out to. I am so glad my rightiousness is not dependant on me anymore!!!. That I can come boldly to the throne of grace and I WILL find mercy in the time of need. Glory to God! God Bless You. In His Grip, Amiga |
