1 | Lost my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) | Heb 6:4 | Reformer Joe | 17824 | ||
Just as a side note, the Calvinists will debate the precise meaning of this passage, but most like me will characterize those being addressed as those who are APPARENTLY Christians, but who do not persevere until the end. The Reformed believe in "once saved, always saved," but in the sense that all of those whom God has regenerated will be preserved to stand firm in their faith until the end (perseverence of the saints). That is not to say that they will not falter in their faith, or that they will not sin, but that no one truly saved will ever finally and fully reject the faith. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, whoaccording to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." --1 Peter 1:3-5 --Joe! |

2 | Lost my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) | Heb 6:4 | Morant61 | 17836 | ||
Greetings Joe! Agreed! The main point, which both sides can agree on, is that those who truly desire to grow in grace (whether that desire is given to them or not) will grow in grace. Thus, this passage should not cause fear for a believer! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
