1 | Heb 6:4-6 What does it mean...? 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | kalos | 24853 | ||
Falling away of professed Christians. "Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth "(1) as to the deity of Jesus Christ, and "(2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice 1 John 4:1-3; Philippians 3:18 ; 2 Peter 2:1 . Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance Acts 19:1-6 or heresy, which may be due to the sphere of Satan 2 Timothy 2:25,26 both of which may consist with true faith. The apostate is perfectly described in 2 Timothy 4:3,4 . Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity 2 Timothy 3:5. Apostate teachers are described in ; 2 Timothy 4:3; 2 Peter 2:1-19; Jude 1:4,8,11-13,16 . "Apostasy in the church, as in Israel Isaiah 1:5,6; 5:5-7 is irremediable, and awaits judgment ; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 ; 2 Peter 2:17,21; Jude 1:11-15; Revelation 3:14-16."

Scofield seems to agree with Stamp that a Christian can lose his salvation. "Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth |

I agree with you. A casual reading would *SEEM* to indicate that Scofield agrees that a Christian can lose his salvation. However, I have been reading and re-reading Scofield, cover-to-cover, backwards and forwards, inside-out for 30 years. Scofield never believed that a Christian could lose his salvation. He had this idea that Eternal Life by definition is not temporary. The idea here is regarding the act of a false *PROFESSOR* of salvation as opposed to a genuine *POSSESSOR* of salvation. "Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of *PROFESSED* Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth." |

Kalos Well I still have Stamp and I guarantee he knows the answer, since he went home to be with the Lord, albeit after he edited the Full Life Bible. And I guess we could go around the maypole on the meaning of the word “profess” but I’m not sure that would be meaningful. What do you say we just continue our Christian walk by faith and not worry about it. I really wasn't planning any big sins anyhow. That brings me to my biggest wonder. People that worry about if they can lose their salvation, what do they have in mind? EdB |

EdB: Scofield now knows the answer, too, and for the same reason Stamp does. The two of them have graduated to the biggest and best Bible class of all. Do you suppose they take turns as guest lecturers in these Bible studies? :-) You write: "What do you say we just continue our Christian walk by faith and not worry about it." Now that's the best idea I've heard all day. Like you, I wasn't planning to fall away either. I have enough trouble not falling away from my low fat diet. You bring up a good point to ponder when you write, "People that worry about if they can lose their salvation, what do they have in mind?" Have a blessed Sunday, kalos |
