Only the Holy Spirit can draw them back. You still have to make the choice to repent or not. If the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart and you are convicted of that sin and are sorry and don't want to do it again then you ask for forgivness,then for strenght to forsake that sin. WE are all sinners. The difference between the forgiven and the unforgiven is the forgiven sinner asked to be forgiven.There is an action going on here. ASKED TO BE FORGIVEN. the action asked is on the part of the sinner. Drawing by the Holy Ghost, forgivness by God. We still have to ask.Otherwise what seperates us from the wicked? They chose to Tread under foot the Son of God.They choose the god of this world/worldliness. God would have all men saved 1st Tim 2:4 WE know that all will not be saved. Because the wicked will have their part in the lake of fire that is prepared for satan and his angels. The road is narrow... Who made Adam sin? Who made Moses strike the rock when God said speak to it? I thank God Daily and ask for forgivness daily. Why? Because I am a Sinner.Praise be to God for his love towards us all,who HATES SIN but LOVES THE SINNER, even a sinner like me. God gives eternal life. Man is mortal and subject to death. Eternal like is promised only to the rightous. So those who believe that God punishes the wicked in hell forever then also believe that the wicked will have eternal life,for how can a person be tortured unless he has life? A backslider can ask for forgivness. This is what I was saying. And God is faithfull to forgive us our sins. Only when you refuse to listen to the calling of the Holy Spirit to the point that you have heardened yourself to the plee to come to Christ are you in danger. | ||||||

candy lee, If I may, please let me refer you to a site in which I found most helpful regarding "lost salvation". http://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/lewis_chafer/salvation/ A breif preview that I found enlightening: Not only is it revealed that God is disposed to keep the one whom He has saved, but the true child of God is also a gift of the Father to the Son (Jhn 10:29; 17:6, 9, 11) and has been committed to the keeping power of the Father by the prayer of the Son. "Holy Father keep." That prayer will be answered. Thus it may be concluded that should the saved one be lost, the eternal purpose of God will have been thwarted. Admitting this, it must be concluded that He Who can design a universe whose remotest star shall not deviate by a second from its appointments throughout the ages; Who can plan the universe from the highest arch-angel to the marvelous organism of the smallest insect; Whose purpose has never yet been known to fail—that such a God may be defeated by the mere creature His hands have made. If the saved one is finally lost, it must also be concluded that God is, to that degree, lacking in power. He Who has testified that not one of His sheep will ever perish, must yet retract His bold assertions and humbly submit to a power that is greater than His own. He Who created and holds the universe in His hands; Who calls things that are not as though they were; Who could speak the word and dismiss every atom of matter and life from existence forever must retire before the over-lordship of some creature of His hand. And, lastly, admitting the revelation concerning God's eternal purpose and His infinite power to accomplish that purpose, if it could still be proven that the saved one might be lost we would be shut up to the one and final conclusion that it could be so only because the All-powerful God did not sufficiently care to keep those whom His power had created as new-born children. But what do we find? The revelation is full of testimony concerning that very care. Who can measure the revealed devotion of His boundless love toward the objects of His saving grace? Who will dare claim that He will not answer the prayer of His Son? – Lewis Sperry Chafer WOS |
