1 | Can know Jesus then lose salvation? | Matt 13:20 | Bereaniam | 173776 | ||
I have always believed "once saved always saved...osas" and that Christians can "backslide" and not receive the rewards they could have if they kept walking in the Word, but still go to Heaven. Anyone who "claims" to have been a Christian and then renounces Christ...I believe only gave mental assent and were never truly born again. But, will someone please explain 2Peter 2:20,21. "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they of worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them." NIV Thanks in advance for your response. Bereaniam |

2nd Peter Ch.2 is specifically talking about false teachers so you must take these verses in context with the chapter. Here are a couple of cross refernces that tie into the meaning of these verses. Heb.10:26-27, 6:6 Jude 5,6 Luke 12:39-48 Also because these people new the way of righteousness and rejected it they are worse off then if they didnt know. |
