1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Rom831 | 30347 | ||
It fits in the EXACT way the other two parables fit in. All three speak about saving the lost - the coin, the sheep, the son. You are picking on this one parable and ignoring the other two that address the same thing. They are all talking about saving the lost. This one just talks about that were saved, the lost then saved "again". Hebrews is easy. Can that person renew themselves? No. Can we renew them? No. Can God? Yes: Matt 19:26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Look at those verses again though. It says in the case of those who HAVE BEEN partakers of the Holy Spirit and THEN have fallen away. It clearly says they CAN fall away. And no, we can't get them back, only God can. Bless...ArtS |

2 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Hank | 30357 | ||
Art, are you saying salvation is like a light switch -- on-off, saved-lost, on again-off again, saved again-lost again? How many times does one have to be saved in order to be saved? How many times must he be born again in order to be born again? Is our salvation so very iffy that we must be careful to keep at least one repentence ahead of our sins? ....... Without attempting to exegete every verse or to parse every word of Luke 15, I will cite the words of 15:2, "this man receives sinners" as being the key to all three parables. Miss the key and the parables will remain locked. Not one of the three parables is talking about "multiple salvations" -- or however one chooses to put it. --Hank | ||||||
3 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Rom831 | 30477 | ||
sory, I cannot see that. This one talks about a son, who had an inheritance from the father (God). That means he was saved. Then the father, God, clearly says the son was lost and dead. Then became found and alive "again". I guess I don't like the term to "loose your salvation". Its not a matter of loosing it or having it taken away. Its a matter of rejecting it when we turn from God. How many times? Don't know. How many times can you truely accept Christ then turn away? In reality, I can't see this happening much, but I have seen it twice. One turned away then back (after a rape). One turned away after seeing his mother waste away with cancer. The second hasn't returned unfrtunately. Bless...ARtS |
