1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Jesusman | 30131 | ||
So, if a Christian can lose his salvation, then that means that God isn't as powerful as he claims, that it is up to us to save ourselves, and that we have bragging rights if we make it to heaven. Therefore, we are just as good on our own as we are with God. After all, God isn't powerful enough. Correct? Jesusman |

2 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64134 | ||
I am sorry but you are looking at it from the wrong perspective. God is our only hope of salvation! He has provided the means by which we can be redeemed. Faith is more than just believing in something. YOU MUST LIVE IT! If you stop living the way a Christian ought to live, do you still deserve the rewards? | ||||||
3 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | BradK | 64144 | ||
Dear FTimA, I would agree in general with the first part of your response. Thank God that "we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves, not of works lest any man should boast". (Eph. 2:8-9) I would question the statement that "if you stop living the way a Christian ought to live, do you still deserve the rewards?" If the answer were based upon MY efforts or merits, then clearly no. This is dealt with specifically in 1 Cor. 3:11-15. My friend, is not our "reward" salvation (Eternal Life) provided by and accomplished wholly by God.(2 Tim.4:8) Speaking the Truth in Love, Bradk |
