1 | Can a person lose salvation? | Luke 15:11 | rev-j.p.epps | 96400 | ||
There are many other scriptures that bear this out but none that say it so plainly as Rev. 3:4-6, that he that overcomes I will not blot his name out of the book of life. For Jesus to say this means if we do not overcome sin there is a possibilty for our names to be removed from the book of life. Why would he have said this if it were not so? Look also @ matt 25 @ the foolish virgins, they were virgins but they were not ready and were rejected. Next passage v. 14 and on the unwise steward with his talent, he did nothing with it. He did not obey his master and in v. 30 was cast into outer darkness where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So we do see and not vaguely so that it is possible to have tasted of the heavenly gift and of the life to come to afterward to be cast from Gods' presence. i pray this has shed some light on a very confusing and contraversial doctrine. in Christ Rev-J.P.Epps | ||||||

He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you post questions, go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) --Radioman2 |

Hi Radioman2, I was always under the impressiuon that all were listed in the book of life and if one dies without trusting in the Son of God his name would be blotted out? This would reflect that God desires that all should be saved. This also shows that some reject God's will for their eternal future and thus God blots their name out of his plan for eternal life.

Hi Radioman2, That was a great article that you recommended. By the way, did you ever happen to know another radioman that went home to be with the lord about a year and a half ago by the name of Larry Wright? What a great believer he was and I loved his ministry, “Abundant Life inc.” in Phoenix, Arizona? When he went home to be with the Lord it sure brought my tears, probably while he was beaming from ear to ear! CDBJ |
