1 | Psalm 37:24 | Rom 8:1 | EHC | 77723 | ||
Brother Brad, How can "depart from THE FAITH not be dealing with salvation? Isn't there only one FAITH? And Judas was just as saved as any of the other disciples. If anybody would be questionable as far as saved is concerned we could easily condemn all the disciples. Remember when Jesus rebuked Peter "get behind me Satan" and the name so familiar with Thomas (doubting). Jesus called them qualified them and sent saved men out to preach the gospel, heal, and cast out devils. Truly the scripture foretold of the betrayer, but any of the twelve could have been the one. The fact is that Judas gave place to the Devil and therefore he was the one. Joh 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. I don't want to give the impression that our salvation can't be secure, I just want to express the fact that some belive salvation is a one time deal, there in no need to have a relationship with God and his Son, and this is refuted throughout all of scripture. There is no scriptural evidence that suggests we can't backslide! We don't have to, but it is possible. And indeed the grace of God is more than able to keep us as well as save us, but God will never force us. You used Titus 2:11-12, and that is the issue I've tried to point out to many. Grace has a lesson to teach and it is that if you are saved you are activly saved it isn't a passive experience. You will be zealous of good works, dening ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present world. It won't be I was saved when I was 12, and it really doesn't matter how I live now! That only spits in the face of Jesus because that type of lifestyle expresses that there is no power in his blood to convert the sinner. And we know 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Speaking The Truth In Love Rev. Thomas H. Guinn |

2 | Where is "backsliding" in the NT? | Rom 8:1 | Radioman2 | 77726 | ||
Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? My question is not: Can you find the *concept* of backsliding in the NT? (The word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible, yet the concept is Biblical. By contrast, we cannot say the word backslide is not found in the Bible. It is in the Bible! Backslide is found in the OT, but not in the New.) My question is not: CAN YOU FIND *SYNONYMS* FOR 'BACKSLIDING' IN THE NT? My question remains: Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? Can you find the English word 'backsliding' (b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g) or any of its forms (e.g., backslide, backslidden, backslider) in the NT? If you can, show me the book, show me the chapter, and show me the verse where any form of the word backsliding appears in the NT. |

3 | Where is "backsliding" in the NT? | Rom 8:1 | inmyheart | 77727 | ||
Backslide: to draw back or apostatize in matters of religion ( Act 21:21; 2Th 2:3; 1Ti 4:1). This may be either partial ( Pro 14:14) or complete ( Hbr 6:4-6; 10:38,39). The apostasy may be both doctrinal and moral. God Bless |

Hebrews 10:39 (NKJV) But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. 10:39 "draw back to perdition. The writer expresses confidence that believing readers ("we") will not be counted among "those" who fall away to destruction" (MacArthur Study Bible). 1 John 2:19 (NKJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 2:19 "They went out from us...none of them were of us. The first characteristic mentioned of antichrists, i.e., false teachers and deceivers (vv. 22-26), is that they depart from the faithful. They arise from within the church and depart from true fellowship and lead people out with them. "The verse also places emphasis on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Those genuinely born again endure in faith and fellowship and the truth (1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Tim. 2:12). The ultimate test of true Christianity is endurance (Mark 13:13; Heb. 3:14) The departure of people from the truth and the church is their unmasking" (MacArthur Study Bible). |
