Greetings JamesGraves, "V. THE SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER "A. The Issue. Can a true believer ever lose his salvation by sinning, ceasing to believe, or in any other way? "B. The Proof of Security. The doctrine of eternal security rests on a proper concept of what God actually does when He saves a soul. 1. He loves to the uttermost (John 13:1). 2. He purposes to keep in spite of everything (John 10:28-30). 3. He intends to present us faultless before Himself (Jude 24). 4. His Son ever lives to make intercession to keep us saved (Heb. 7:25; 1 John 2:1). 5. His Spirit has placed us into the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). 6. His Spirit has sealed us until the day of redemption (Eph. 4:30). 7. His Word guarantees that nothing (including ourselves) can separate us from Christ (Rom. 8:28-39). In order to lose one's salvation all of these works of God would have to be undone, and the Bible nowhere even hints that this is possible." "C. The Problem Passages. 1. Hebrews 6:4-6. If this teaches that one can lose his salvation, it also teaches that one can never be saved a second time. 2. John 15:6. Probably refers to the judgment seat of Christ. 3. James 2:14-26. Nonworking faith is not a faith that saves in the first place. 4. 2 Peter 2 and Jude are referring to false teachers, who in Jude's estimation were not true believers (Jude 19; cf. Rom. 8:9). 5. Matthew 24:13. End of what? The Great Tribulation." (1) "Security "We teach that all the redeemed once saved are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 5:24; 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Rom. 5:9,10; 8:1,31-39; 1 Cor. 1:4-9; Eph. 4:30; Heb. 7:25; 13:5; 1 Pet. 1:4,5; Jude 24)." "We teach that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an excuse for sinful living and carnality (Rom. 6:15-22; 13:13,14; Gal. 5:13,16,17,25,26; Titus 2:11-14)." (2) Blessings to you, Makarios P.S. If you want more than you can read on this subject in a year's time, then put in "Eternal Security" or "once saved always saved" in the Quick Search box to your right. There is only one other topic that has been discussed more frequently than this topic in this Forum's history, and that discussion is now forbidden to discuss.
