1 | Can one loose their salvation ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lanny | 26988 | ||
Paul surely seems to think so in 1 Corr 9:27 when he says "lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY." If nobody could loose their salvation why would he be preaching the way that he was, being ever so detailed, about every subject? I keep my body under. Why would he go through all of that? I'm sure that he could have enjoyed the world just like everyone else. In Christ, Lanny |

Lanny, Thats quite a interesting verse indeed. Castaway is defined in NKJV as disqualified and a cross ref is Jeremiah 6:30. I wonder if vs 27 Jer6 "..that you may know and test their way" casts a shadow on the person being tested? As in 1Cor9:11...."..those who are approved". Found to be believers of the True and not the heresies or NKJV says "factions"? What I think I am seeing is the LORD helping us to see it from HIS perspective. And not from our human perspective. With the LORD as THE "author and finisher of our faith" ...I would rather see HIS perspective in the case of my salvation. In that verse, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself have become disqualified." is Paul talking about salvation or is he addressing what others are testing: his qualifications of being a teacher, apostle, etc? His reputation seems to have been in question from the start of his ministry. After all, in Acts 17:11 he tells us the Bereans were more "noble" than the Thessolinicans. They tested all his teachings by scrutinizing from the their Bible to make sure what he was saying lined up. Personally, I dont think Paul was referring to salvation in this case. I would consider this to be personal to his ministry. Prov 15:28b was probably something Paul held dear. ....Lord dont let me convolute the story.... *SHALOM* |

Here's a few more scriptures to ponder. Heb 6:4-6. Here he is talking about those whom have already experienced salvation and were partakers of the Holy Ghost. Speaking that, "If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God, afresh, and put him to shame." When he says, "if they", I believe this means that it is surely possible. Also 2 Pet 2: 20-22. Here again the righteous are being spoken of and verse 21 reads: " For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." Here he speaks of returning to their own vomit. I have known of people to be truly blessed of God and filled with the Holy Spirit and have left this world exactly as this scripture mentions. What about Judas Iscariot? Did he not loose his salvation sitting directly under the Gospel of Jesus? Have we a better teacher? God help us if we truly think that our salvation cannot be lost. I believe that the only way that one could believe this is explained in 2 Pet 3:16. And 17, the following verse, speaks of being lead away and falling "again". In Christ, Lanny |

Discipled, Grace should be the very thing that keeps us from sinning. Sure we could push past the very keeping power that God provides but then we would have to ask ourselves, whose eyes do we really desire to see through? And if our desires are not right, it will be easy to outsin something that we truly don't have. God will not continue to provide something that we have no intentions of using. We must ask ourself. What sin is it that we absolutely must do, that the grace of God is not capable of keeping us from doing, if our real desire is to not commit the sin? His grace, Gods grace, not any old grace is sufficient for thee. In Christ, Lanny |
