1 | Can a person lose salvation? | Bible general Archive 1 | disciplerami | 72357 | ||
Greetings, Let me add my two cents to your very good question concerning whether one may be saved, then lost. I was reading 2 Peter 2 just moments ago and came across this same topic. Peter writes of the 'false prophets' of his day, saying, "who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves....for if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;...then the Lord knows how to...keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment." (2 Peter 2:1,4,9) What we have here is the clear message that the 'purchased of God' may turn to 'destructive heresies' and be held to account for it on the day of judgment. On that day, it will be too late for repentance and their fate will be the same as the fate of 'angels when they sinned.' We must conclude that a Christian can make the decision to turn away from God, and from the accompanying grace. God bless. |

2 | To whom do we belong? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jabiruu | 73359 | ||
If a person can turn away from God, I guess they can turn back again and again and again. Question, How many times did Christ die on the cross? How many times does He need to pay the price? If He has purchased with the bloodied body of Christ and sealed with His Holy Spirit, to whom do we belong? | ||||||

Phillipians 3:9-15 Romans 3:22 Romans 4:11 Romans 9:30 Romans 10:6 Salvation is once...Jesus paid the price once and for all...sanctification is continuous. When we recognze we are righteous by faith not works, then we can progress forward to the realization that righteousness which is by faith is the liberating factor of grace. The process of sanctification is the process of transformation done by the the Holy Spirit and the word working in our lives. When one accepts the righteousness by faith one can begin the process of sanctification without fear, but instead with a heart of love and thankfulness. As long as we fear losing our salvation we will be sin conscious, but when we refocus on growing to His likeness leaving the past behind, and moving forward we become God in us conscious...relationship conscious. Repentance is not attempting to recrucify Christ, but should be a continual walking forward IN Christ. Romans 8:15 We have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. God bless |
