Revelation 20:10-12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. Revelation 20:15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Matthew 13:20-21 20The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. |

findrichard, Can a believer lose their salvation? Christians who convert to other faiths? Two hot button issues to say the least. I linke these two questions together because they come under the same issue in a manner of speaking. Is an individual truly a disciple of Jesus Acts 2:38,Ro 10:9,10, Jn3:16. If one can't say yes to theses scriptures then we have a problem. Next no true disciple of Jesus can lose their salvation. Our Lord speaks of this In Jn 17. I am not one who believes an individual loses their salvation. Now this is where it gets sticky for allot of people. Nothing says a person can't fall away or walk away from God. It happens everyday. We've seen it in our own fellowships. But there is nothing that says they can't come back either. This is where God's people come in. We can't and should not turn our backs on anyone. We are ambassadors for Christ and ministers of the Gospel nomatter what. In Him, lionheart |

To thread as a whole, I believe scripture teaches that one who abandons the faith was never saved previously. Let me offer just two places in scripture that teach this. 1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. Now in context John is referring to what he calls antichrists, but I think its a fair application I'm making. He says the reason they left us is to show that they never were truely of us. How does John know this? Because if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. Pretty straight forward. Heb 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, For we have become partakers, past tense, if we hold fast until the end, future tense. This is a remarkable conditional sentense. We have become partakers of Christ in the past, if we hold fast in the future. So if we fall from the faith in the future, we never were partakers of Christ in the past. I think these two passages show very clearly that a falling away from the faith is not the loss of salvation, but rather the revealing that salvation was never present. In Christ, Beja |

Scripture ... Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15 ... God's day to you, Brother Beja, I would add The Parable of the Sower found in the passages I cited. All four heard the Gospel and some appeared to be saved ... but only one truly was saved. My two pennies worth ... to I get change? Searcher |

Searcher, I think that is another fine example of what I'm suggesting. Thank you. In Christ, Beja |
