Subject: Are you onced saved always saved? |
Bible Note: In one of my previous posts I stated something to the affect of the following; "can not is obsurdity; will not, I tend to agree with." There is no such thing as "more salvation!" Continued salvation would be more suitable. Per Mr Webster; Salvation is 1 a : deliverance from the power and effects of sin b : the agent or means that effects salvation c Christian Science : the realization of the supremacy of infinite Mind over all bringing with it the destruction of the illusion of sin, sickness, and death 2 : liberation from ignorance or illusion 3 a : preservation from destruction or failure b : deliverance from danger or difficulty The statement "once saved, always saved" states that one can not turn from the deliverance from danger or difficulty. Your post strengthens my agreement with the "will not" portion of that statement, yet and still, I can't yet agree with "once saved, always saved," but I can't say that I totally disagree with it either. Dear soul, you stated "I do believe wholeheartedly, that He that saved me, is more than capable to keep me." I do too. But scripture teachs that one "can remove his name from the Lambs Book of life." If anyone can, through scripture prove "once saved, always saved," I will accept that statement. Otherwise, through scripture I will continue to assert the statement that "this is a dangerous" way to believe. Either way; the bottom line is that we accept, believe, and repent. This is the foundation. All other discussion is "non essential." I can, and will agree to disagree with my bretherin in this matter. I pray they can and will do the same. What does "IMHO" mean? All for One And One for all. In Christ George |
