Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: I strongly disagree! The Holy Spirit seals us as proof that we shall be saved FOREVER! If we can lose our salvation then Hebrews 6:4-6 would mean that there would be no way to be resaved! John 10:22-30 in contex, means we are his and no one can take us away from Christ. Romans 8:37-39 again states NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. 1 John chapter four is a picture of the love of God and holding power. There is no such thing as sinless perfection while we are alive on this earth. 1 John 1:9 says we are to CONFESS our sins. I find no place in scripture taken in contex, that says if you lose your salvation you can be re-saved. I read about being carnal, and backsliden, and to repent, and to renew myself. Salvation is faith in Christ plus NOTHING! If my works cold not save me, and only Christ can, is Christ not able to keep me? I believe it is so important that if you are willing to led someone to Christ and do not take time to nuture then into growth, then you may well be planting a seed only to have that seed picked up by the birds of satan. If you help birth a new believer is is imparitive to nurture that spiritual baby!!!!! Peace, farout |
