Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Hello Farout, You have miss spoken my friend. There is such a thing as Apostacy. If it were not so the Lord God would not give us warnings to remain faithul. You need to rethink this by reading just these few out of many verse that point to a person who has and can fall away. Keep in mind though that we can be saved once and for all, but its conditional. As it states in,1 John 1 7But "IF" we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. The word "if" is a small word that holds a lot of weight and "if" we overlook it we can loose our soul. 1 Corinthians 10 12Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 1 Timothy 4 The Great Apostasy Be Faithful to Your Spiritual Calling 1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 2 Peter 2 20For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit,"[1] and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire." Also my friend you say that salvation is faith in Christ plus nothing. I tell you that if a little child is trapped in a burning building and the fireman tells him to jump out the window, I will catch you, even though he might have faith if doesn't jump he's going to burn! Jesus said, Matthew 7 I Never Knew You (1) 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who "DOES" the will of My Father in heaven. I tell you that faith plus nothing is a dead faith. James 2 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. You say "is Christ not able to keep me?" Yes He is able if you were a robot! But you are not! You are a free will agent that is able to do as you want to do. This is a week argument to say "is Christ not able to keep me?". All this question does is put the blame for you or whoever else feels this way on God, when God has already done His part. He supplied the "grace" He supplied His Son. And now you want to put the blame at Gods feet if your lost! Obedience to the will of God is the only way one can be saved! 2 Thessalonians 1 8in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who DO NOT OBEY the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
