Bible Note: I was not putting words in his mouth. I was asking him if he believed this. Hence, the question mark. I know people who truly believe that once you are saved, you are always saved and say it all the time. You can not speak for everyone on this. There are a lot of words that aren't in the Bible that we hold as valid (ex. Trinity, eucharist, usher, american). So are you saying that because that word is not in the Bible people can't "slide back into sin" (that is the meaning of the word). Neither do I base what I beleive on songs. I only referred to it as an example/definition. I was not refuting, disagreeing, or denying anything in his statement. I was merely asking a question or clarification on his part. I take my faith and my salvation seriously and for you to imply otherwise is an insult to me personally. I was in no way trying to be flip or argumentative...just curious. I am serve a God full of grace and mercy and believe that salvation is free to all who seek Him and forgiveness is avaliable who sincerly ask. Even to those who make mistakes. That is MY belief. I do nor will I force that on anybody else. If you dont' believe it that's fine too. But I know I have sinned and I KNOW I have been forgiven. Now...you tell the person who comes to you broken, seeking redemption and forgiveness from God that they are going to hell anyway. |
