Bible Note: Greetings kin! The salvation of infants and newborns is more than just an "assumption" on my part. :-) I agree, it is a daily battle to withdraw from sin and stay faithful, although I believe that if you do sin after salvation, that does not in itself keep you from being saved. However, Scripture clearly exhorts us to live a Godly life daily and to strive for perfection. I would agree with you there as well. However, I believe that a person can only be saved ONCE. A person can only go through salvation ONCE. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that a person can go through the salvation experience any more than at one time. So how do you explain a person who first professed Christ, then turned completely away, and now is back to fully professing Christ?? If salvation is a one-time experience that happens at one single time, then does it mean that a person was saved the first time or at the second time? I do believe, however, that if a person professed Christ, then turned away, and then when it came to the "crossroads" again (either accepting or rejecting Him) that they rejected Christ, then they are lost (Heb. 6:4). But the "key" to my understanding is that salvation is a 'one time' experience! It only happens to a person ONCE. And I believe that once it happens to you, that the Lord will be with you and you will not "lose" it. Blessings to you, Nolan |
