Bible Note: Mathew, Thanks for your response. Possibly you could clarify for me specifically what you are confused about? That would help me to be very specific in my response. You state "Im wondering if a person is saved can he backslide." Based upon the NT, I would say no. The term backslider is not used with reference to NT believers! We can certainly be carnal and not 'walk in the Spirit' as Gal. 5:16 commands us, or we can walk contrary to it. (Note Eph.4:17-22). In short, we can reckon ourselves to be dead to God, and alive to sin- contrary to Rom.6:11. Consider Heb. 4:15-16,we can come boldly to the throne of grace in time of need! In my estimation, our time of need is almost constant:-) Remember, that God doesn't leave our faith or walk to speculation or chance! It is grounded in the immutable character of God, and His precious Word. A loving God doesn't leave His children with uncertainty, but promises based upon His faithfulness (1 Thess. 5:24).
