Bible Question: Why do Christians believe there is no such thing as "Once saved always saved? |
Bible Answer: Look at the Prodigal son. He was a son, turned his back on his father (God) and became lost. He then returned to his father (God) and was again found. He was a child of the father, knew him and was his. He then willfully turned his back, took his inheritance and left. But he finally returned. So he was Alive, then dead, then alive. Luke 15:24 for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate. Some will say he wasn't saved to begin with, but he WAS a son, not a stranger. And the verse says when he returned, he was alive "again" which means he was alive before. But we see in between, he WAS dead. There are other verses about causing believers to stumble, about churches becoming dead and needing to awake again, about casting those out who fall away until they return. But this to me is the most clear cut. Bless...ArtS |
