Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: FTimA, actually, it really is that simple. I was not referring to our consciences and the process of releasing our guilt and sins to the Lord, I was referring to what you must do in order to be forgiven. Please remember, though, as it says in James 2, works without faith doesn't amount to much. So, if a person asks for forgiveness (the action), but does not have the faith that he is forgiven, then it doesn't mean anything. Conversely, faith without works is dead as well. A person who believes that he's been forgiven (faith), but doesn't permanently change his ways doesn't get it either. Asking for salvation is the easy part. Believing that you've been saved should also be the easy part. Living a perfect life as our heavenly Father (Matt 5:48) is the hard part. By the way, I have since realized that no one can lose the gift of salvation. Please also see my post dated 4/11/02. In Christ, Estelle |
