Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: I would be interested in reading your post previous to the one dated 4/11. James 5:19,20 My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. If one strays from the truth doesn't this mean that he/she obeyed at some point? James calls them a sinner, in error, and if one turns them back to the truth they will save his/her soul. Sounds like salvation can be lost to me. 2 Peter 3:17,18 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Peter is talking to Christians here. 2 Peter 1:1 says, "...To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ". Why should Christians be on their guard? Their salvation is guaranteed, isn't it? Then why does he say they could "fall from their own steadfastness"? |
