Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: FTimA, from the numerous posts made to you on this topic, it appears that you will not be swayed in your beliefs and it grieves me that you're allowing the Deceiver this stronghold in your life. The Holy Spirit places the truth in us. Through prayer and meditation the Truth is revealed to us. Note, in order to know the Truth and be set free, we must actively seek it. Once I became saved, I didn't continue to seek salvation, I began seeking the Truth. I pose a series of questions to you. 1. Is Mother Theresa with God? Is Peter with God? How about John the Baptist? How do you know that they are or are not? 2. If Christians (here I mean true believers, not religious Christians) must continually repent, based on the fact that we are inherently sinful, then how is anyone with God? 3. Does anyone know the exact moment of earthly death? 4. If Christians must continually work for salvation, then why did Jesus bother dying that horrible death in the first place? Why bother if we still have to work for salvation? 5. Who determines if we've worked enough? Wouldn't that again lead back to a rather sparse heaven with only the Triune God and angels there? I pray that you allow your eyes to be opened to the Truth and that by the power of Jesus' blood, the Deceiver be gone from your life. I know that Jesus has me in His hand and I KNOW that Satan cannot remove me no matter how far I may stray. My assurance is based on the Word of God (as has oft been quoted in others' posts to you). See, that's where faith enters. You repent of your sins, ask for forgiveness, and accept the gift of salvation, then you believe that God doesn't lie in His word nor does He contradict Himself.
