Bible Question: Is there biblical foundation for the expression once saved always saved? |
Bible Answer: jwj: Welcome to the forum! I did not reafd the other responses to your question, however this same question comes up rather frequently. There are many who are believers in aposty you can loose your salvation, and equally as many who believe in eternal security. I hold the Scriptual view in John chapter 10 that nothing can remove us from the Lords hand. Saying this I also say that faith that falters had a flaw in it from the first. Paul often reminds us to keep our eyes on the goal and not to look back. This is a blend of the two views and is Biblical based. Perhaps the main idea is to endure in steadfastness to Jesus Christ and the thought of ones faith being false is not a consideration. There are some believers are very defensive in the position, and so adomint that they will disfellowship one another if they cand win over the other person to their view point. This is not a point of doctrine to brake fellowship over. Any thoughts? justme |
