Subject: once saved always saved? |
Bible Note: Bowler, Sorry it has been so long. To clarify what I meant to say. I believe that there are people who ask Jesus to come into their lives and really don't mean it. They just do that on a whim. Lets take this person that just asked Jesus to come into their heart and they just did it because their friends did it. We don't know that though. For all we know he is really asking Jesus to come into his heart. They don't do anything for the rest of there lives that shows that they are a christian and they openly say that they don't believe in a God. Now this person dies just like that. Just before they die they tell everyone that there is no God and that they don't believe in one. Now for all your knowledge this person asked Jesus to come into their life. You don't know that if they actually did it or not. Now I would say that this person has "lost there faith." From what I know about the once saved always saved they would believe that that person never had the faith. That is what I am trying to say. I think that we just have different ways of saying the same thing. Neither one of us will truly know if that person was truly saved until we get to Heaven and see that they are there. All we can really do is make sure our hearts are prepared and try to get others to follow. God Bless |
