Bible Note: I guess I didn't make myself clear. I'm talking about Eternal Security, or as most call it "Once saved, always saved." I'd say this concept clearly failed Ananias and Sapphira miserably. Where was their Eternal Security? I'm saying let's see some specific proof of this very focused idea that once you are considered part of God's family of christians, there's absolutely no way you can lose that salvation. Please show me Book, Chapter and verse proving that this is an absolute benefit from God. Of course you understand, I'm talking about God's saving us in spite of what we do after we're in Christ. So for example if a christian goes back to his previous life of sin, mudering, stealing, lying, cheating, etc., God assures him and all of us that He'll just say on Judgment Day, "Come on in, my Son's blood wasn't all that important after all. I really did want all of my children to come home anyway." Or some semblance of that sentiment. I'm hoping this makes my query a little more clear. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
