NASB | 2 Corinthians 1:22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 1:22 it is He who has also put His seal on us [that is, He has appropriated us and certified us as His] and has given us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to guarantee the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]. |
Bible Question: ok.. I'm a baptist.. and we beleived once you are saved you are always saved... you CAN NOT lose your salvation.. and my Boyfriend chris is also a christian but believes that you can lose your salvation... i thought thats why christ died was to once and for all save us from our sins!? am i wrong??? i need to know if it clearly states somewhere in the bible one way or another.. if you can give me those verses it would help out ALOT! |
Bible Answer: Hello, I am a baptist as well and I firmly believe that you cannot lose your salvation. Think about it this way. If God has the power to save you once. Which I think we both believe he does, then to say that he does not have the power or authority to keep you saved is like sayign that God is not in charge or that we have more power than he does, like we have the final say. And that is not the case at all. I will look and see if I can find you a specific verse. I'll write more later. Hope that helped |
