Bible Question: Where are verses to support BOTH sides of the "ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED" debate? |
Bible Answer: The Colossians 1:13 is a good verse for showing that Paul is talking to Christians at Colossae. Verse 22-23 of the same chapter say, "He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and neyond reproach--IF INDEED YOU CONTINUE in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard,..." The chapter shows that the Colossians were indeed saved, and would stay saved if they continue in the faith and remain steadfast. This is a verse to show that Christians need to be diligent lest they "should be disqualified" (1 Corinthians 9:27). Good day. |
