Bible Note: So what you’re saying is that if a born again Christian, a leader amongst God’s people becomes a murderer, an adulterer, that they’re still safe? Rev 21:8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. Now you might say “Well that person never really had a Working Faith”. Didn’t he? I think that he did. His name was David and he was called a man after God’s own heart. One of the sins listed for those who’s place is in the lake of fire is murder. Another is immorality. Both of which David was guilty of. Both of which David had to be forgiven. Now David will be in heaven, we know that. But if he had not confessed and repented? How about king Saul? He was chosen by God. And yet he died a murderer of priests amongst many other sins. According to the two verses above, he’s doomed. David’s little romp with Bathsheba and the resulting murder of Uriah prove that a follower of God CAN lose salvation. And you can’t argue with the Bible. Revelation 22:15 says that murderers will have their place in the lake of fire. Salvation can be lost. |
