Subject: Can salvation be lost? |
Bible Note: Country Girl, "Why do Paul, John, James, Jude and Peter write so much about the need to fight the fine fight and hold a good conscience if no risk of losing salvation?" How about so that we "would have a walk worthy of our calling?" (Eph.4:1) The most powerful denial in the above question is that no one, at any time is ever certain of their salvation. And, in my mind, it begs the simple-yet un-addressed question of "How does one know they are saved?" I don't buy the "Proof-Text" responses because CONTEXT is sorely missing! It is my (studied and humble) opinion that the theology you're appearing to endorse, leaves absolutely no confidence that any of us can ever, at any time, know for certain our eternal destiny.
