Bible Question:
Good day to you Mike, This is coming from bygraceyearesaved and i sent the previous question concerning the contradiction that you just answered about Romans8:1. I"m addressing the "Once saved always saved" concept I believe Jesus died once and if you look at Romans6:3:5 if we were baptized into his death and raised up in newness of life then you are automatically saved for life.It is your decision to fall back into the world and put your self back into bondage: Look at Galatians4:8-9 By you saying that is a false teaching is like saying Grace does not exist and God has given us the gift of salvation just to take it back everytime we did wrong and then when we do our good "deeds" He will change His mind and give us salvation again.Look at Galatians2:21,Ephesians4:30. If that is the case then Christ died in vain and i surely don"t believe He died in vain!!!I guess once you get the full understanding of Grace then you will not want to sin because you will understand that Jesus Christ dwells in you(Acts17:28). |
Bible Answer: I am agree with mike, if once save is always save, can you tell me that Judas is save? Judas has given even power to heal as one of the desciples: Mt 10:1 ¶ And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Mt 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Mt 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Mt 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Mt 10:5 ¶ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But Judas fall to hand of satan. Apostle paul also told us to work out our own salvation: Php 2:12 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Meaning we have to be wathcfull beacuse satan is like a roaring lion: 1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour Peter talking to his brethren, He warn them to be vigilant so meaning there chance to fall. Here in our country too many congregation that has that kind of believed. But sometimes they ex-cummunicate some of thier members for some terrible reasons. If save is always save, how could you ex-communicate a save person? God bless, Johnny |
