Subject: Can a person lose salvation? |
Bible Note: I would agree with that. If a person becomes saved and then refuses to "follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. 6:3) he CAN loose his salvation. Hos. 4:6 also states that the saved (God's people) can be destroyed because they reject the knowledge given to them. Even Heb. 6:4-6 (especially verse 6) shows that Jesus CANNOT be crucified a second time. Once the first time has been accomplished (accepted) a second repentance is impossible. Now I know that a righteous man falls many times (Prov. 24:16) yet gets back up again. This text in Heb. 6 (also Heb. 10:26-27) would then indicate a falling away and a REFUSAL to repent from it. |
