Subject: What are your views of once saved always |
Bible Note: The church can not lose its salvation because it has no salvation. Only the individual has salvation. I see that in Revelation 2:5 that the church may lose its place in importance or in influence over the lost world. Revelation 1 20 “the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches” Revelation 2 5 “I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,” And if you are saved that dose not mean that you will never sin again, but when you do you must ask for forgiveness and repent of that sin. John 13 10Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." I believe that Peter is talking about lost people that known the way of salvation but reject it. 2 Peter 2 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. |
