Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: How does one know one has been saved? If we are saved, can we then just sit back and wait to enter heaven? Hank, you're Baptist? I'm Catholic. We were discussing this exact thing in bible study on Tuesday. The chapter being Obedient Love. It came up after responses to 1 Corinthians 9:23-27. I can't speak for other denominations, but Catholics aren't taught that our salvation hinges on our good works or even prayer and/or bible reading. However it's very easy to see how someone might come to this conclusion. There is an instance in Exodus where the Lord is angry with His people and would destroy them but Moses pleads for another chance. That would be me. Standing before the Lord begging for another chance. How did our two denominations branch so extremely? Lisa |
