Bible Question:
I have been following the Eternal Security (also called Once Saved Always Saved) position for about a year. I have reasons to believe that it is right. But I am still wondering if the Conditional Security view is the right position; is it the Bible's position's and in which case does that mean I made a wrong choice? I welcome your comments that I may be able to make my calling and election sure. |
Bible Answer: Bro Raymond: The next time someone tells you that "one can lose his salvation by taking himself out of God's hands", just ask them the following: John 10:28-29 In what version of the Bible does John 10:28-29 say: 'And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand, BUT WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF GOD'S HAND'? If it is true that we can take ourselves out of God's hand, then according to verse 29, we are greater than God. Rom 8:39 In what version of the Bible does Romans 8:39 say: 'nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, BUT WE CAN SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM HIS LOVE'? In verse 39, if man can separate himself from God's love, then man was not created. It says: "nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God." Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Deut. 4:2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
