According To The Bible, If You're A Believer, Jesus Said, "If Ye Continue In My Word, Then Are Ye My Disciple In Deed, And Ye Shall Know The Truth And The Truth Shall Make You Free".. (John 8: 31,32)....You Can Also Fall From The Grace Of God According To (Heb. 12: 14, 15).......To Answer Your Question, Once Saved Always Saved...NO!....One Has To Keep In Step With GOD!.....Read Your Bible Concerning This Subject!

I don't think we are anywhere near the end of days. I was saved when I was young and gullible. Now I have a lot of doubts. The Bible doesn't agree with what I was taught as a Catholic. I'm one of the saved who jumped out of the lifeboat to save myself. I know I'm not going to hell because there is no hell. That's all part of the devil story. It made sense when people were a lot more superstitious. According to th bible I'll return to dust. I can live with that if that's what God wants.
I don't know what makes people copy something from the bible and post a long answer that nobody reads. If you have an opinion of your own I'm willing to read it. If I wanted to read the bible I wouldn't be here. I think it's the loonies that are giving religion a bad name. People want answers not quotes. Nobody's going to read this far down because of the bible freaks who can't form an opinion and jam the place up with copy and paste mentality.

Choosing to live a lifestyle of the world after salvation is not an option. You are saved by Christ blood and will be saved forever, BUT it gives you no right to do what you want to do. Unless you remain in Jesus then you will stray for Him, feel empty inside and it's all because you didn't obey God. You reep what you sow. You will still be saved. But it is not worth being miserible by disobeying God.
I have strayed from God many times in my life, and It always leads to emptyness, depression, and unhappiness. If I would have obeyed God I wouldn't have to go through with That. I try everyday to be rightious, if I didn't I would have no relationship with God.
Did you know that you can be saved, and not have a relationship with God? If you don't spend time with Him then you don't know Him, and you will have to answer for that. It's painfull to walk into sin and stray, but God has alway brought me back, when I asked Him. And I am thankfull for His mercy. If once truly saved always saved wasn't true, I would have been in hell a long time ago.
God, unlike man, keeps His promises and He is faithfull, even when we are unfaithfull.
"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved."-Romans 10:9
There is no such thing as un-saved, it is never mentioned in the Bible.

Yep.
BEASTS
In Dan.7:2-8 we have 4 great beast come up from the sea. Sea, that is peoples of the earth. The first 3 beasts co-exist when the 4th beast rises. The 1st beast is Great Britain and the United States. The 2nd beast is Russia and communism. The 3rd beast is camouflaged with spots. It has 4 heads or hidden dynasties. (PEER) Politics, Economy, Education, and Religion. 2 sets of wings which is media and communication. The 4th beast is the same as the beast of Rev.13:1-2. It is a one world system or new world order. This beast is still rising out of the sea. It will have 7 heads or dominions, 10 horns or leaders. Then will come up a little horn which is AntiChrist.
APOSTASY
In II Thes.2:3 there will be “a falling away” first, apostasia in Greek. This is defection from truth or divorcement from God.
PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE
In Matt.24:32-34 Mark 13:28-30 the generation which sees this fig shoot “set up” will not die until all these things be fulfilled. This happened when Israel became a nation again May 15, 1948. This coincides with the baby-boomer generation and they have Grey hair.
WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE
In Matt.24:3-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11.
Many shall come in my name (authority) saying I am Christ (Christian) and shall deceive many.
The best example of this is the so-called Rapture. This is a LIE which can easily be disproved by God’s Word. Christ returns at the seventh trump.
Wars and rumors of war.
Nation shall rise (rouse from obscurity) against (along side) nation kingdom against (along side) kingdom.
The words “shall rise” (eg-i'-ro) in Greek means “rouse from obscurity”.
This word “against” (epi) in Greek means “along side” not in opposition to.
Since 1990 (30) new countries have emerged. We now have the global market place or the global community.
Famines. Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
This famine of hearing the words of the LORD is very apparent on TV. Maybe a verse or two then mans’ words for 20 minutes.
Pestilences. Aids, mad cow disease, bird flu and etc.
Earthquakes in diverse places.
This word “earthquakes” (seismos) in Greek means both “earthquake and tempest”.
Look at the hurricanes we have been having.
All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs).
This word “sorrows” (odin) in Greek means “birth pangs of childbirth”.
The birth pangs of a new dispensation, and the contractions are getting closer together. The water may have broke during the tsunami of 2004.
SCOFFERS
II Pet.3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, II Pet.3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
PERILOUS TIMES
II Tim.3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. II Tim.3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, II Tim.3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

There is no such thing as once saved always saved. This is a journey and you must constantly pray/ study in order to remain sinless in this world. We are in the flesh and we constantly need strength through prayer and worship. Just a little, I could keep going but it would take a while.

I believe that we are in the end of days! What is happening now in this world is more than eneough. It is totally against God's wishes!
It is so different from the past. People are doing a lot of sins beyond expectations. It must be that God is exhausted of we human beings and the only way to punish us severely, is to keep this world ending, so that he punishes us severely the day we are back to life again in glorry land! Except for those who followed him sincerely will never be punished!

Not me! Once you are saved you must work to remain that way. Why do you think Paul, 'there yet remains a work for us to do?' Don't think that just because you are saved that the devil can't come against you. That is when he comes the strongest. Because, if he can get you to sin, and keep you believing that you are yet saved then he has brought open shame upon Christ.

God cannot lie, and once you are saved, you are. I think the world looks like the end because many prophesies are coming true, as israel reunited in 1948 and the battle in the mid-east, all prophesies have to be fulfilled for this to happen.
Once you are saved the holy spirit comes into you to guide you to make right decisions from wrong, you come to live as a christian and be kind to others, forgive and love.

I do. Jesus didn't die for us so that we could accept him and then fall out of grace! Good grief! That would stink! Especially considering that nobody's perfect and he knows that. I believe once you are saved, that's it. Now that doesn't give us the ticket to go out and do what we want. We will all be judged according to what we do for him up until that day.

I feel that we are at the end of our days. If you read the book of Revelations, lots of things are happening today like described then.. It's scary, but I feel that I am saved, living the I'm supposed to, so I'm not worried. I have also been reading the Left Behind series. It's fictional, but interesting.... Look them up in your Libaray....
