if you are chosen...you are always saved...let us make our calling and election (by Christ) sure and bear fruits worthy of repentance. If you are chosen, you will continually bear fruit from your spirit, although the flesh sometimes does some bad things.
(Joh 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
(Joh 10:28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
(Joh 10:29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
(Joh 10:30) I and my Father are one.
Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Mat 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
Luk 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Act 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
(Joh 3:15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
(Joh 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(Joh 3:17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(Joh 3:18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(Joh 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
(Joh 3:20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
(Joh 3:21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
How do we know that we're saved???
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Look at Jesus's prayer where He is praying for His followers, John 17. Also in Romans 8, the last part of the chapter where Paul is asking what can separate us from His love. It also mentions that He is standing before the throne defending us right now. Also, all over John where it says ETERNAL life. In Galations 4 where it talks about being heirs, being a memberof the family is an always thing. He is not going to disown us for being imperfect, when He died for us while we were still sinners. Also in Ephesians chapter 1, it says He had settled on us. He is more powerful than Satan. Satan can't take us from Him. Greater is He that is in us thanhe that is in the world.

Check out Romans 8:28-30 Those he predestined are ALREADY glorified positionally. The words in Greek are in the Aorist, which means that at the point of selection, those he selected were already justified and glorified.
Not that we don't sin, but in God's eyes, the deal is already done. Check it out for yourself.
With that in mind, check out what Wayne Grudem says about perseverence of the saints. It seems to be the best biblical balance between faith & works.

I feel the first-class option to reply that is via a parable Jesus advised. Jesus talked approximately a person out planting seeds. Some of the seed fell through the wayside from which the birds of the air snatched them up. But others fell on flooring and the seeds started to develop. One form of flooring where the seed started to develop had no truly intensity for the reason that of rocks that blocked the roots. Another form of flooring where the seed started to develop contained weeds, thorns and thistles which choked out the plant that started to develop. Only one form of flooring honestly produced a harvest. I do not feel that is pronouncing that two out of each three Christians will die, however the precept here's that probably the most seed that begins developing into exact crops DO die for exclusive motives. You cannot say that they had been under no circumstances crops, for the reason that the myth says they had been developing after which died. I do not feel that anybody can pluck you out of the fingers of God, however for the reason that of no intensity, the roots do not develop and a Christian can die spiritually, and for the reason that of the cares and riches of this global, a Christian can also be choked out and also die spiritually. I do NOT consider in "as soon as stored regularly stored" for the reason that of what Jesus taught. And rather than "No guy can pluck you out of my Father's fingers" (despite the fact that you'll intentionally bounce out for those who had been loopy adequate to take action), rather than this one Scripture, I do not see ANY scriptures - no longer ONE - that helps "as soon as stored regularly stored." Furthermore, Judas was once a follower, and the satan entered him and he fell from grace. And whilst Jesus was once educating the crowds, they determined that His teachings had been too rough and so they started to stop following Him. Jesus requested the 12, "Will you, additionally, go away?" that means that they would go away. Otherwise Jesus would not even ask.

well i think you need to know the truth. It is NOT once saved always saved.Jesus, at Matthew 24:13 said, "But he that has ENDURED to the END is the one that will be saved." So notice that in order for one to be save he/she needs to live inline with bible principles and endure to the END. So if one has been baptized and turn away from living the right way he is not still saved if the end should come now so reember in order to gain salvation when the end comes you need to continue to live the right way.

There is no "once saved always saved"
If and when you accept Christ, you must strive to live Christ-like. If you fail to temtation and commit sin, you must repent of those sins and try not to do them again. If you do, repent again, ask for Heavenly Father's help in ridding these things from you life. Live by Christ's example and repent when you falter.
No unclean thing can live in the presence of Heavenly Father.

I don't believe in this. My dad is a baptist and he says that-once saved, always saved. I believe your life's works matters and the things you do. You cannot just accept Christ and that's it.
Eccl. 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

there is no such thing. this whole thing about Jesus "dying for our sins" is all a lie. if Jesus was God, or His son, he would be immortal and wouldn't die in the first place. he also wouldn't have to be tortured if he doesn't want to either. besides, if he died for our sins, what is the use of hell? it's like saying to a little kid I'll give you some candy only if you believe that only i gave it to you.
