do you believe once saved always saved?

Answer 1

No, because its not biblical for one and we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Sin is ever before us and we strive to live a Holy life in Jesus Name.

Answer 2

No, I don't. I used to be a Jehovah's Witness and they don't teach 'once saved, always saved'. Although I am no longer a JW, I still agree with them about that.

The only exception that JW's make in this regard is to their Governing Body. Although they believe that the individual men on the body could fall into sin, and become "unsaved", they believe that the GB as a whole is incapable of proving unfaithful. In other words, even though each individual person on the body could fall into sin, it could only happen to a minority of these men at the same time, because the majority of the body as a whole CANNOT be anything but 'faithful and discreet'. They feel that this "slave" has already been judged, was "saved" and cannot become "unsaved". Therefore, they must follow the direction of the Governing Body of the 'slave', because the slave is always faithful, always saved.

Answer 3

Matthew 24:13, Revised Standard RS Version: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.)

Philippians 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)

Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)

Answer 4

Various denominations have differing opinions about this. Baptists believe once saved always saved. Personally, I believe a believer can fall from Grace. But God will welcome you back with complete love, just like in the story of the prodigal son.

Answer 5

Jesus said "he that has endured to the end will be saved" Matt 24

Heb 10:25 says if we practice sin after knowing the will of God, there is no forgiveness left.

If we say we believe then we are under obligation to go on walking the way Jesus walked.

Jesus died faithful

Answer 6

No, i would not agree. A lot of things change over the years as you grow up and most people get saved in the church when they are growing up and then slowing stop believing and attending.

Answer 7

No. Because you may go back to the shop the following day and the prices have gone up again. So on that day you haven't saved.

Answer 8

No, for example, I don't think that if George Bush was ever "saved" that he would be saved after ordering a war causing thousands of people to die.

Answer 9

No, because the Apostle Paul said that we're all "apt to sin" and that "we die daily", meaning that because we've renounced sin doesn't mean we've lost the CAPABILITY to sin! "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". "We die daily" means that we're still human, though we're saved, so that human nature has to be put to death as in the verse that says in part, "Mortify ye the deeds of the flesh". If it were only necessary for us to be saved one time and still qualify for Heaven, why would we have to continually "Mortify" or "kill" the deeds of the flesh?

Answer 10

no because even a saved person has the choice to sin even after they've been saved
