Answer 1

There is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit - it is rejecting the sacrifice of Jesus

If you wake up tomorrow and believe that Jesus was imaginary and say you were wrong, never change your mind, then die.

You will be unsaved.

Answer 2

Time and again Paul likens the Christian’s course to a “race” that must be run to the finish. “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” he urged the Hebrews. (12:1, AV) To enter the race, sinners must take the steps necessary for salvation: hearing and accepting the Word of God, believing in Jesus Christ and his ransom sacrifice, repenting of their sins and being baptized. In this way, they get saved “from this crooked generation,” as Peter exhorted those gathered at Pentecost. Unbelievers are outside the race, having failed to enter by getting “saved.”Acts 2:37-40.

Once entered in the race by being “saved,” a Christian takes “hold of the life which is life indeed.” But is it possible to lose that grip on life? Paul answers with this question: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize?” In the Christian race, Paul indicates the “one” who receives the prize is anyone who finishes the race. Therefore, Paul urges, “So run that you may obtain it.” Then, using himself as an example to make the point of his illustration, he continues: “I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” 1 Tim. 6:19.

Evidently the apostle, who surely was a “saved” Christian, believed that even he could be “disqualified” from the race. Yet as long as he continued to ‘run that he might obtain’ the prize, thus remaining in the race, salvation was assured. This is why Christians who remain in the race can be said to ‘have everlasting life.’ But if they should ever quit the race, they are “disqualified,” losing their hold on everlasting life.

Answer 3

How did you recognize Christians flow to be with Jesus on the comparable time as they die? given which you learn it in a e book that declares to be inspired by using ability of god? there are fairly a extensive determination books that declare such subject concerns with conflicting tips. Even between Christians many don't have confidence what you state. they have confidence all people who've died in fact proceed to be ineffective until at last such time the be beneficial of Jesus will bypass back and so no guy or female has long previous to heaven yet. so a ways as archives is going apparently that needless to say an comparable project occurs to absolutely everyone after we die. not lots.

Answer 4

I believe that once a person exercises saving faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is forever in the family of God. God never kicks anyone our of his forever family. A number of Scripture passages support this view. For example, in 1 Corinthians 12:13 we are told that at the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ. Once we are infused into the body of Christ, we are never excised from the body. In fact, Ephesians 1:12 and 4:30 indicate that at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, we are permanently "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. At that point, we are God's everlasting property. That seal guarantees that we'll make it to heaven.
Moreover, we read in John 10:28-30 that it is the Father's purpose to keep us secure despite anything that might happen once we have trusted in Christ. Nothing can snatch us out of His hands. God's plans cannot be thwarted (Isaiah 14:24). Further, Romans 8:29-30 portrays an unbroken chain that spans from the predestination of believers to their glorification in heaven.
Another fact we need to keep in mind is that Christ regularly prays for each Christian (Hewbews 7:25). With Jesus interceding for us, we are sucure. (His prayers are always answered!)
Of course, the fact that a believer is secure in his salvation does not mean he is free to sin. If the Christian sins and remains in that sin, Scripture says that God will discipline him or her just as a father disciplines his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11).

Answer 5

there isnt a place in the bible that says we can be unsaved and there is no reason to want to be unsaved. having the word of God in your heart is the best thing. God says that once we believe in him that we cant take it back. personally i dont know why anybody would want to. i love having Jesus in my heart.

Answer 6

Were does it say in the bible that our free will is ever negated while we are on earth?

God granted people free will. In fact, there a couple of times were it talks about believers, true believers, falling away from the faith because of temptations of the world.

Don't believe me - go read the letters of Paul. It's in there. They were being lead away by other religions - namely Pagan. Paul was constantly warning them - least they lose their faith.

If it wasn't possible - I doubt Paul would have been so worked up.

*edit*

Just for clarification it does say no one can snatch you from the hand of God. Which means no one can steal your faith or salvation from you. But this does not mean that you cannot remove yourself.

Answer 7

Forsaking the Lord results in spiritual death.

HEB 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Answer 8

it doesn't say that anywhere in the bible. If you are saved then it isn't possible to be unsaved.

Answer 9

I am a calvinist, i do not believe your name can be erased out of the lambs book of life, but I believe if you talk to a Methodist they may be able to point you in the right direction, with scriture referances to. They believe your salvation can be lost.

Answer 10

I believe if you ask this of God He will. But all sin will be forgiven but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, so blasphemy. Also there is a scripture where Jesus said "I never knew you". These were people doing miracles and such. So either they lost their salvation, or never had it. If they didn't have it, why would they have done the works?
