Answer 1

Once born of God, born of His Spirit, cleansed by His Blood, joint heirs with King Jesus, part of the family of God; God isn't going to let me go.

If a person is in a pre salvation state yet never confessed Jesus Christ their Lord & Savior with heart faith in the Resurrection, & that person dies, could lose their salvation. Or if a person is very religious in Church, yet was never born of God, then person dies could lose their salvation. Works won't save us, only Christ redeeming blood.

Answer 2

No. Jesus says in Matthew 12:31 that there is nothing under the sun that you can do that he will not forgive EXCEPT for blasphemy of the holy spirit.
"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven" Matthew 12:31
So once you have confessed Jesus Christ and truly believe he was the sonof God, died, and was resurrected, you are saved FOREVER! And don't worry if you are truly saved then you won't ever commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit i.e. denying that the Spirit exists or attributing the Spirit as evil.

Answer 3

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 4

You may refer to Hebrews 10:26

- For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.

Since Jesus sacrificed Himself for our sins and He is the very reason for our salvation, then once there becomes no more sacrifice we revert back to Romans 6:23 with emphasis on the first 7 words.

-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

****So, I will be the lone ranger and tell you. Yes, you can lose your salvation if you sin wilfully and not repent.

Answer 5

In John 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 ". Once a person becomes a true believer , he can not lose his salvation.He may back slide and know he is at fault and repent ,if he doesn't come back then he wasn't a true believer to begin with .

Answer 6

Jesus Christ died for our sins, earning us purely the potential of salvation. His dying reopened the gates of heaven that for the time of the previous have been closed by sin of Adam and Eve. first of all, we ought to continuously be Catholic and persist with Jesus' Church with all the Sacraments He bestowed on it (which includes Baptisim in the call of the daddy, Son and Holy Ghost (no longer Holy Spirit) for us to be greater helpful in a position to stand up to temptation. That, too, is why He died. submit to in suggestions that the massive curtain in the temple develop into torn in a million/2 the minute He died. That develop into the top of the previous Covenant. the hot Covenant is the Catholic Church that went into effect that minute. we are able to 'un-earn' salvation as you call it, by committing even one mortal sin. Then no longer confessing that mortal sin to a catholic priest. We additionally can 'un-earn' salvation by no longer being baptized into the Catholic Church. we additionally will 'un-earn' salvation (lose salvation) by no longer protecting His Commandments. i did no longer make those rules up. God did. all of us p.c. for ourselves how we are able to die and however if in a state of grace (no mortal sins) or no longer. we've been given a unfastened will. that's each and every guy for himself. desire this answer is what you're in seek of.

Answer 7

NO! If you think you "lost" it you were never saved to begin with, for God promises that we are sealed with His Spirit until the day of redemption-- see Ephesians 1 and also read 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.

Answer 8

Salvation is like a Hebrew betrothal into marriage. It is just like BEING married and you are adopted as one of the family. If one is truly born again, you cannot be unborn. But to be truly born again, and experiencing His grace and mercy--I don't know if you could ever walk away willfully.

I have emailed several people who feel they are losing their faith, when it came down to the fact that they were not truly born again, only worshipping a god of their own design--and that god was failing them. Can you lose your salvation? The true meaning of free will says yes. But do not expect to surprise God with your decision. For Jesus said very clearly in John 17:12,

"While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost."

Also remember, that when you put yourself into the care of your Lord, NO ONE can pull you from them.

"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand."

If you stay in Jesus, you have eternal security. However, if you want out, I'm pretty sure you could squirm yourself out. But someone truly born again would never want to go back into the hopeless darkness that Jesus has saved us from again. No way.
