You either are or are not saved Christ died once for all sin. It is by faith we say we are saved.

Salvation is a one time experience. There is backsliding and
repentance, but that is not a second salvation.
A person can also get saved and then turn their back on the Lord and die in their sins and go to Hell. There are plenty of scriptures to verify that in spite of the Calvinistic belief called
"once saved always saved' OR "eternal security."
The most convincing scripture on that is concerning people trodding underfoot the precious blood of the Saviour after having come to a knowledge of the truth. The greek study on this reveals more than mental assent as the Calvinists claim.
The "knowledge of the truth" is heart knowledge including a verifiable salvation experience.
The best book on the subject in existence was done by a man
who set out to prove eternal security, and after doing an intense study on the subject with scripture to back it up he wrote "Life in the Son" which clearly refutes the eternal security doctrine he set out to defend. The author is Robert Shank, and the book is so convincing that the President of the Southern Baptist Seminary endorsed the book and challenged all his colleagues to refute it and said he didn't believe it could be done. The Southern Baptists are
very strongly set on eternal security, so this is an impressive endorsement.

I was born once ...
Saved ? From what ? ... I don't know what it means, at all. I guess we are already saved, all of us, we come from the light, and sooner or later, we get back to that light. There should be a way to get back there. We are all God's creation, why would it eliminate its creation?.
Born Again ?... in this planet u mean ?... 3 days ago, I was in Puerto Rico, in a place named "la cueva".. A cave of rocks, arriving to the top, my left feet failed, my hands were wet, very, and, when I lost my balance my friend natasha hold my hand and said: "Don't look down, you'll feel acrofobia, just breath deeply, at the count of 3 I'll pull u out. i had one chance for one impulse. I spent 30 minutes repeating: If I fall, pray that I die inmediatly, please". It ain't drama, it happened 3 days ago, 4 days sorry.
Who says that I am a climber, ah ?. I' m too old for this. The thing is that I am back, one feet broken, but happy to be back ... Another christian born again ...

You are only saved once,born again is another term. When David sinned he said God restore unto me the joy of my salvation. You can never lose your salvation but you can lose your joy by rejecting God. Many or called but few are choosen,it is up to us to develop our faith. The Bible teaching us that, with patience if we continue in the book of liberty and do not stop, the word of God gives us faith,thru preaching and teaching and reading. Do not be a forgetful hearer but a doer of the word, work the word and you will gain all. It is not about you it is always about someone else. Your testimony what Jesus did for you not what you do for him.

I find it funny that when you are born again you still are the same age as when you are not! so plastic surgery is coming no matter what! if you are born again you should start out from the beginning!

Everyday can be counted as a new start and a new beginning. Being saved lasts a lifetime.

When you get up in the morning do you have a quota of Christian bashing post that you have to meet or do you just type drivel until you get tired?
If you are so interested in bashing us, you should first at least read the Catechism of the Catholic Church so you will at least know our true beliefs.
Peace!

Jesus died ONCE for our salvation- so I am only saved once. Jesus died for our sins once and for all for our forgiveness- you can be born again through the Spirit and once you are you are ALWAYS saved- hallelujah!!
