Can Christians lose Their Salvation?

Answer 1

Hello and yes they can God gives us choice we are always free to say NO as Love in order to be love must have the power to say no, Once saved always saved "IF" you stay saved, God bless. www.amazingfacts.org

Answer 2

Salvation is a free gift from God and people can loose it for going back to their old lifestyles and sins. There is nothing you have to do to earn it except believe. It is a gift by Faith Hebrews 11. Luke 1:77,Acts 4:12,Acts 5:31, Ephesians 2:8-22

Christians do sin and when they do, ( 2nd Timothy3:8-10, 2nd Peter 2:1-4) they are to recognize it and repent, make amends to those they have offended. Yes they can loose their Salvation. Revelation 22.

Answer 3

Yes. Once saved always saved is not Biblically supportable.

Case in point -- many people define blasphemy as knowing the actions of the Spirit and knowingly attributing it to Satan. This means the person must already believe and accept, having a relationship with Christ in order to be fit to discern such actions, and then defy them.

In short -- under such a definition, only a Born Agin, Saved, Convicted Christian is capable of Blasphemy... the unforgivable sin.

Answer 4

Yes, if they did not continue in faith. The doctrine that says "Once save, you are forever save no matter what you do is a total blasphemy.

4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because[b]to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (Hebrews 6:4-6)

For where we sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries. (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Answer 5

this goes to personal belief which will differ from person to person . what is salvation in the mind of the individual seems like the first step in understanding this question for each.
In other words if you can't define salvation how can define how it could be lost.
peace

Answer 6

I would say no. 1 John 5:13 says " These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may KNOW that you HAVE ETERNAL life". Notice the 3 words I have capitalized. You HAVE(present tense, right now) ETERNAL life. You cannot HAVE ETERNAL life NOW and lose it somewhere down the line. If you lose it then it was not eternal. It was some kind of temporal life but not ETERNAL, not if you lost it. A christian is supposed to have eternal life right now and he's supposed to KNOW that he has it right now. Some christians will argue that eternal life is not a quantity of life but a quality of life. It is a different quality of life but certainly it is also a quantity of life. It's eternal. Therefore, you will never lose it if you have it.

Answer 7

I expected EVERYONE to say NO, with the exception of a few...

Once saved, always saved, IS a biblical principle.

God isnt an indian giver!

To the person who said if a person was always saved they could do the unforgivable blashpheming the Holy Ghost, that is NOT true.

First of all, if your saved, you would know that the Holy Ghost is REAL. Blahpheming him is DENYING him. How can you DENY something that dwells WITHIN you? You cant, therefore, if you are "saved" and deny the Holy Ghost, you are not, and have not, ever been saved.

Answer 8

Rev 3:5 He that overcomes, *he* shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. (Darby)

Hebrews 10:26-27 26For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

Salvation as it states numerous times depend upon enduring till the end through severe tribulation.

All this nonsense about once saved always saved is evil doctrine taught by deceivers and people who have been mislead.

Answer 9

Samson did.
He regained it at the end though.
Others think that it would mean that the repentance wasn't genuine in the first place.
I think an initial promise taken in your youth won't cover you if you don't honour your commitment to that promise, as one of the people above me said: walk the walk not just talk the talk.

Answer 10

yeah but if they lose their salvation its only because they no longer believe in the salvation through jesus, so are no longer christians anyway...
