Is this true? "Once saved always saved?"?

Answer 1

Yes, Christ died once on the cross and shed His blood for mankind. If you could loose your salvation, it would be like crucififying him all over again and again.

Answer 2

Yes, it is true, but not in the sense that many Protestants think it is. What Protestants commonly speak of as "being saved" is actually only being on the road to salvation. No-one is saved while they are still alive on this earth, because everyone has free will, and can therefore walk away from Christ at any time, and forfeit salvation. When this happens, Protestants say, well he wasn't really saved in the first place". CORRECT! And neither is anyone else. We are not saved until we enter heaven. The Bible makes this very clear when it states (twice), "he who endures to the end, he SHALL be saved". And once a person is truly saved, that is once he/she is safely home in heaven, THEN he/she is saved forever.

Answer 3

No, this is a false doctrine. It denies the free will that God gave to us to become unfaithful to Him.

The many Bible verses that the "once saved, always save" crowd use to prove their position actually speak of God's faithfulness to us, not ours to God.

In Matthew 10:22, Jesus says "He who perseveres to the end will be saved." If a person is once saved, always saved, there would be no need to persevere.

Answer 4

Well, let's think it through. Something happens in your life, or you read a book (Bible?) that shows you your guilt before the Lord, or you pick up a Chick publication somewhere, and you decide you must, must, must belong to the Lord. You get full-immersion baptized, and come mentally crawling to church in sackcloth and ashes, celebrating the risen Christ who atoned for what would have sent you to Hell.

Now, did you feel a duty there that you could back out of at any time? Or was there a change of heart involved? Who changed your heart? If you changed yourself, then you have a sinful person to rely on for your eternal assurance. If God switched you around, then your assurance comes from God, not you. More things to fall on your knees for, from a Lord that saw you and pulled you to Himself and calls you His own. You might let yourself fall from grace if the heart-change was your call, but if God did the work in your heart, God will not ever let you slip from His hand.

Answer 5

could desire to be a false impression i think while you're saved an you relatively love God an you meant the prayer you prayed then you certainly won't desire to sin. An like i continuously say if certainly everyone grow to be envisioned to no longer sin to be waiting to pass to heaven properly then noone could pass to heaven. Noone is optimal certainly everyone makes errors. i think if u are saved an try an do your maximum suitable by employing his observe then you certainly will pass to heaven. An like somebody reported up there you are able to't be plucked from his hand as quickly as you're saved yet you are going to be able to desire to truly mean out of your heart what you prayed to him to truly be saved.

Answer 6

ive read the bible don't care for it to much thanks to king james (the devil of his time).i believe all responders are wromg,i admit i may be wrong because i'm alone in this but i'll ask what is saved?. if after life is real there are 3 options. life with god,life with daily torment which equals your sins in time,or as if you never existed you will be spit out. saved implies your soul it doesn't say 1 ges to heaven if saved ,you must first have judgment,to see where or which state you will be saved to. sinners that are save may go to hell but not until the sentence is done torment through time and cruelty. heaven hell or die again.

Answer 7

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 8

Once you are Born Again as a new person in Jesus Christ you are always the same. Too many people have associated the being "Saved" concept as a one time decision you make to tell a preacher you want to go to heaven, he prays a prayer with you, you cry a few tears, and wham everything is great. Unless there was repentance, a change of heart, turning away from your sins you are not saved.

Answer 9

This is true, you just have to except it, Repent from your sins,and believe in God and have faith. WE all have once to die, Jesus Christ died to save us alive, from the second death. We will all be judge at the Great white Tower Judgement, Jesus will look in the Book, if your name iis not in the book, you will pay the penity of death for your sins.
Jesus had said " the wages of sin is death" Jesus paid this for us , but we have to except it and stop sinning . we can't keep sinning , it would be like he died foe nothing. He did'nt die so you could kee on sinning.
Come on now dont throw his gift back in his face.

Answer 10

I say no because the Scripture says that we're "....ALL APT (liable) to sin...." That says to me that no matter how long you've been serving God that because you're still a fleshly creature, you can still be tempted by sin. Even Jesus was tempted along the way! But we too have to be bold enough to tell the Devil the same thing Jesus did, "Get thee behind me Satan....."

Answer 11

No, see Acts 8:12-24, an example of someone being lost after being saved.
