Bible says we receive Christ Through Personal Invitation "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, i will come into him. (revelation 3:20)
Most church preach that if we sincerly invite Jesus Christ into our lives, by faith through prayer, we have eternal life. Lets say, one point in a person's life, he or she really experience Jesus Christ love for them, faithfully served at church and were growing spiritually. however something happened, and that person falter alway. then from that moment, that person never bothered about his or her relationship with God. They lost faith and love for Jesus Christ. Doe that person have eternal life?
Lets say a person really experience Christ love, served at a church for long time, and everyone thinks that person is really loving the Lord, and bearing fruit. However Bible says not everyone who preach in Jesus name, doing wonders will eternal life. (somewhere in matthew) what does that mean?

Romans 10:9
Once you are Born-Again (Your Spirit has been Recreated by The Holy Spirit)
the only Way to Loose that Born-Again Spirit (mess it up Again Big Time, no more Chances of Salvation)
Is to Commit the Unpardonable Sin.
Hebrews 6: 4,5,6 is the Unpardonable Sin.
You have to do 5 things BEFOR you can Even Commit the Unpardonable Sin.
Rule of Thumb:
If your Scared you have Committed the Unpardonable Sin---YOU HAVE NOT.
AnyBody who Commits this Sin dosen't Want to go to Heaven AnyMore, or have AnyThing to do with Jesus, The Bible, Church, etc..
It Takes Time to Commit the Unpardonable Sin. GOD will Give you Many Chances to Come Back to HIM befor you get to the Point Where "You can Even Commit it".
Hope this helps.

You cannot understand this without the Holy Ghost. You should pray and receive the Holy Ghost for true understanding. Here is my best explanation.
Essentially: at "judgment time" everyone who has ever lived will exist in body. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Lord. At that time it will be so obvious that everyone will believe in both God and the Messiah.
Not everyone who believes in Jesus will be saved, but, everyone who believes will have everlasting life. Satan, for example, has ever lasting life. There will be no denying Christ.
Those who are prepared, who have readied their heart, will "graduate" to Heaven. The "goats" will be culled from the "sheep".
This will be similar to "graduating" from "School". If you realize that you make mistakes (are a sinner), realize what those mistakes are and learn from them (repent), you will become a better person and will "graduate".
If you think you know everything, refuse to learn and stagnate in your own understanding you will be "expelled".
That is not perfect, but, it is about as close as I can explain it.

Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
I believe that says it all.If you have repented of your sins, and been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit, and then you walk away there is no more chance...

There are many false teachers out there...that is wahy all of The Faith are to study for themselves... Can Salvation... True Salvation... be lost ... NO... can one of The Faith Weaken... yes of course... and many do... myself included... can my Salvation be lost... NO... that is a pwersonal promise to me from God... To answer all of you statement would take much more room than even YA allows....
If one who was fervantly preaching God's Word is now deliberatly and strongly speaking against God's Word and Will and deniying God and Salvation... then that one was a deceiver or was deceived... and never was "saved"
It is a complex subject and there are many false prophets out there... I invite you to my website. there you will find a page on who is a Christian... if you have a question concerning The Faith feel free to contact me from the site.

God wants a personal relationship with us. If your a Christian and fail to do that one thing He will say He never knew you. Even though you may be dragging yourself into the ground spreading the word and setting the captives free. All our righteous acts are like filthy rags. God's main purpose for creating us was to fellowship with us.
Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

precisely stable "question" or what ever this is. For god so enjoyed the international that he gave his basically begotten son, so as that whosoever believeth in him shall no longer perish yet have ever lasting existence. people think of that ifyou be "genuine to your self" you are able to enter the dominion of heaven. yet you are able to basically obtain salvation by using Christ Jesus our lord and saviour. Jesus is the way, the certainty, and the existence. no person could come to the father different than by using him.

No
You can lose your salvation, and you do once you fall away.

''We are sure ""
You are not sure. You believe. There's a huge difference.
