As a Christian can you lose your salvation and if so at what point do you lose it?

Answer 1

No one can "lose" their salvation. In the OSAS debate the argument alwayls boils down to whether or not a person was truly "saved" to begin with.

In other words, was someone born again by the Holy Spirit and sealed by God unto the day of redemption?

Were they someone who went to church and made a profession of faith and perhaps even served in a ministry but like the seed that was planted among thorns, did they love the things of this world more than God because they did not have the Spirit of God dwelling in them?

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Answer 2

If you are a true Christian, then you can not lose your salvation. In my life time there has been 3 people who have said that they were Christians. And acted as if they were, but their hearts were revealed. So in those cases, they were never really Christians to begin with! Hope that helped.

Answer 3

I believe, trusting God and Lord Jesus, that if you're a True Born Again Christian, you can't lose your salvation.
Eph 4:30; 1Co 1:8; 1:30; Romans 8:1-2; 8:28-35; Eph 1:13.

Besides, how can a True Born Again Christian loses their salvation; when God said;
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

For salvation belongs to God even Lord Jesus, so if He saved us by His grace who can take that salvation away from us, Romans 8:35?
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called. That once you're saved by the grace of God by the power of the blood of the Lamb of God, Lord Jesus, you are preserved through Him. Amen.

I believe, a True Born Again Christian can lose their rewards;
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Amen.

Answer 4

He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. (Book of Matthew 12:30-32)
