Once saved ALWAYS saved...,?

Question

Christians only............., No Mormans, Muslims, or Islamic, whatever your gods are i dont need em'

One cant get saved and go drink and then think that he needs to be saved again, shouldn he just repent RATHER than get saved again, So this states someone is always saved and just should repent,but if one takes the covenant serious he shouldn go drink to begin with

Ok now where in scripture does it state that once saved always saved, or if one messes up should he be saved again???

Answer 1

Yeah, if you stay saved,lol... If you are truly living and seeking God with all of your heart, mind and soul then you won't have anything to worry about. When we mess up, scripture states that we confess up, and repent, and turn from those ways..... However, it is possible for one to fall away...our salvation is not complete until our earthly life has been completed.

He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not "blot" out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Revelation 3:5
- How can Christ blot out one's name if their name was never there. Once we receive Christ our name is written in the lamb's book of life. But this scriptures states that it is "possible" for one's name to be blotted out from the Book of Life.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
Hebrews 6:4-6
-This scriptures shows that it's "possible" to fall away, b/c it clearly states "if they fall away" which constitutes a condition has to be met which invloves a choice. How can one fall away from Christ if they never had a relationship with Him?

These are just a few... The scriptures clearly states that we are to endure in the Faith until the end....it is those who endure until the end that will be saved.

Answer 2

These may help. Consider that they refer to salvation in both the present, past and future tense. I grouped the bible passages by the questions in the link below. It will explain Is it a done deal? Ephesians 2:8–9: Philippians 2:12 Romans 13:11 Rom. 13:11; cf. 1 Cor. 3:15; 5:5 No one could snatch me out of God’s hand (John 10:28): John 10:28 Romans 8:39 John 15:6 Romans 11:22 1 Corinthians 9:27 Not because of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8–9): cf. 2 Pet. 2:20 (Hold fast or you will not be saved) Corinthians 15:1–2, Rom. 1:5, 16:26 Matt. 7:21; cf. Matt. 10:33, 18:35 What’s the history behind the teaching that you could lose your salvation? 1 John 5:16–17 No suggestion of "once saved, always saved" can be found on the lips of any Christian before Calvin.

Answer 3

It is the case that when someone leaves Christ to sin, they must repent in order to return to the condition we call saved.

Let me make this case from several perspectives. First, it is the case that Peter (and others) warned constantly that a saved believer can fall away

2 Peter 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

Here is Paul telling those in Galatia that some of them have fallen from Grace (i.e. they are no longer saved)

Galatians 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Second, it is the case that if one falls away, they must repent to be restored

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Answer 4

Salvation can be lost, check
* Hebrew 2: 1-3, you must take care of the salvation, not neglect it or ignore it.
* Revelation 3: 14-22, here John ilustrates christians being vomited from Jesus' mouth. What is vomit? food that after being eated is expelled out of the body violently. John is writting to the church and warning them to repent and change of their ways or Jesus will expell them out (like a vomit).

For me is clear that those "vomited" will not enter heaven, will the "vomited" christians lose their saved status?

If you say no (saved status not lost), then they will end up saved but in hell.
----
Nevertheless, if you sin after being saved, you need to repent, pray to Jesus and receive His forgiveness. Calling that forgiveness a second salvation event or not is a matter of semantics. Either way, if you start sinning again after being saved and did not repent from that and do not ask Jesus for His forgiveness you will not reach heaven.

Answer 5

Time and again Paul likens the Christian’s course to a “race” that must be run to the finish. “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” he urged the Hebrews. (12:1, AV) To enter the race, sinners must take the steps necessary for salvation: hearing and accepting the Word of God, believing in Jesus Christ and his ransom sacrifice, repenting of their sins and being baptized. In this way, they get saved “from this crooked generation,” as Peter exhorted those gathered at Pentecost. Unbelievers are outside the race, having failed to enter by getting “saved.”Acts 2:37-40.

Once entered in the race by being “saved,” a Christian takes “hold of the life which is life indeed.” But is it possible to lose that grip on life? Paul answers with this question: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize?” In the Christian race, Paul indicates the “one” who receives the prize is anyone who finishes the race. Therefore, Paul urges, “So run that you may obtain it.” Then, using himself as an example to make the point of his illustration, he continues: “I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” 1 Tim. 6:19. "Paul here states that even He could be disqualified"

Evidently the apostle, who surely was a “saved” Christian, believed that even he could be “disqualified” from the race. Yet as long as he continued to ‘run that he might obtain’ the prize, thus remaining in the race, salvation was assured. This is why Christians who remain in the race can be said to ‘have everlasting life.’ But if they should ever quit the race, they are “disqualified,” losing their hold on everlasting life.

Answer 6

I'm guessing you're talking about Baptists or Pentecostals and not all Christians....since not all Christians believe that...I'm also assuming you either haven't read the Bible or don't understand it due to some mental impairment...take a look through the New Testament...it's a little over the 6th grade reading level but I'm sure you will find it...just one of those things that was taken out of context just like the idea of going to confession...

Answer 7

2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I hope that helps.

Answer 8

The problem with Scripture is that there are many verses that all point to different conclusions. That is why so many denominations exist. In the end, you just have to pick a side and then defend it with the verses that fit your perspective.

That is highly unreliable, and one of the many reasons that religions tend to be harmful to mankind.

Choose science and progress, and get out of your destructive tendencies.

Answer 9

Perseverance and preservation of the saints is more Biblical.

Answer 10

What a great religion. As long as you say sorry you can even get away with murder!

No wonder the crusades were so popular.
