By saying this, I presume you believe "once saved, always saved." That is not how Christianity works.
Exactly! that's not how Christianity works!
But that
is how salvation works.
Salvation is ETERNAL: Eternal = perpetual; ceaseless; endless
(Titus 1:2) "In hope of
eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"
(1 John 5:11) "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternallife, and this life is in his Son.
(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 eternallife, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
(Matthew 25:46) "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternallife, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. "
(John 3:15) "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternallife."
(1John 2:25) "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternallife."
Salvation is EVERLASTING: Everlasting = lasting forever; eternal
(Daniel 12:2) "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlastinglife, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
(John 5:24) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlastinglife, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. "
(John 3:36) " He that believeth on the Son hath everlastinglife: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. "
(Matthew 25:46) " And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. "
(John 6:40) " And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlastinglife: and I will raise him up at the last day. "
(Luke 18:30) " Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come lifeeverlasting. "
(Romans 6:22) " But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlastinglife. "
(John 3:16) " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlastinglife. "
We are SAVED not Safe: Saved = to keep safe, intact, or unhurt; safeguard; preserve
(Mark 13:3) " And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
(Luke 7:50) " And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. "
(Luke 8:12) " Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. "
(Luke 13:23) " Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,"
(Luke 18:42) " And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. "
(John 3:17) " For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. "
(John 5:34) " But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. "
(John 10:9) " I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. "
(Acts 2:21) " And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "
(Acts 2:47) " Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. "
(Acts 4:12) " Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. "
(Acts 11:14) " Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. "
The point is the list goes on and on. There are thousands of scriptures showing once saved always saved. To deny these scriptures and go with one or two verses out of context to disprove it is wrong and shows a lack of salvation on your part.
