ArchivedOnce saved always saved?The author of Hebrews is convinced that his readers are not going to fall away from their faith. The very definition of apostasy is to fall away from the faith, which is not part of salvation and results in the loss of salvation. No, since Jesus is saying that "no man can pluck" the saved from His hand, Jesus did not say that a man cannot walk away from the Lord. In fact Jesus warns us that some will walk away (fall away) from the faith. Actually I am justified in making my claim that those who do not overcome will have their names blotted out of the Lamb's book of life since only the names of overcomers are in the book of life. As to what you posted concerning predestination in your prior post it denies what is plainly taught. Those God foreknew He predestined does not mean He predestined all who reject or walk away from the Lord to destruction. As to your example from Romans Paul uses one man as an example of those whose hearts He has hardened, which you apply to all that reject His gospel. All this demonstrates is God can and does step into human history to accomplish His will. Calvin's concept of predestination denies: If God is not willing that any man should be lost then why would God predestine any human being to reject His path to salvation? You see Beads you have not responded to all the Scriptures I posted therefore to accuse me of not responding to all you post also applies to you. The fact is when taken in its full context from Genesis through Revelation OSAS is not found to be a Biblical doctrine. I have not added anything to Scripture, but OSAS ignores or takes away from what is taught in Scripture. |
