Can You Lose Your Salvation Once Gotten?
Eternal security is one
teaching that most people who believe in Jesus Christ hold that they cannot lose their salvation no matter what.
It is also regarded as many to
be "once saved, always saved," (OSAS).
On the other
side, many believe and also insist it is possible for Christians to
"fall from grace"
and go to hell instead
of heaven.
This debate has been on since
the Reformation, 500 years
ago.
Some Verses on Eternal Security
One of the most compelling
arguments for eternal security is based on when eternal life begins. If it
begins as soon as a person accepts Christ as Savior in this life, by its very
definition, eternal means "forever":
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and
they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no
one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and
the Father are one.” ( John 10:27-30, NIV)
A second reason is; is Christ
sufficient-sacrifice on the cross? Did He pay the penalty for all of a believer's sins?
"In him we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he
lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." ( Ephesians 1:7-8, NIV)
A third argument is that
Christ continues to act as our Mediator before God in heaven:
"Therefore he is able to save completely those
who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for
them." ( Hebrews 7:25, NIV)
A fourth argument is that the Holy Spirit will always finish what he started
in bringing the believer to salvation:
"In all my prayers for all of you, I always
pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day
until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will
carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." ( Philippians 1:4-6, NIV)
Verses Against Eternal Security
Christians who think believers
can lose their salvation also say they have several verses that say believers
can fall away such as:
"Those on the rock are the ones who receive
the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a
while, but in the time of testing they fall away." ( Luke 8:13, NIV)
"You who are trying to be justified by law
have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." ( Galatians 5:4, NIV)
"It is impossible for those who have once been
enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy
Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the
coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to
their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him
to public disgrace." ( Hebrews 6:4-6, NIV)
People who do not hold to
eternal security cite other verses warning Christians to persevere in their faith:
"All men will hate you because of me, (Jesus
said) but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." ( Matthew 10:22, NIV)
What does the Bible have to say regarding this
The Bible also says that we should be careful of
people who will come teaching the wrong things other than what He(Paul)
preached. The problem of false doctrine began from the days of scripture where
the Pharisees preached the Old testament and did not accept the teachings of
Moses.
These false teachers withstood Moses such as Joses
and Jambress. But they shall proceed no further.
Anyone who preaches that you cannot be saved
forever is not saved and therefore do not accept their teaching.
They are in it for the money and they cannot be
trusted. Their God is their belly and their belly is their God. They through
wanton speaing mae merchandise of people and exploit them.

The Christ-hope you have
The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.
The kind of hope you should have should be based in Christ and not be the solution of money.
These days, as the bible puts it, would be based on several things as lust for money (1 Tim.6 :3-5).
The love of money is a spirit of the end-time coming from a craving from pride and a lot of things that the world offers because of its nature.
The world is a natural place for the |God of this world( the devil).

Why you, solfard and John 3:16 doesn't matter to God?
The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.
Solfard does not require so many words to get to the bottom of this concept at all.
Seyi Oronigbagbe or you or solfard doesn't matter to you or God at all.
Why you (many people like solfard) will be doomed or not is not going to matter based on why they did something they don't know.
God "...the Father of lights...."(Col 1:13) and the lover of the world (John 3:16) is not parochial or doesn't show favouritism (Acts 10: 34).
If he were to be the just one, God, He would not require so many kinds of complex algorithms to judge mankind.
Just one thing is needful to judge mankind; whether you are born again or not. Whether you have the Holy Spirit or not. Or"..... whosoever is born of God has overcome the world
....."
One victory you have over this world is one you have in Christ. You are not of this world. You are an ambassador of Christ.

The seal of the spirit
The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.
The seal of the spirit is what makes the believer accepted before God as a sign of birth.
The mark of the spirit is one as the seal of the spirit. They cannot be distinguished, because, the reason something can be said to belong to a person is its signature.
One of the evidence of being saved is by the spirit of God seen working in you and not on you. It shows if you are God-sanctified or not. A child of God or not.
His offspring by the spirit cannot but elicit the mark of the spirit.
Let me emphasize that Adam was a living soul who did not have the spirit. The nature of his soul is seen as one who lived in the world and not heavenly.
Praying in the spirit, praying in tongues and prophesying are marks of the believer as the mark of the beast is for anyone who has not accepted Christ.
In the book of the revelation of John the word "seals" and "the marks of the beast" and "saints" are equal in weight.
So, if you are a Christian you can't possess the mark of the beast any longer.
The proof text for many is observed in the Old Testament text which says that, "I will say of you on that day, I never knew you...you workers of iniquity.....We have prophesied in your name,... showing that you can prophesy and not be a Christian.
Furthermore he said, "...I never knew you...." meaning they were at no time saved. Once you've been saved you are saved forever

Why I don’t sleep at night
The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.
Seems to me we want the juicy story of a lifetime.
ALRIGHT, I sleep at night because I rest on Jesus' everlasting arms. And I don’t sleep equally, wanting to know how to care for the church.
Paul simply said that, "the well-being of the churches rested on his mind; per time.
He always wanted- a place, where all members within his reach and beyond; would get the attention of his insight and "strenghtening".
The most relevant to Paul was how he would expand the doctrine of Christ on earth-where uttermost and uppermost possible.
He traversed the lenght of the Roman Empire as at his time of life.
My most definite take on his nature is how at his age he could attain such feat.
He was one of a kind, I must say. To accept a very demanding job of beatings and stripes at the time when one of these would lacerate your skin is not for the faint in heart.
If there is someone who motivates me more, I think I want it to be the attainment of such feats.
