Who here does not believe "Once Saved Always Saved"?
Posted : 23 Jan, 2019 09:49 PM

This idea of "once saved always saved" apparently comes from Calvinist lines of thinking and is even taught very strongly among non-Calvinist Baptists.

But the Bible says:

When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Ezekiel 33

Life in Christ: Works or Faith, Law or Grace
Posted : 23 Jan, 2019 09:37 PM

We are saved by grace on condition of our works.



If we continue in sin, Christ will not save us by his blood but cast us into Hell where we belong. This includes the sin of pride, trusting in what good we have done to cleanse our sin, instead of trusting God's grace.



Also if we break the least commandments we are still under grace, but we are the least in God's eyes (though we may be greatly righteous in man's eyes). But if our righteousness does not exceed that of the Pharisees who were murderers and adulterers, we are not under grace.
