The true church is not the roman Catholic church for we know that the roman emperor had all the apostles killed then miraculously decided to become Christian and proclaim himself grand pumba named pope

So if a person that claims to be eternally saved
takes the mark of the beast of Revelation,
He will be eternally lost
ergo
once saved always saved is not Bible truth.
I am of the seal you see in my avatar that is my bloodline my tribe the times are upon us i seen the end times but the harlot received her mark already in the 1400 in constintanople a predeceding sign to whats coming
Probably many of us are annoyed by threads being started with false statements, like OSAS is of satan. Then it is in our face all the time while we present scriptural proof how that if you are saved you are saved!
The reason why this denial is heresy is that it denies the very concept of salvation and that the Lord Jesus is our Savior. Those who take that route have distorted the meaning of salvation and savior. Such a denial is evidence that a man does not trust Christ as His Savior. But salvation is something we must have; we will not receive validation of our life's works.
To be sure, grace is an offense to the pride of man, since a corollary of grace (favor contrary to what we deserve) is the depravity of man. This explains why men despise grace, the idea that eternal life is a free gift to those who trust Christ as Savior. Men do not want to admit the depth of their depravity. But the idea that after judgment a man would be validated on the basis of his life's works and then do God a favor by entering Heaven, is a serious error. Man must have salvation, not validation of life. We must admit that our depravity is so profound that we must be saved by grace.
Salvation is not something one receives after an examination and judgment of works, salvation starts with a new birth and includes eternal life right now in this life. "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
Rom 8:
For whom
he foreknew,
he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom he foreordained, them
he also called: and whom he called, them
he also justified: and whom he justified, them
he also glorified.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He Who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not also with him freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written,
For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is a biblical truth that comes with a condition - abide in the Father and the Christ always.So if a person that claims to be eternally saved
takes the mark of the beast of Revelation,
He will be eternally lost
ergo
once saved always saved is not Bible truth.
No not at all there is much to come constintanople was a mere sign to the greater event . Like the pharaoh and his army killed at the river , later to take place again in Armageddon . Being the Lords supper . Then the final piece satan cast into eternal torment but the Lords supper is the eventso you believe Revelations in it's entirety already took place or what?
That is a twisted logic, sir.
Once we repent and acknowledge Christ's sacrifice and passion, we would then be offering ourselves to the Lord via obedience and submission to him.
You say that we cannot obey God of our own accord. That is a twisted logic; common sense tells us that our free-will allows us to either obey or disobey God.
It's true that our works are useless if done in a state of mortal sin, but our good works, if done in obedience to the Lord's commands, can be very pleased to God. Review Simon's conversion; Paul's preaching/debating.
Paul, by the dictations of the Lord, spread the good news far and wide; debating skeptics of all environments; educating the peoples. The Lord guided him, and Paul listened.
Should Paul's obedience not be awarded? Keep this in mind: If Paul haven't bothered to take the time and effort to educate people, then those people would still be in the dark about Christ.
Paul made salvation easier for both himself and others by his good works, which were done via obedience and submission to God's will.
To those who said they got tired of those in church who were "getting saved over & over" as to prove OSAS true...... not a single hypocrite's life has any ability to teach truth to us. Their "witness" is useless & vain.
If the evidence was overwhelming then you'd be able show where the Scriptures teach it, but you can't.
The passage you quoted from John 6 is speaking of the apostles.
Butch whether it be OSAS, sabbath, catholicism.....false doctrine imbibers don't take Paul's word for anything.
It seems pretty clear that they cast off the Lord and followed after Satan. What's really scary is that one time on another forum I had a guy arguing that they were still saved even having followed Satan. It's amazing what some will say to protect those favorite doctrines.
It's Angela!
And I know all about context from the numerous courses in Seminary I took on Hermeneutics! As I said, I have read the Bible over 50 times, and each time it confirms eternal security. When we are born again, we are God's children. A good parent never gives up on their child, and God is the best parent possible.
"The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith. [SUP]25 [/SUP]But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, [SUP]26 [/SUP]for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3:24-26
"But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name," John 1:12
I will leave it to you to read those verses in context - which not only means within the chapter, but the book, the Testament and the Bible and in light of what Jesus Christ did for us. Context also means in light of who the book was written to, and the time and culture of the people. It does not mean you pull random scriptures out to prove a point which is not in the Bible.
