Yes, you explained it very well. And, I absolutely agree..

What about the verse in the Bible where Jesus says in Matthew 24:13 that "But he shall who endure to the end shall be saved?"

Does that still highlight OSAS?

Honestly, Once Saves, Always Saved...does confuse me a little bit🤔
Giving our life over to Christ is a life changing experience that needs to endure to the end.

I do not agree with Spurgeon then... and might I add this has been a central theme for you from the start..."perserverance of the saints" as taught by John Calvin and those that ascribe to his dogma.
Nothing is certain in this life regardless of what the OSAS people say.
 
Not judging anyone. No one is on trial here. Do I need to remind you about what YOU said about what saved people do not do?
Remind me if faith

Hypotheticals are dangerous because the do not resemble real life

especially in a salvation thread. It feeds the lawyers

License to sin .... is a reference that sin can and will be committed because we know salvation is unconditional.

However no needs a licence to sin....so once again the term is meaningless.

That means you can do whatever you like.
 
I have more than one. But we’ve already discussed the difference between besetting sin and what John said about a lifestyle of sin. You and I were in agreement about what the apostle John said about Christians and sin. Remember?

That’s what god says

We can not judge though only god can
 
the answer to my question can be found in FIRST JOHN 3:) and other places...

The answer is yes, if I am so sinful that I can leave my wife and live in adultery for the rest of my life, it is POSSIBLE that I have never been saved. Simple and irrefutable
You may have been saved at first....
 
Exactly WHO am I judging here? No one is on trial here. I have not mentioned one name or applied my question to one person. The only one I apply it to is myself. You cannot find one place where I judged anyone.
Sorry I do not see this
I see lawyers taking your words and using them against us
