Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 7)

Thank you for joining us once again as we look at the doctrine of Eternal Security, also known as Once Saved, Always.

I hope that this series has taught you, or at the very least caused you to search the scriptures to see what is indeed true regarding this doctrine.

There are plenty more scriptures that we will be looking at in the next coming weeks.

But, as today is the 7th entry into the series, I thought we should pause briefly and once again turn to the very words of our Lord... Christ Jesus of Nazareth.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 6)

Welcome back to our discussion regarding the doctrine of Eternal Security (aka Once Saved, Always Saved).

Or as I like to put it... Once God Saves You, He Keeps You Saved.

Previously, we looked at the possibility of the Holy Spirit leaving us, thereby making us unsaved.

We saw that it can't happen and those who teach that grieving the Holy Spirit will cause Him to leave are teaching false doctrine... whether it be unintentional or on purpose - but it's definitely not what the bible teaches under the new covenant.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 5)

Welcome back to our look into what the bible says about the doctrine of Eternal Security, aka Once Saved, Always Saved.

We've looked at the very words of God and found that it is indeed what He has said. Once He saves us, He does keep us saved.

If this is true though, which it must be seeing as He is God, then where do people get the idea that we can lose or give up our salvation?

Last time, we looked at the idea that man has the ability, by sheer willpower to disrupt the plans and purposes of God.

We saw that it doesn't happen.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 4)

Welcome back to our discussion on whether or not the doctrine of Eternal Security, also known as Once Saved - Always Saved (OSAS), is true.

The last time, we looked at the direct words of God and saw that God Himself says that it is true.

Those whom God saves, He keeps saved.

His sheep don't stay saved because they choose to, but because God chose to save them and keep them.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 3)

Welcome to part 3 of our series on the doctrine of Eternal Security… also known as Once Saved, Always Saved (OSAS).

I believe that once God saves us, He keeps us saved.

I believe that the very nature of salvation is such that you have to believe in this doctrine in order to actually be saved… even if you state that Eternal Security is false.

One has to believe that God forgives all of our sins (literally), even though we don’t literally repent of all of our sins.

So, I want to give a biblical foundation/defence of Eternal Security.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 2)

Welcome to part 2 of our new series on the doctrine of Once Saved, Always Saved.

Before we get into the scriptures, I thought I would give a little background to my belief journey.

First off, I’m not a Calvinist. I’m a Christian. I follow Christ Jesus, not Calvin.

I know very little church history, and very little about the “fathers of faith”, as people like to call them, throughout church history.

It’s not that I don’t believe we can’t learn a wealth of knowledge from these people, but rather that I would rather quote and be convinced of doctrine… from the bible itself.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (part 1)

Once saved, always saved (OSAS) is a statement that for the majority of my walk with Christ, has been declared not true.

The immediate cry from those who disagree with it is that people MUST repent or else they are no longer saved.

Anybody who even dares to consider whether the statement is true or not, is quick to be labelled as someone who believes that once we’re saved we can go on sinning with no problems.

Over the last 4 years or so, I have increasingly come to the realisation that OSAS is actually true. However, I would instead put it this way – Once God Saves You, He Will Keep You Saved.
