Ukutsgp: this is a lie raised to the power of thousands. dnt be deceived, those that die in their sins will perish. d wages of sin is death according to d bible. [/quote] you say those that die in their sin abi? for your information no christian is a sinner, so the issue of christians dying in their sin is totally out it is unbelivers (non christians) that are sinners, they are the people that will die in their sin if they refuse to join christianity ( believe in Jesus ) we christians have been made righteous through Christ. please don't ridicle the effort of Jesus christ who has cleansed us Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie (through my imperfection) unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? i don't know whether you are understanding these scriptures you are quoting. I told you, those scriptures is only advising us not to commit sin, the issue of salvation or eternal life is out of it ,salvation is a seperate thing entirely away from the advice OK,just point to me were it is written clearly that if a Christian commit sin he will go to hell fire Just show me the Scripture, because this one ehh.. lol |

paxonel:if a christian commit adultery, fornication for instance that christian will be unclean. for dat person to be made clean again, he has to confess his sins and forsake them. then he will be washed with d blood of Jesus. that is what d bible teaches. besides, grace should not be used as a cloak to sin. we must forsake sin or we perish. cos sin brings death. 1 Like |

paxonel: Once saved, always saved" is a tempting doctrine because it is comforting. It tells people what they would like to hear. We would all like to think that, even if we or our loved ones fall into sin, they will still receive eternal life. But it is a false doctrine because it clearly contradicts Scriptures in nearly every book of the Bible. It is also a dangerous doctrine because it leads people to think they are safe even if they don't examine their lives, don't study the Bible, and don't repent of sin. Furthermore, it leads preachers to not warn sinners that they need to repent. I have personally known people who told me of terrible sins they deliberately and knowingly committed, justifying themselves because they believed it would not affect their salvation. I have known teachers who justified those very people saying that they would not have lost their salvation even when committed those sins. Suppose a child is about to cross a busy street. Shouldn't the parent warn the child to look carefully for traffic before they cross the street? People who advocate "once saved, always saved" are like a parent who not only does not warn the child, but worse yet tells him there is nothing to worry about because he can't get hit, and if he does get hit, he won't die! Why should the child be warned? Because there is a very real danger. And the situation is most dangerous if the child is not on guard. The worst thing anyone can do to the child is to tell him there is no danger. Yet that is exactly what preachers do when they teach "once saved, always saved." And this has eternal consequences, because souls are at stake. Nevertheless, if the child is careful, he can cross the street safely despite the danger. So the best favor anyone can do for the child is to warn him of the danger, so he can avoid it. That is exactly what we do when we preach the Bible passages that warn Christians to avoid sin. It is not that we believe Christians have no security, but we know people are only secure when they are aware of the dangers, so they can be on guard. 1 Like |

@paxonel. Romans 6:1. shall we continue in sin because of grace? d answer is no. what if we continue? Romans 6:12-13. shall we allow sin to reign in our mortal bodies? the answer is no. what if we allow sin? should we yield our bodies as instrument of sin? the answer is no. what if we yield our bodies? Galatians 5:19-21. shall people who commit those thing enter heaven? the answer is no what if a christian commit any of them? |

Numerous passages are cited which say we have eternal life: John 10:28; 17:3; 5:24; 3:36; 6:47; 3:16; I John 5:12,13. Some argue that, if we have it, and if it is eternal, then we cannot lose it. If we do, it wasn't eternal. We have eternal life now only as a promise or hope. 1 John 2:25 - This is the promise He has promised us, even life eternal. James 1:12 - The crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love Him. Titus 1:2; 3:7 - The hope of eternal life, which God promised . We receive eternal life, in the sense of a present possession, only after earthly life is over and then only if we endure faithfully till life is over. Luke 18:30 - We receive eternal life "in the world to come." Romans 2:5-7 - Eternal life will be given at the judgment IF we continue patiently in well doing. [This is the same time that the wicked will receive eternal punishment - Matt. 25:46. Does this happen in this life?] Revelation 2:10 - Be faithful until death and receive the crown of life. In this life, we "have" eternal life in the sense of a promise or a hope based on faith. But we actually enter eternal life at the judgment if and only if we continue living faithfully till life is over. This is a conditional promise. We will be lost if we fail to meet the conditions. |

Ukutsgp: Yes,i. back now. sorry i was away doing other things ahaaaah aaha, you are funny o i now understand your fears OK, i think this is the clear reason why christians in Africa are not growing because they want to remain children where they will continue to be controlled and God is not happy with that your fear is that if you tell them that they are saved once they will be happy (by the way who gave you power to deprive people of their happiness, are you kill Joy or satan or something? ), because they are happy they will be tempted to commit sin (so you want to be the one to control them by your once saved is not always saved doctrine, neglecting what the Bible says in Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.) if people are tempted and they fall to commit sin it's simply because they lark understanding(an evidence that they have not been thought well,because nigerian pastors are not doing their job) because temptation must surely come, but like adults (not like children who lark understanding ) you were suppose to overcome through your conscience (not by being controlled like a child ) you are controlling them to cross road like children you are not teaching them the right doctrine from the bible, how will they know? how will they grow? (therefore Nigerian christians are mostly controlled by their pastors without the knowlege of the word of God inside them,they are not growing because of what they have been hearing over the years ) they will abandon their conscience and follow your leading, the very day they will not see you to control them again (because you pastors cannot follow your church members everywhere they go to control them ) they will resolved to commit the worst sin you didn't teach them how to avoid and why they should avoid such sin you see, this is a clear reason why Nigeria remain a corrupt nation, there is poverty everywhere inspite all the churches and mosques everywhere, because nobody is teaching them the truth everybody want to be pastors so that they can control. this is why you have this fear, you are not sure of what people are capable of, so you dont want them to be free and happy by knowing the truth from the bible,want to control them by your once saved is not always saved doctrine like animals, it has always been like that since African tradition. policians will want to control the citizen will not have any say, pastors will control, even when it is bad church members cannot talk men who are the head of the family will be doing rubbish the wife and children will not have any say African tradition, na God go resque us It is no so developed countries, find out. thats why there is development in those countries |

Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 3:58am On Sep 21, 2014 |
Ukutsgp: @paxonel. you have not answered my question, i asked you to show me a place in the bible that says if a sinner commit sin he will go to hell fire all these places you quoted are just advices. they are advising we christians not to commit sin, they didn't say if we comit sin we will go to hell fire shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? (abound there means plenty, check your English dictionary ) so that place is saying, shall we continue in sin so that people will say we have plenty grace? (abundant grace ). God forbid so it is not saying if we commit sin we will go to hell fire Galatians 5:19-22 didn't ask any such question like what if christians commit those sins it mentioned will they go heaven? please don't change it as a matter of fact Galatians 5:24 even says And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. so we have been crucified with Christ, sin or hell fire has no dominion again.over us , not because we are even righteous people, but simply because we believe, making us to have the righteousness of God through Christ then 5:25 advice us that If we live in the Spirit (because we are already in the spirit, the spirit was given to us freely), let us also walk in the Spirit.(meaning let us avoid sin ) the only place in bible that has been confusing most christians to say if we commit sin we will go to hell fire is 1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. now the question is are christians drunkards? the answer is No are christians extortioners? NO because 6:11 says And such were some of youthe people who believed among the people Paul was addressing, because some believed and some did not ) but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. so we have been cleansed, we are not drunkards by Gods perception therefore we are saved from hell fire ( Because it is God that will judge, not humans.read revelation and know the criteria of Gods judgement, our names are written in that book simply because we believe, not by our works ) but by human perception we drink, we comit sin and we will suffer the consequence of our drinking and sin accordingly here on earth, our salvation will not save us, faith without works is dead. therefore we should repent from drinking |

Ukutsgp: Numerous passages are cited which say my friend eternal life is already in you, you don't know your right. there are things today christians (especially Nigeria christians have failed to understand about eternal life which is the resurrection of the dead Do you know that you will never die? and that thing we called death is not death but a sleep, infact it is a twinkling of the eye (eye closed and open again ) please death has been defeated by Christ on the cross 1 Corinthians 15:55 ,O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? African christians don't believe in the resurrection of the death, they are like the saducees,they don't know how it works they don't! even know that the kingdom of God is already on earth by virtue of his death and resurrection of Jesus , they don't know that we christians are the kingdom of God on earth (Jesus in his prayer before we was crucified , let thy kingdom come,which eventually came after he was crucified, started with 120 people at the day of Pentecost, grow to become what is known as christianity today world wide ) they didn't know that one o we are just going to church for nothing, nobody is teaching us white men who brought christianity to Africa are very wise, they practice the same christianity in their country, their lives are better but we africans are just mumu, we are still waiting for rapture (which is not even in the bible ) because of that we abandoned our responsibility to replenish this earth (a responsibility which God has not changed his mind about which God gave when he created mankind,) and be waiting for rapture we don't want to go to school we don't want to think we don't want to work meanwhile some people out there are inventing technology and we are larking behind in Africa |

@ O.P What shall we say that Abraham our Father hath found?

Ukutsgp: d point is, can one lost his salvation due to sin and wrong living? The answer is, no one in Christ can lost his or her salvation. If there's one such as yourself, ask yourself. ..since you came to be in Christ, have you sinned or not. If you have sinned, did you loose your salvation and try to regain it or what? Have you lived wrongly, making a wrong choice? If you have, are you unsaved trying to be save again? 2 Likes |
