Once a person becomes a true child of God then nothing can change that.
You have those people that say "well then you can get saved and just live like you want;" Only issue with that is, when a person truly accepts Christ then that persons want to changes. That person don't want to go on living like they used to. A person that say's they have been saved then they continue to live as if nothing has changed never got saved and they are only fooling themselves.
Hi Fireman,
So true!! Amen! Amen! Amen! What amazes me is that salvation is so simple, so easy to attain -- and, yet, our self-declared highly intelligent atheists and other non-believing Friends cannot seem to grasp it. I suppose what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:22 it really true, "Professing to be wise, they became fools."
By the way, you are right that the words "Once Saved, Always Saved" are not in the Bible -- just as the word Trinity is not in the Bible. However, for both -- the concept is so clearly taught in the Bible -- that even a cave man, or an atheist, should be able to understand and believe it.
Fireman, keep up the good work. I am so happy to see another believer who is not intimidated by the huffing and puffing of our non-believing Friends. As you and I both know -- it is really foolish for anyone to be intimidated by hot air. That is only good for flying balloons.
PM me one day and tell me about yourself.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
