Its True ! Once Saved Always Saved is True !!

In Ephesians 1 & 2, Paul speaks of the process by which God calls the saints and how they are saved through faith in Christ. Some Christians think that this is the end. Im saved and I cannot lose my salvation... nothing more to do. Unfortunately for those who think along these lines, the Apostles went on to write of converted Christians and saints becoming e ...[text shortened]... ng about. These 4 chapters are a long version of what I quoted in 2 Peter 1 in the opening post.

You know you spend way to much time worrying about how people will
or can lose their salvation and not enough pointing those to Christ so that
they get saved. I'm sure its not true, but it seems that almost all of your
posts are directed that way.

Jesus paid a price so we can be saved, I suggest you worry more about
getting Him lifted up so that he draws sinners to Himself.

Those that fall back, will fall back, in the mean time try to make sure
that Jesus receives the reward of His suffering in saving the lost.

No it true. Im counterbalancing all the times people here say the opposite. Both sides must be understood.

Well, that is between you God not me and you. If you feel like that is
your calling so be it. I cannot think of anyone one person in scripture
that did what you are doing. I do see them giving the message you give,
and other times as the need and Spirit leads give messages of love,
grace, and mercy. Like I said, if you feel led to do that, who am I to
question you.

But its not the way the churches preach it. You need more than just a proclamation of faith.

Apostle Peter advises this method:

God would be the one to give you these qualities, not yourself.
