Was “Once Saved Always Saved” a Component of the Original Gospel Given Us by Jesus and His Apostles?
No.
In the last 2,000 years, many who got saved fell away and are in hell irrevocably (Luke 8:13; Romans 11:20-22; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-22, etc.).
“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
“I have found that the ‘once saved always saved’ die-hards are lacking a good understanding of Scripture as a whole, and tend to not understand the definition of the word “believe”. Salvation is a gift and could never, ever be earned by man. But there are conditions. The key is understanding what it means to…believe.” Lori
Concerning Satan’s OSAS/eternal security heresy, sister Antoinette Yeboah testifies:
“This doctrine almost sent me to hell, thinking I was on my way to heaven while living in sin. It’s repulsive and damning. It feeds the ego and wicked mind of man. It props him up for a great fall. It’s a deadly and hellish deception.”
——-WHY DID THE APOSTLE PAUL NEVER COME OUT AND TELL ANY OF THE MANY CHURCHES WE HAVE RECORD OF HIM TEACHING THAT THEY WERE “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” (OSAS)? Did this great apostle of Christ somehow forget to tell all the churches something God wanted them to know, OR is this a diabolical error being dispersed by false teachers today? WHEN the apostle Paul went back around to establish in the faith the churches he started, there was no such mention of the “once saved always saved” message so often peddled today.
The eternal security myth is clearly a coward’s cop out… due to refusing to truly repent and die to self. These are the “enemies of the cross of Christ” Paul cited in the end of Philippians 3.
There was no hint of the concept or words “eternal security” or any other such terminology taught Christ or His apostles. Such has been perpetrated by the grace-perverting wolves Jude specifically calls “ungodly men.” (Jude 3-4) There was no such promise as the one we often hear today that “now that you repented and put your faith in Christ, you are as sure for Heaven as if you were already there.” No, the apostle of Jesus Christ had a completely different message as did the LORD Himself. They taught a conditional, not an unconditional eternal security. Jesus and His holy apostle taught that those Christ saves must endure to the end – they must continue with Christ to the end of their lives or be lost and cast into the fire (Matthew 20:33; 24:13; Colossians 1:22-23; Hebrews 3:6; 12-15; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 1:10; 2:20-22, etc.). The grace-perverting false teachers of today, as Jude warns, are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” which means a license for sin (Jude 3-4). In Acts 14, we have on record what the apostle Paul did and taught when he revisited the churches and there’s the deafening absence of any such message as we often hear today about “eternal security” which is the self-serving, Christ-denying lie of “ye shall not surely die.” (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
OSAS is a Christ-denying, cross-rejecting message. It circumvents what God demands – that you truly repent, lay down your life, take up the cross, and live a crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.). YOU are no match for sin – so just die so Christ can reign and conquer in your life! (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Peter 4:1-2, etc.)
Historically, where did this “eternal security,” “once saved always saved” message originate? For a thorough study on this subject and much more, the 730 page blockbuster volume Lie of the Ages is highly suggested.
OSAS is irrefutably Satan’s first lie and anyone teaching it is an agent of Satan Himself – Gen 2:17; 3:4.
Those who believe OSAS do not want the truth. They run from passages that contradict the lie the love. If you believe and teach this heresy, God is calling you to repent at once and cease believing and perpetrating your devilish falsehoods. God is going to judge you. You are a false teacher and He will damn your soul if you don’t repent. Now repent and get into the Word (2 Peter 2:1-3).
WHEN saving divine grace is truly in a person’s life, are they …
- Not arguing to justify sin by teaching the heresy of OSAS/eternal security? They are ….
- Communicating and living out the grace-enabling cross life “in this present world”? (Titus 2:11-12)
Who’s Lying?
Jesus taught “he that endureth (perseveres) to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22; 24:13)
Does that sound like “once saved always saved” to you?
If “once saved always saved” is true, why did Jesus say to His own people that they “endure to the end”to be saved? Why did Jesus teach that someone could believe and be saved and then afterward “fall away” if unconditional eternal security were true? (Luke 8:13) If after initial salvation, one is “as sure for Heaven as if he were already there,” why did Jesus tell all 7 of the CHURCHES He addressed in Revelation 2-3 and they must overcome in order to be in Heaven?
Okay, here it is. See if you can find the “once saved always saved” message in Paul’s words here:
“And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22-23
WHY O WHY would Christ’s apostle Paul tell these new believers that they were to “continue in the faith” if such were not essential to their final salvation? WHY did he not tell these believers they we “eternally secure” no matter what if such were the case? Why is there such a difference in what is taught today? Are we in the very last days, the culmination of Jude’s prophecy of “ungodly men” who are perverting the message of God’s saving grace, making it a license to live in sin and still believe one is going to the Heavenly home of the One who told us to that without “holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”? Here’s the passage:
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:14-15
Did God ever guarantee OSAS? No. If after the LORD saves someone initially eternal glory were automatic and guaranteed, why did the apostle Peter declare this to the church?: “brethren, GIVE DILIGENCE to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.” (2 Peter 1:10-12) Where’s the “you’re going to Heaven no matter what you do now that you are saved” message? There’s no such message in the New Testament. This is the message of hireling wolves who teach this lie to build their church businesses, promising people something God never said or promised. They peddle this myth to a rebellious generation of self-loving souls who want to miss hell but don’t want to be bothered with the relationship or demands of the only Savior who can deliver them from their sin and certain eternal damnation (2 Timothy 3:1-7).
If the message of “once saved always saved” were never a part of the original Gospel “once delivered to the saints,” why then do men preach such today? Why do so many Bible-owning “Christians” buy such a lie? Simple: They refuse to deny self, take up the cross, and live the crucified life Jesus commanded.
So many do not want to truly lay down their life in this fleeting world and therefore they want Jesus to cater to their sinful, unrepentant whims and give them the “okay” to live anyway they wish, in sin against Him with the guarantee of Heaven. This is exactly why OSAS sells. This false teaching of un-conditional eternal security is used by the vile wolves who are building their own church business kingdoms. This lie sells. Satan sold it to the woman in the Garden, did he not? (Genesis 2:17; 3:4) Did it also lead to their fall and demise? Yes. It’s leading to the damnation of millions today who are dying and/or will die having been lied to and for loving that lie.
QUESTION: IF Adam and Eve who were born sinless, who were in perfect communion with God, who NEVER knew sin, fell only AFTER they were told by Satan that they were “eternally secure”, how could those possibly born in sin not fall away? hmmmmm Satan himself is the author of the doctrine of “once saved always saved.” See Genesis 2:17; 3:4.

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20
“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

“He that Loveth Pureness of Heart” [podcast]

IS YOUR HEART PURE BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY BELOVED?
DO I truly love “pureness of heart”?
“HE THAT LOVETH PURENESS OF HEART, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11
Without a pure heart, obtained from seeking, worshiping, knowing, and obey God …. no one “shall see God.” Not one.
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8
If you or I have every word of the Bible memorized and die today with a heart that is defiled with sin, we’d bust hell wide open – and be trapped there irrevocably forever.
TODAY is our day, it’s your day, to throw up those hands and that heart to the LORD who made you, and cry out to Him to grant you a pure heart, one that is innocent, clean, washed, delighting in Him.
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4
When the LORD is truly working in a man, that man is learning to love “pureness of heart.”
“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11
Coming and continuing to come to the light is essential to final salvation.
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21
Choosing the Fear of the LORD
WE must surround ourselves with the Word, the people, the praises of our God! FLOOD your ear and eye gates beloved (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus is coming.
“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:21
Coming clean: To be sanctified by Christ, one must repent and believe upon Him. As the LORD works in them, there will be the response of honesty, humble repentance and a coming to the light, continually. If not, judgment will be incurred (Isaiah 1:19-20).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Those who cover instead of bring their depraved hearts into the light to have them changed and cleansed by the LORD, “shall not prosper.” In other words, they are stifled. Those who remain humble, teachable, correctable, rebukeable, and obedient, will receive divine mercy perpetually.
“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalms 55:19
Those who refuse to “choose the fear of the LORD” have no changes in their lives.
“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:” Proverbs 1:29
Psalms 73
“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:23-28
Drawing Nigh (close) to God Afresh
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

Out of the Mouth of Babes – “What is Love?” Hilarious. Revealing [podcast]

Hilarious and heart warming: What these precious children say will have you laughing and perhaps crying.
“What a blessing this was to my heart! My favorite was the 4 year old white sat on his neighbors lap! Phew! We could learn so much from children about love. They aren’t judgmental. There arms are open wide to give and receive love.” Karen Cochran
Jesus says that we are to be “converted” and also to “become as little children.” (Matthew 18:3-4)
Our LORD Jesus, the greatest Servant says:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
This “greater love” of our Creator, Jesus Christ, was busy blessing each of us in our mother’s womb.
Reading 1 Corinthians 13 today will refresh your heart and mind on the divine importance placed upon LOVE. Share.
Recently it occurred to me…. That the younger the child, the less corrupted they are by this world and the closer they are to God, as in they were more recently in the womb, being fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139).
“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” Psalms 139:13-17
“Out of the Mouth of Babes” is a Scripture and an idiom, a biblical idiom that teaches us that the young and innocent are often unexpectedly wise. This term originates in the Old and New Testaments. The Book of Psalms (8:2) has God ordaining strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings; the Gospel of Matthew (21:16) has praise emerging from the same source.
“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3-4
What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? How do they define love? (by an unknown guest)
“The problem is; We look for someone to grow old together with, While the secret is to find someone to stay a child with!” (Charles Bukowski)
What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids?
Slow down for a few minutes to read this…💕
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does love mean?’ The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore… So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’ Rebecca – age 8
‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’ Billy – age 4
‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’ Karl – age 5
‘Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’ Chrissy – age 6
‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’ Terri – age 4
‘Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.’ Danny – age 8
‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.’ Bobby – age 7 (Wow!)
‘If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.’ Nikka – age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka’s on this planet)
‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.’ Noelle – age 7
‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’ Tommy – age 6
‘During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that.
I wasn’t scared anymore.’ Cindy – age 8
‘My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’ Clare – age 6
‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ Elaine – age 5
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’ Chris – age 7
‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ Mary Ann – age 4
‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’ Lauren – age 4
‘When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ (what an image!) Karen – age 7
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross…’ Mark – age 6
‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’ Jessica – age 8
And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry.’ (This made me cry!)
Now, take a few seconds and post this for others to inspire and spread Love like butter!
And then go be a child again today!
