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.

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal
Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).
—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.
Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14
“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran
From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.
Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.
“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf
When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution
“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira
Revelation 2:20-24
Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]

Nation Shall Rise Against Nation
Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!
What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!
Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!
Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.
In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5
By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.
This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20
Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8
Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)
When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5
The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).
The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.
Acts 2:1-13
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9
Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7
Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
