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)

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, 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.

“But God, who is Rich in Mercy” [podcast]

Ephesians 2:1-10

“1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Does "Abide" Mean that One Must Continue? Is Your Salvation Secure? [podcast]

Must one “abide” in Christ to the end after being saved in order to be in eternal glory with Christ, the Father, and their saints? Yes. “Abide in Christ” means to remain, dwell, or live in a continuous, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s about maintaining a close connection, relying on Him, and allowing His Word to shape one’s thoughts, will, and affections. Essentially, it’s about a life lived in constant communion with Christ.” Typically, like the false religionists of Christ’s day, they put aside the WORD of God to keep their heretical tradition. In others words, they made their […]

Dancing on Hell’s Grave: Why We Need not Fear Death: Resurrection Joy – Fearless in Death [podcast]

Resurrection Joy – Fearless in Death

– Dancing on Hell’s Grave

“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33

Dancing on Fear’s Grave!

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55

Those who are ready to die and be with Jesus do not fear death (1 John 4:16-18).

Eternal perspective. Hope for eternal rest, glory with Christ and the Father.

In Christ, when we close our eyes in death, we awake to the resurrection bliss of eternal joy with Him who is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).

“For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” 1 Corinthians 15:16-21

We are fully confident that the moment we pass, we breathe our last, we shall “be present with the Lord.”

“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-8

The death of a Christian is not a tragedy.

Death is our passport to glory.

Death without Jesus Christ is the tragedy.

What have we to fear other than the long wait till we meet Him?!

“I think it’s sad to see so many who claim to be Christians

acting all worried about dying… I get excited more each day

about getting to be with the Lord.

The good ole days are just ahead!

Happy New Years!” Kirk

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21

For the one who is truly in Christ, “to die is gain.”

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Hebrews 13:14

Jesus Christ is “the resurrection and the life” and will soon raise up into eternal glory all who truly know Him.

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” John 11:25

Jesus Christ is the “Exceeding Great Reward” of every true believer (Genesis 15:1). They seek nothing more than Him! He is truly their “first love” and all consuming passion (Revelation 2:4-5). He’s coming back soon and He promised that He’s going to reward every man according to his work which is the reflection of of what’s in a man’s heart.

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12

Because Jesus rose again, all who are born again in Him are raised up spiritually in this life to overcome all sin, satan, and the world and will be soon raised up into eternal glory with Him.

“And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” Romans 1:4

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

Where O Where is it! Now, say these blessed, divinely-inspired words of our LORD Jesus Christ aloud prayerfully –“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)

GOT FEAR? – “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalms 34:4) So, what is the divine prescription for being delivered from all fear? Read the verse again and you will notice that seeking the face of the LORD is your deliverance.

Seeking the LORD is always the answer. Getting delivered from “ALL” fear:

“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalms 34:4

Notice here that one must seek the LORD for deliverance from fear.

Why do we fear?

“People fear because their faith is in self, not in God. Therefore they try and meet their own needs. Matt. 6:33 says when we make God’s kingdom and His righteousness a priority He will meet our needs.” Karen Cochran

All fear shall be dispelled as the regenerated disciple diligently seeks the LORD – the only One who “is love.”

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. ¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18

When someone close to us passes on to the next life, dies, we need not fear, namely if they were known of God (Isaiah 57:1-2).

Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection

Remember how Jesus’ disciples were “exceeding sorry” when He foretold of His own death, burial, and resurrection?

“And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.” Matthew 17:22-23

Of this passage, Shadrack Rotich notes: “They were saddened and forgot to be encouraged by the Word of Jesus that in 3 days He was raising again.”

Because our LORD Jesus was raised from the dead, so we have full hope and confidence that so shall all who are known of Him. We need not therefore fear or sorrow.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (raise up, make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11

“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.” Isaiah 57:1-2

Pray this: Father thank You so very much for sending Your only begotten Son for me! Thank You that the Son of God died and You raised Him again to justify me and that Your resurrection life and power indwells me today as I abide identified with and in the death and burial of Jesus! Glory to God Most High! Thank You LORD Jesus for Your resurrection power to victoriously overcome all sin, Satan, and this sinful world and to be fruitful in helping others know You. I now look for Your soon return LORD Jesus. Amen Jesus!

"Fear hath Torment" - 100% Deliverance from all Fear! [podcast]

Young’s Literal Translation YLT Exposed

by Will Kinney

Anyone who tries to pawn off Young’s “literal” translation as being the infallible words of God simply does not know what he is talking about. It is not even a good translation. It is little more than a passing footnote in the ever changing panorama of perverted bible versions that have come and gone over the years.

There is only one Bible that has stood the test of time and its critics. There is only one Bible that is believed and defended by thousands of Bible believers today as being the true “book of the LORD”- the Authorized King James Holy Bible – celebrating over 400 years of being THE Bible of the English speaking people.

Let’s compare a bit:

One that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it was 1 Kings 18:21.

Here we read in the KJB: “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long HALT YE BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.”

But Youngs “literal” has: “and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `TILL WHEN ARE YE LEAPING ON THE TWO BRANCHES? — if Jehovah [is] God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;’ and the people have not answered him a word.”

—————

Here is the YLT telling us Jesus had to be saved which would mean He was a sinner:

Zechariah 9:9 KJB – “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, AND HAVING SALVATION; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”

Youngs – “Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — AND SAVED IS HE, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.”

—————

Acts 11:26 KJB – “And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.”

Young’s 1898 – “the disciples also WERE DIVINELY CALLED first in Antioch Christians.”

The KJB and almost every other Bible reads: “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples WERE CALLED Christians first in Antioch.

—————

Youngs’ “literal” has many examples of mind-boggling, ridiculous readings as well.

In Psalms 141:7 we read: “Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when ONE CUTTETH AND CLEAVETH WOOD upon the earth.

But in Youngs we see: Psalm 141:7 “As ONE TILLING AND RIPPING UP THE LAND, Have our bones been scattered AT THE COMMAND OF SAUL.” (Say What?)

—————

1 Samuel 25:22 “So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that PISSETH AGAINST THE WALL.” (Green – “urinates against the wall.”)

But Young has: “thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of THOSE SITTING ON THE WALL.”
