Is Falling from Saving Grace Possible?

Saved by grace and yet can’t fall from saving grace? Lie! Repent, you are a false teacher!

The little “eternal security” fairy tale won’t fly on Judgment Day.

Recently I was accused by a person who adheres to the eternal security heresy of being religious and not holding to the grace of God. Here’s my response:

Holding to the truth, Bible, is not religion. You have no clue of the saving grace of God and how it can be done despite to, failed, and fallen from (Jude 4; Titus 2:11-12; Galatians 5:4; Hebrews 10:29; 12:14-15, etc.).

God’s Word actually, specifically informs us that you are one of the “ungodly men” who are corrupting, perverting the grace of God by making it a license for sin and are to be “earnestly” contended against (Jude 3-4).

“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

That “knowledge” was saving knowledge – They “ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS OF THE WORLD through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” No unsaved person would possibly “escape(d) the pollutions of the world” unless it were “through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 2:20-21)

When people use “eternal security” they refer to the heresy of an un-conditional security, no matter how they are living.

1 John 3

“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” 1 John 3:5-10

SO, you aren’t personally responsible to “endure to the end” abiding in Christ? If this is your idea, you’ve openly called the Son of God a liar (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6, etc.).

COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)

COMMON OBJECTION TO EXPOSING OSAS:

“It sounds you you’re teaching a works-righteousness salvation.”

RESPONSE:

It sounds like you are lukewarm and dishonest, deceitful, hiding behind a heresy, and want to live in sin and not be bothered with obeying the Savior you claim to be saved by! If so, you are a counterfeit.

GOD DESPISES AND DISAGREES WITH OSAS

Many are taught that faith or believing is a one-time event and yet, the Bible teaches otherwise. While saving faith begins at one instant, when a person repents and believes on the LORD Jesus Christ, it certainly doesn’t end there. And, continual, ongoing, abiding faith is required to enter glory!

“If a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6

If Jesus used the term “fall away” then how is it not possible? Any person who claims a truly saved person can’t “fall away” is call the Son of God a liar.

“They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation FALL AWAY.” Luke 8:13

Also, how could someone possibly “fall away” from something they never possessed? Impossible.

Did God waste a lot of Scriptures warning us not to lose our salvation?

Those truly “saved to begin with” CAN:

1. Depart from the faith (1 Timothy 4:1) …notice the word “faith.” Sinners were never in the faith, only Christians.
   2. Err from the faith (1 Timothy 6:10, 21)
   3. Cast off their faith (1 Timothy. 5:12)
   4. Make shipwreck of their Faith (1 Timothy 1:19)
   5. Fall from grace (Galatians 5:4)
   6. Remove themselves from Him who called them and turn to a different gospel (Galatians 1:6)
   7. Receive the grace of God in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1)
   8. Err from the truth, upsetting the faith of some (2 Timothy 2:18)
   9. Let slip the truth (Hebrews 2:1)
   10. Have an evil heart of unbelief, leading us to depart from the living God (Hebrews 3:12)
   11. Be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13)
   12. Fail to hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end (Hebrews 3:14)
   13. Fail to attain the promise of entering into His rest (Hebrews. 4:1)
   14. Fail to enter His rest because of unbelief (Hebrews 4:11)
   15. Fall away and be impossible to restore again unto repentance (Hebrews 6:4-6)
   16. Willfully go on sinning and no longer have a sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:26-27)
   17. Draw back from the faith (Hebrews 10:38)
   18. Fail of the grace of God (Hebrews 12:15)
   19. Err from the truth and die in sin (James 5:19-20)
   20. Forsake the right way and go astray (2 Peter 2:15)
   21. Become entangled and overcome by the pollutions of the world AFTER having escaped them and turn from the holy commandment (2 Peter 2:20-21)
   22. Be led away with the error of the wicked and lose their steadfastness (2 Peter 3:17)
   23. Commit a sin leading to death (1 John 5:16)
   24. Stop abiding in the doctrine of Christ (2 John 1:9)
   25. Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you are reprobate? (2 Corinthians 13:5)
   26. Remove themselves (free choice) from the grace of Christ, for a different gospel (Galatians 1:6)
   27. Turn away from righteousness: “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die” Ezekiel 18:24.

Yes, God disagrees with OSAS.

WHY do we have the book of Galatians if born again believers can’t be “bewitched”, deceived, and fall from saving grace (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:4).

“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; YE ARE FELLEN FROM GRACE.” Galatians 5:4

Can’t remove yourself?

Galatians 1:6
“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:”

The LORD “cut off” His own people the Jews and here in the New Testament warns that He will do the same to His people today if they rebel.

“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.” Romans 11:20-21

The original, the real Gospel includes remaining in Christ to the END – or perishing! (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6, etc.)

SHOULD YOU be concerned that you die with no sin? YEP. Yet, so many do not wish to be bothered to truly repent and become personally accountable to the LORD for their every thought and action. Why? They are full of self – the love of self – and not the love of the Savior. They refuse to truly repent and will pay the eternal price for the wages of sin which is still death (Romans 6:23; 2 Timothy 3:1-7, etc.). So many who claim to be saved are lukewarm, ready to be spued, with no fear of God, and loving their ear-tickling false teachers who assure them “eternal security” or “once saved always saved” just like Satan promised the first man and woman before they fell from grace (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 4:2-4; Jude 4, etc.).

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19

Modern “pastors” will not preach holiness. They definitely won’t preach “perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

If you are looking to feel security and not obeying God’s Word, you are a self-deceived, hell bound cross-less counterfeit. Today is your day to hear the voice of the LORD and come to Him afresh in repentance, before it’s too late (Hebrews 3:6, 12-15).

Brother Scott Macdonald writes:

“Just a point to consider; If a household is thine own then you are the head of it and it should abide in and by your rule, and as a believer in Christ Jesus, so your life and household should follow thereby.”

“But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Hebrews 3:6 

John Umlauf captures the deceit of those who dishonestly seek to promulgate Satan’s OSAS heresy:

“What?? That can’t happen! Don’t you know I can take other verses from the Bible and use them to disprove that and still keep believing no one is ever lost after they’ve once been saved? Haven’t you ever heard of Bible hopscotch where you skip over the verses that don’t line up with the theology you’ve been indoctrinated with?”

OSAS dupes cling to John 10:28-29 and don’t even know what Jesus’ preceding words say (v27). They deliberately ignore John 15:6 and mountains of Scripture. WHY? They have not truly repented. No, they said a prayer and some wolf told them they were saved forever (Luke 8:12-13). Some of them actually did repent and yet have since backslidden – fallen away (Luke 8:13). All the lukewarm are going to hell if they don’t repent. All it takes to go to hell is to be found “lukewarm.” (Revelation 3:15-16)

Eternal Security – OSAS Busted and Exposed!

Heidi Velarde writes: “Once saved always saved is a false doctrine. The first sin and deception in the garden of Eden was precisely that! -you surely shall not die said the serpent. Satan convinced Eve that her disobeying God wasn’t going to have consequence. Yet it was her very disobedience that put a number to our days. And when God said you shall die if you eat from this tree, he meant the eternal death which was punishment for our disobedience. In 1 Corinthians, Paul talks about becoming disqualified. There are multiple verses that state you can fall away from grace. We can choose to walk away from grace if we are living in sin and rebellion. Take Lucifer as an example: He was booted out of heaven! And he took a third of the Angels with him. God gave him freedom of choice. Same for us brethren. The Bible says that whose who stand firm till the end shall be saved. It’s a narrow gate because not to many will enter through it. People want to do what they want vs what the Lord has asked of us. YES YOU CAN LOSE SALVATION.”

“I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.” Jude 5

Dan Wallace, who is known as one of the leading Greek scholars today, had this to say regarding “belief” as shown by the original languages of the Bible:

“The present was the tense of choice most likely because the NT writers by and large saw continual belief as a necessary condition of salvation.” (Wallace, Greek Grammar: Beyond the Basics, p.621, footnote 22)

God is good and merciful…. and He’s also holy, and just, and going to damn the souls of all who got saved and then drifted and fell away. IF YOU are going to say “they never got saved in the first place,” YOU have called the Son of God a liar – because HE invented the phrase “fall away.” (Luke 8:13) Jesus would not have taught something that isn’t possible. Repent heretic.
