Notice how Tray focuses ignoring the tense of scripture , but Aaron focuses on the proper tense context in order to find the true interpretation of scripture. Great job Aaron you did a great job at explaining scripture in context.

OSAS IS TRUTH ASK JESUS CHRIST and see what He says In JOHN Ch 3 vs16 ASK Jesus Christ if CAN or WILL ,,,,,un.. Redeem his OWN Or abort them ? Can A Child of God be ...UN... BORN AGAIN ?

[@TruthTalkWithTim]

“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him. If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” and yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” - ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭7‬‬ If we are born again but do not follow after Jesus by walking in righteousness and obedience the salvation of God is not in us. Although, if we continue to follow Jesus in obedience then salvation will continue to be with us. The Bible does not say that Jesus will unredeem us, but it does say IF we walk away from God into sin we will be choosing death not life. In other words we choose to be redeemed in faithful obedience and we choose to condemn ourselves in unfaithful disobedience.

@@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Writing a paper on a topic doesn’t make a person an expert. The bible was written so that we could understand and obey the teachings of God. I have changed my perspective about different topics multiple times in my study of the Bible. I try my best to go into a text looking for the answer to a question instead of looking for a text that will support a belief or opinion.

I served with some wonderful people as an elder and teacher in a calvinist denomination, but left after 30+ years. I am now a member of a church of Christ. I've watched all 6 of these debates and I'll say that Trey exemplifies the approach to bible teaching I'm much too familiar with: establish the doctrinal narrative first at great length, then at the end toss in a scripture verse or two. At times, Trey doesn't even bother with using scripture at all. He says otherwise, but he really wants the listener to just believe him. Regarding OSAS, we know the serpent was lying when he said in Genesis 3:2, "You surely shall not die." Today's calvinists are speaking the same language. Thank you, Aaron, for adhering to many straightforward, easy-to-understand passages that speak to this issue clearly and concisely. Calvinists are eager to help us misunderstand, but it's very clear.

[@KM-zn3lx]

I walked away from Catholic church 3 years ago, I'm 61 so it isn't easy dealing with the guilt they used, indulgences, sacraments, giving more of money time talent and treasure. Nothing was good enough. I want to believe in OSAS, however there's verses galore in which Jesus warns of walking away, not being ready, and not receiving and acting on the Gospel completely. Which seems to me to hint of keeping on the path which is narrow. These aren't works so much as aligning ourselves with God in obedience which was what he demanded of Adam and Eve. An online pastor of Baptist church said in a sermon his friend Chuck was in heaven cuz he said a prayer accepting Jesus and cried in Highschool.However, his friend died without showing any fruits, change of lifestyle, or attending any Christian church! He insisted he'd still see his friend cuz of OSAS! That implied to me the Pastor was lying to himself or others and that he didn't trust God's judgment which is more terrifying. I don't think it's one or the other. God is sovereign and it's best to not mess around. It's not easy to lose your salvation, but if you treat God's grace cheaply you just might. Ppl still have self-will and can divorce Jesus just like a spouse. Sorry to be crude but I hope you get the picture.

[@KM-zn3lx]

Oh yeah, that pastor's friend Chuck was in his 70s when he died. So from H. S. To 70s he never changed!

[@bobwood5146]

So sorry that you wound up here trying to earn and keep a salvation that is not of human ability.

[@4nowandlater]

I used to be a once saved always saved girl myself. Until the Lord convicted me and washed me from a lifestyle of sin. A once Born Again child of God gloriously filled with the spirit I fell back into sin and for 5 years was blindly living a life of sin all the while thinking that I was a child of God. I even went to church in this condition and once convicted it took me a YEAR for my eyes to fully be open to the height that I had fallen from. The spirit of God began to minister to me and I began to see just exactly what had happened and why. This once saved always saved Doctrine was nothing more than a license to sin and live in it without conviction because the light had been removed and the spirit was absent! I was blinded once again in sin just as if I had never been saved... but I thought I was saved. as the spirit of God began to minister more and more I went to him in prayer and I said you have shown me the truth now show me what I can do. so here I am. John 15 1-10Jesus clearly states that if a man remains in him bearing fruit then shall he be my disciples. He States every branch in me that bears no fruit is taken away and burned. He did not say once connected always connected there's a contingency based upon remaining in him. Remaining in the Vine. The problem that occurs is that folks do not remain in the Vine. When they don't remain in the Vine they do not produce fruits unto repentance scripture is clear that father God will cut it down and it is to be burned. This is parallel to what Paul spoke of in Hebrews chapter 6 and verse 8 in that which Bears thorns and Briars is rejected near to cursing whose end is to be burned. 2 Peter 2 amplifies this ..vs 20 for if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled and overcome the latter end is worse for them than the beginning for it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness then after they had known it to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them but this is happened unto them according to the true proverb the dog is turned again to his own vomit and the sow has returned to her wallowing in the mud. Ezekiel 18:24 “But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die" Folks have been bamboozled by the once saved always saved lie. It's the same lie that Satan presented to Eve in the Garden of Eden. It's the same old tactic with a different label. Genesis 3:4 and the serpent said to the woman YOU SHALL NOT SURELY DIE for God does know that in the day that you eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened and you shall be as Gods knowing Good and Evil. In the same way this false Doctrine teaches sins are forgiven past present and future...it teaches no need for repentance or self-examination why, you are above sinning...past present and future sin is abolished. You've already received your crown!! Live as you like..when scripture is very clear from Isaiah 59 that sin is the number one thing that SEPARATES us from God. it neglects the fact that we need to have a clean conscience before God. It denies that we have to be ready waiting and watching for the Master's return. Ready waiting and watching requires self-examination and a repentant heart before the throne of grace. if you're once saved always saved you have no need to walk in holiness and without it the Bible says None will see the Lord. Once saved always saved is a cloak for sin when the Bible says to submit ourselves and humble ourselves and to crucify our flesh. Once once saved always saved is quite possibly one of the largest deceptions and contributors to the great Falling Away spoken of in second Thessalonians 2 and 1st Timothy chapter 4. While it promises comfort and eternal security it is a false security and a very deceptive slippery slope AWAY from Christ and OUTSIDE of the vine to those who wrap themselves in it. You have no need of Him any longer! You've believed the lie! Jude explained this deseptive doctrine to perfection..For certain people have crept in unnoticed [just as if they were sneaking in by a side door]. They are ungodly persons whose condemnation was predicted long ago, for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want], and deny and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you are fully informed once for all, that [e]the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe [who refused to trust and obey and rely on Him This Doctrine portrays only the love of God and it neglects the Holiness of God. God has not nor will he ever change for he has said I am the Lord I change not. One is either born again or they are not. They either have the spirit of God or they do not. if they are born again then they will not remain in their sin or continue in a lifestyle of sin and still have the Holy Spirit for the scriptures are very clear that it is sin that separates us from God. A child of God will not run around and Tout that they are above falling, they fear God, humble themselves understanding that he REQUIRES abiding in him, faithful service and a commited life to overcoming the World the Flesh and the devil just as Christ did but also knowing and Remembering The Words of Christ that any man putting his hand to the plow and then turn back is not fit for the kingdom of God. They begin to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling just as Paul said. They walk in daily communion and obedience to the savior. it's my prayer that anyone reading this would carefully consider through the lens of scripture where they stand. That they would examine the scriptures for themselves and let the spirit of God teach them and direct them and guide them into all truth. Jesus says straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life and few are found therein. once saved always saved is a very welcomed and famously preached Doctrine by many respected pastors but if you could have a bird's eye view into the throne room where they stand and give an account for what they have taught in error I'm sure one would shutter in fear... Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.. 1 Peter 5:8

The Lord Jesus Christ paid the price for ALL the World's sin, 2 Corinthians 5 19-21kjv. He shed his blood on the Cross for our redemption and for the forgiveness of sins, Ephesians 1 7kjv. All you have to do is believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the 3rd day and you will be saved, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv. You will then be sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise, Ephesians 1 13-14kjv. Both Jew and Greek (Gentile) are saved by this Gospel, Romans 1 16kjv, and we refer to Romans to Philemon for our salvation. Ephesians 2 8-9kjv teaches no works for salvation. Please look up rightly dividing the Word of Truth, 2 Timothy 2 15kjv.

@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou If it took 35 pages to explain your position, then I can understand why it was rejected. Paul says enough for me in just one passage of scripture Galatians 1:6 (ESV) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- Galatians 1:7 (ESV) not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:8 (ESV) But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:9 (ESV) As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:10 (ESV) For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

[@erkeekababin1213]

@TheHeavenTestdotnet-gr2ou Regarding the subject of "overlooking" (I think I rightly assume you know the scripture): Acts 4:12 (ESV) And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” John 14:15 (ESV) “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Matthew 28:18 (ESV) And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:19 (ESV) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:20 (ESV) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Mark 16:16 (ESV) Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. John 6:28 (ESV) Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” John 6:29 (ESV) Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” 1 Peter 3:21 (ESV) Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Galatians 3:25 (ESV) But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, Galatians 3:26 (ESV) for IN Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. Galatians 3:27 (ESV) For as many of you as were baptized INTO Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:28 (ESV) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (If you aren't baptized into Christ, then you are not even one with the people who believe like you do.) Colossians 2:11 (ESV) In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, Colossians 2:12 (ESV) having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. Acts 8:36 (ESV) And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” Acts 8:38 (ESV) And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. Acts 10:47 (ESV) “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” Acts 10:48 (ESV) And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. Romans 6:3 (ESV) Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Romans 6:4 (ESV) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:5 (ESV) For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. Your mother is safe!

OSAS- 3 verses in the Bible say your name can be blotted out of the book of life; Psalm 69:28, revelation 3:5, 22:19! Never receiving Jesus is not the only way to go to hell Says Matthew 7:21-23 ; verse 23 ‘away from me I never knew you’ does not apply to everybody, Jesus says this twice in verses 21 and 22! “Not everyone will say to me (on that day)……., yes many will say…..” If OSAS was true he would’ve said “everyone and all” instead of “not everyone and Many”! So not everyone will go to hell based on never knowing Jesus, and other verses will back this up as well! you can no longer use Matthew 7:23 or say they were never saved to begin with! Same with 2 Peter 2 “after knowing the Lord, they went back into their vomit as a dog; or back into the mud as a pig wallowing in the mud”. The word ‘knowing’ is the same word in Matthew 7:23, it’s ‘ginosko’ in the Greek- it’s a salvific relationship with Jesus! So you can lose your salvation, says this verse as well! 2 Peter 2:20 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning!” THEY ARE ENTANGLED IN THE CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD…AGAIN- says this verse! Jude 12 - “twice dead”; Dead in sin, born again, dead again! And there’s many more; Revelation chapters 2 & 3 are full of ultimatums and all Jesus is focused on is our works! Revelation 2: 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place! Revelation 2:14 there are some among you….. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. These are just 2 and Jesus says “he who overcomes” , Overcomes is present - future tense, and Jesus says this to all 7 churches even the 2 good ones! You have to stay faithful to the end of your life to go to heaven! John 3:16 is he who continues to believe will have eternal life! it doesn’t say ‘believed’ past tense, you have to maintain your faith to go to heaven! The Greek word ‘believes’ is ‘Pistis’ which basically means faithfulness so faith equals faithfulness, according to the Bible! So if you have problems with this, then you have problems with the word of God, the Bible! You need to study these passages so that you can make it to heaven! If your pastor cannot answer these questions according to what I just said, then you need to leave that church!

The “once saved always saved” false doctrine is yet another ploy from satan to keep people complacent in their sins, and to keep them from seeking and growing spiritually in God’s word. Excellent job presenting God’s word, Aaron.

[@raykidder906]

It is interesting how in Romans 1:17 we read of St. Paul's use of the term "from faith to faith". Later in Romans, we read of the example of Abraham's salvation through faith. In Romans 4, we read that Abraham had faith in child birth through Sarah when she was 90, and this would be hard to believe would happen except that Abraham believed in the prophecy given back in Genesis 17:19. This was a surprise to Abraham, which means he had a change in faith. This suggests that "from faith to faith" can be thought of as being likened to the scientific discoveries of the solar system from "technology to technology". I accept infant baptism as I sense this to being likened to the reception of an "invisible Bible" that promotes Christian enlightenment. The problem I see with credo-baptism is the strong tendency to view baptism as a result of belief rather than belief as a result of baptism. To Aaron's credit, I sense that his beliefs stem from his study of the Bible more so than the case of Trey, who seems to have come up with his own beliefs, and then interprets scripture to fit in with his beliefs. Both Aaron and Trey trust in the Bible, but I sense that Aaron has a "from faith to faith" evolution such that he keeps of refining his beliefs as he studies the Bible. For example, how would Trey and Aaron interpret these verses from Romans 2 (NKJV): 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your [a]impenitent heart you are [b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”:

1 Corinthians 5:1-5 "It is actually reported that there is sexually immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among the pagans...you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that he spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord." I don't know what "deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh..." looks like today, but it appears that Paul is saying that they are to be left to their devices and the result will be the destruction of their mortal bodies, not their spirit. Sexual immorality had crept into the church at Corinth, nowhere does Paul say that these people were not saved, but rather he instructs the church to not associate themselves with them (1 Cor. 5:9). Churches that do not address sexual immorality WITHIN the church are erring from scripture. I've heard way too many sermons from preachers that condemn the sexual sins of people outside of the church and rarely have I seen it actually addressed and action taken against sexual immoral church members. Demas fell in love with the world and left Paul, was he saved (2 Timothy 4:10)? Peter denied Christ 3x, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 10:33 Did Peter lose his salvation or was he not saved yet when he denied Christ 3x?

@@3165 This is I Corinthians 5:5 (NKJV): 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. According to many OSAS folks, salvation is given by faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone. If this is true, then how could this sinful person’s spirit be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus through something involving the destruction of his flesh? I view St. Peter’s denial as his spiritual death as the answer to the question posed by Jesus to St. Peter in John 13:38. I view John 21 as the story of how He rose from this death on the 3rd day (John 21:14 because Jesus is the light of the world) as he repented to the love of Jesus and subsequent walking in newness of life after the form of water baptism described in John 21:7-9.

@@raykidder906 Hi Ray, I enjoy healthy discussion and I'm not looking to get into a fight. So, if there is something that you think is attacking, it is not my intention. - I'm not a calvinist. I believe Ephesians 1:13-14 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." > So the big question is: when does a person receive the Holy Spirit? It is clear that people receive the holy spirit "after ye believed" (no conditions/works) Romans 4:5 I'm OSAS, as in "Once sealed, always sealed" 😉 This topic always leads me to 2 questions: 1. What works are necessary to meet God’s approval for righteousness? 2. How many works are necessary? - 1 Cor. 6:18 "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." I think sexual immorality is a sin against the body which ultimately leads to physical death, not spiritual (STD's/HIV). * I don't think Peter was in danger of losing his salvation when he denied Christ. My point was more to focus on the fact that Peter failed in the flesh. You can see his reaction when the rooster crowed the third time, he was crushed and repentive (Luke 22:62)

[@raykidder906]

@@3165 The verses of Acts 19:1-5 suggest that the reception of the Holy Spirit is contingent upon being first baptized into the body of Christ with water in the name of Jesus, and then having the right religious beliefs, and then having the laying on of hands by a church official such as a bishop. This reception of the Holy Spirit may be evidenced by speaking in tongues and/or prophesying. A person who has baptism and the right faith will be made to drink of the one Holy Spirit as per I Corinthians 12:13. It seems possible that a person such as myself can have the Holy Spirit without a miraculous gift, as per the rhetorical question of I Corinthians 6:19. The laying on of hands appears to be the bestowal of a specific gift for edification of the body of Christ, and not so much as an act of salvation. There are no works that earn salvation, but a person who has received the circumcision of the heart will necessarily do the good works like the gentiles mentioned in Romans 2:14-15 do. There are some Christians who think such gentiles are non-Christians, but this does not make sense in view of how St. Paul mentioned the universal slavery to sin of those who are without Christ.

[@toddmatthews9680]

Here's another tidbit about falling from Grace found in Galatians 5:4. The Calvinist will say regarding "you have fallen from grace," that these people were never truly saved to begin with. However, my question to them is, "how can you fall from grace if you never had it to begin with?" See, if these people were never truly saved, then they never truly had grace,and as a result cannot fall from grace. On the other hand, if they did actually recieve grace, then definitely they can fall from it. It's just the 'logical implicaiton' of the verse. To read it any other way is to do total injustice to the rules of grammar, not to mention God's word. Hope this helps shed even more light on the subject. Blessings!

[@Just.in.Christ]

Great job Trey and Aaron but I must say not just because I’m a member of the Church of Christ, but simply because the word of God is plain and Aaron you did a magnificent job my brother using scripture to justify your stance not anything else. Scripture is the best commentary on scripture. Rev 2:10 is plain be faithful means that our salvation is conditional you can fall from grace. So many examples of Gods punishment for those who didn’t keep his commandments or obey his word even the angels were cast out of heaven so if he would cast them out apparently there are things that can cause us to loose our salvation if we don’t remain faithful until death. Warnings all throughout the Bible informs us that once saved always saved is FALSE DOCTRINE

[@BingoNamo-gb8pz]

The inability to articulate the doctrine well does not make it false. I will try to articulate it according to what you have just said. When you say “our salvation is conditional” yes that is true in that one is only made righteous BY FAITH. Tell me, who has the greater faith: the one who believes that Jesus alone is sufficient to save them to the uttermost, once & for all, & Jesus alone has given them eternal life, once & for all? Or the one who believes that HE must remain faithful to God through HIS obedience & HIS righteousness? Well, if we properly define “being faithful” & “obedience” & “righteousness” according to the new covenant we will see that “being faithful” means continually trusting in the gospel (that we are saved by grace through faith, that all who believe on Jesus shall have eternal life), “obedience” is to believe one is made righteous by faith & to love one another (once saved always saved is unconditional love-those who believe in this gospel will love unconditionally just as Christ does-they will not disqualify anyone, rather they believe SO STRONGLY in the love & faithfulness & work of Jesus Christ that they do not believe ANYONE or ANYTHING can break GOD’S covenant promise to those who believe-therefore they love you with this in mind & never give up on you). “Righteousness” by faith, plain & simple, you can’t describe being righteous any other way because that is the only righteousness that exists in the gospel. Do you really think a once saved always saved person will EVER stop having faith in Jesus?? No, but those who DO NOT believe Jesus is capable of saving them to the uttermost once & for all are ALWAYS IN DOUBT. Hopefully you see how a once saved always saved doctrine CAN BE a very POWERFUL & UNWAVERING faith. The kind of faith that we are SUPPOSED to have. I would be much more concerned if I did NOT have this kind of faith in God to keep His promise. After all, the just shall live by FAITH. That’s what this whole gospel is about-faith in God, faith in the blood of Jesus, faith in the love of God the mercy of God the faithfulness of God the promise of God. I do not say any of this for the sake of “winning an argument” because just one hour ago I did not endorse the “once saved always saved” doctrine, but after reading 2 or 3 comments against the doctrine I thought I would try to see it from a biblical perspective to see if it fits. Hopefully you are as convinced now as I am, but I do believe one must have the doctrine in the right perspective, such as the perspective as (I) described in order for it to be genuine faith & I believe the proof of that is in the unconditional love (I) described here (not really I because I truly believe it was the Holy Spirit speaking through me). I think what you describe as being faithful & enduring & obeying His commandments is indeed what once saved always saved is doing. It just makes it a lot easier to do if I’m being honest because it puts all the burden on Jesus, which I think is exactly the way God intended this to be. Edit: I think a better name for the doctrine is “When your faith is always in Christ you are always saved.”

⁠@@youtube6817If that were the case he wouldn’t be here debating to begin with. Very rare to see any mega church pastor willing to be challenged by another biblical scholar. I would say in most cases “once saved always saved” is like a self fulfilling prophecy. The ones who truly believe this will never stop having faith in Jesus. The ones who do not believe this are already at high risk of falling away because they do not believe Jesus will save them. To believe Jesus WILL SAVE YOU is actually saving faith. To those who believe He MIGHT NOT save you, well that’s going to be a very unstable relationship & difficult person to trust. So while it’s not technically true (once saved always saved) I would say the person who is FULLY convinced Jesus will save them is more likely to ENDURE & CONTINUE in the faith.

@junkyarddog God with his commandments in the old and the New Testaments, apparently wants us to do good works. So to help you out, and answer your Conundrum , if you walk in the light of Jesus is in the light, the blood of Jesus will clinch of moss in. If you don’t walk in the light as he doesn’t like the blood of Jesus will not clear from all sin, first John 1:7. That means you’re living free from any willful sin; you’re not sinning in a ritual way Or addiction problem that is a sin! OSAS- 3 verses in the Bible say your name can be blotted out of the book of life; Psalm 69:28, revelation 3:5, 22:19! Never receiving Jesus is not the only way to go to hell Says Matthew 7:21-23 ; verse 23 ‘away from me I never knew you’ does not apply to everybody, Jesus says this twice in verses 21 and 22! “Not everyone will say to me (on that day)……., yes many will say…..” If OSAS was true he would’ve said “everyone and all” instead of “not everyone and Many”! So not everyone will go to hell based on never knowing Jesus, and other verses will back this up as well! you can no longer use Matthew 7:23 or say they were never saved to begin with! Same with 2 Peter 2 “after knowing the Lord, they went back into their vomit as a dog; or back into the mud as a pig wallowing in the mud”. The word ‘knowing’ is the same word in Matthew 7:23, it’s ‘ginosko’ in the Greek- it’s a salvific relationship with Jesus! So you can lose your salvation, says this verse as well! 2 Peter 2:20 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning!” THEY ARE ENTANGLED IN THE CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD…AGAIN- says this verse! Jude 12 - “twice dead”; Dead in sin, born again, dead again! And there’s many more; Revelation chapters 2 & 3 are full of ultimatums and all Jesus is focused on is our works! Revelation 2: 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place! Revelation 2:14 there are some among you….. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. These are just 2 and Jesus says “he who overcomes” , Overcomes is present - future tense, and Jesus says this to all 7 churches even the 2 good ones! You have to stay faithful to the end of your life to go to heaven! John 3:16 is he who continues to believe will have eternal life! it doesn’t say ‘believed’ past tense, you have to maintain your faith to go to heaven! The Greek word ‘believes’ is ‘Pistis’ which basically means faithfulness so faith equals faithfulness, according to the Bible!

[@terryolay4613]

@BingoNamo-gb8pz I agree with your statement here. The question of OSAS is, can someone who is truly born again become "unborn again"? There are bible passages that clearly indicate anyone who is truly saved will hold fast till the end and nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God and that no one will be able to snatch us from Christ because he upholds us by His power (we don't stay faithful by our own power). But there are also passages that clearly indicate that people who were once saved can become "unsaved" / lose their salvation / stop trusting in God / become apostate.

Trey is still a church of Christ whether he or you and I like it or not. He obviously had a very bad experience where he grew up and went to worship. It was obvious to me that this pain surfaced every time he had no response to what Aaron was explaining by way of scripture; he would always mention that this was his experience in the past. He does not realize that a church of Christ is not subject to or answerable to anybody except the Judge; even elders. No debate is ever won by merely criticizing the other person's argument as "terrible" or "really bad." I pray for Trey and hope that our Lord softens his heart. I cannot understand how anyone could believe this false doctrine of "always saved." Why the need for the cross? Why do we bother if we have predestination {Greatly misunderstood concept}? Why is Paul working so hard to bring the Gospel to everyone and anyone that will listen if he knows that this will not make a difference as Trey's doctrine would have all believe (Philippians 1:21 and many more verses).

I agree with Trey that our works must be motivated by love and not out of fear in order to be pleasing to God.

If he keeps on sinning without being sanctified then he does not love God, and is not in a state of salvation. He needs to love God because God first loved him as perceived through his faith. This litmus test is from I John 3 (NKJV): 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

And Trey calling Aaron a liar( regarding his statement around an hour and 35 min as a “ball faced lie”) is a serious charge in my opinion. My opinion on all of these debates, to Calvinists, is that the book of Romans is not the pinnacle of all Scripture and the book of Romans is not the context for all Scripture.

Tell me, who has the greater faith: the one who believes that Jesus alone is sufficient to save them to the uttermost, once & for all, & Jesus alone has given them eternal life, once & for all? Or the one who believes that HE must remain faithful to God through HIS obedience & HIS righteousness? Well, if we properly define “being faithful” & “obedience” & “righteousness” according to the new covenant we will see that “being faithful” means continually trusting in the gospel (that we are saved by grace through faith, that all who believe on Jesus shall have eternal life), “obedience” is to believe one is made righteous by faith & to love one another (once saved always saved is unconditional love-those who believe in this gospel will love unconditionally just as Christ does-they will not disqualify anyone, rather they believe SO STRONGLY in the love & faithfulness & work of Jesus Christ that they do not believe ANYONE or ANYTHING can break GOD’S covenant promise to those who believe-therefore they love you with this in mind & never give up on you). “Righteousness” by faith, plain & simple, you can’t describe being righteous any other way because that is the only righteousness that exists in the gospel. Do you really think a once saved always saved person will EVER stop having faith in Jesus?? No, but those who DO NOT believe Jesus is capable of saving them to the uttermost once & for all are ALWAYS IN DOUBT. Hopefully you see how a once saved always saved doctrine CAN BE a very POWERFUL & UNWAVERING faith. The kind of faith that we are SUPPOSED to have. I would be much more concerned if I did NOT have this kind of faith in God to keep His promise. After all, the just shall live by FAITH. That’s what this whole gospel is about-faith in God, faith in the blood of Jesus, faith in the love of God the mercy of God the faithfulness of God the promise of God. I do not say any of this for the sake of “winning an argument” because just one hour ago I did not endorse the “once saved always saved” doctrine, but after reading 2 or 3 comments against the doctrine I thought I would try to see it from a biblical perspective to see if it fits. Hopefully you are as convinced now as I am, but I do believe one must have the doctrine in the right perspective, such as the perspective as (I) described in order for it to be genuine faith & I believe the proof of that is in the unconditional love (I) described here (not really I because I truly believe it was the Holy Spirit speaking through me). I think what you describe as being faithful & enduring & obeying His commandments is indeed what once saved always saved is doing. It just makes it a lot easier to do if I’m being honest because it puts all the burden on Jesus, which I think is exactly the way God intended this to be. I think a better name for the doctrine is “When your faith is always in Christ you are always saved.”

We don't need Scriptures to know the Truth. Christ Jesus is the truth and the spirit of truth is in via The Helper he sent. He puts his will and testament in our minds and hearts..... Don't need anything carved in stone tablets today❤

Even if you have a problem with the Church of Christ. I think we can all agree Calvinism is wrong!

[@flamingooneleg77]

Who’s we? There’s a lot of people that don’t agree with what you said. But there is a lot of people that believe Calvinism is true. And you thought everyone agreed with you.

[@wigalo2081]

Agreed, Aaron decisively won that debate. I won't go into scripture because Aaron did a good job of that. The one thing that I would have liked Aaron to ask is, "If a drug abuser found Christ, repented and accepted the Lord as their personal savior and were living the life for 15 years. Then they slipped, started using drugs again, and fell into theft and violence to support their habit. Nothing that the bretheran could do to bring him back, he was content in his sin. Would this person still make it to Heaven? OSAS folks that I've heard have said no, because he was "never' saved. The blood of Jesus is powerful, but people do fall away. What a terrifying thought that one can think they were living the life, but they were in fact never saved at all. Can that truly be the ONLY reason that one goes back to sin, because 'they were never saved in the first place'? This doctrine is absolutely going to send people to hell, and let God have mercy on the souls of those who have pushed this dangerous doctrine. GOD, please open our eyes so that we can clearly see.

The first guy uses maybe 2 Scriptures in his 20 minute opening and the other guy uses maybe dozens! Says it all right there! OSAS a teaching and philosophy of men to make excuses for their sin.

Is funny when Trey can't reply he goes next question. And he also was disrespectful towards Aaron so many times

[@Eloign]

With respect Trey really didn't have any answers to those Scriptures. I was charitable and listened carefully and he danced around every one of them.

[@jamesfitch4569]

Trey refers to the church as if it’s a denomination like his church is which is not found in the Bible. He hates the body of Christ because it doesn’t agree with his false doctrine. He wants to rewrite the Bible to fit the way that he would like God to be. He or no other human has the divine power to change the word of God!

[@savedbychrist504]

It is really difficult to listen to Trey. He does a lot of name-calling and passive-aggressive remarks, and then proceeds to say what the church of Christ believes, which is not the case at all! It’s a form of slander. If Trey was taught wrong, he needs to admit that, and not put forth incorrect accusations about the entire church. Trey appeals to his own emotions rather than to the word of God.

[@philipbuckley759]

David Pawson has noted that salvation, in the Bible comes in three grammatical tenses....past, present, and future, hence the idea of a process....like the one who perseveres to the end, shall be saved....

Aarons teaching were all men centered. Trays teachings were God centered. Trey started off weak but he was playing Possum, at the end he showed how bad Aaron’s scriptures were all out of context. I think when people say once saved always saved and then add you could do whatever you want. It’s very deceiving. It should be said that once one is truly saved like Paul was, Peter was like John was, is always saved. All the true believers that the Father gave to Jesus, Jesus never lost any of them and once Jesus saved them they never lost their salvation, but it wasn’t because of what they did or did not do, it was because of what God did. How many times can a true believer get saved? Answer he can only get truly saved once. How many times can a true believer, a believer that already made it to what we call Heaven, a believer that never once lost Jesus’s salvation, yes salvation belongs to the Lord and God. Rev. 7:10 salvation, belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the lamb. Even David said in psalms, 3:8 by declaring that salvation belongs to the Lord.

[@ShooterReview]

Receiving the knowledge of the truth is simply being told the Gospel truth and does no mean salvation has beeing obtained.
