Can Saved Christians ever lose their Salvation? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Carazaa Hi Carazaa, No one can snatch away anything from God, and I personally find great comfort in that. I know He doesn’t let us go without a fight, and never without a way to turn to Him again. And I thank Him for that, because without that surely I would be left outside the kingdom of heaven. His forgiveness is unparalleled.

But, for thought on the topic- these are some verses I can think of off the top of my head, but anyone reading this please keep in mind there is more information on the topic in the Bible, and I do suggest you research the topic on your own, with God, to come to your own conclusions.

Revelations 2:5,7 "... I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place-unless you repent." "He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life..."
Revelations 3:16,18 "So then because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my Mouth", "I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in fire, that you may be rich; and white garments that you may be clothed, ... to him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Mathew 6:14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mathew 18:32-35 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother [g]his trespasses.”
Matthew 25 10-12 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming.

Notice the parables I included are about the servants and children of God.

Another kinda subtopic to consider is when people leave the kingdom. The parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin are about the children who are lost because they left the kingdom of God, and there is rejoicing when they come back again or are found.
With all this said, God is merciful. All throughout the Bible He tells His children repent and return to me, and like Jesus told the disciples to forgive seventy time seven, He forgives us over and over again, often guiding us back to His kingdom. No matter what anyone believes, I hope they take away something from the Scriptures, and do many good works in the Kingdom <3

I also think it's okay that we can lose our salvation, doesn't make God any less loving or powerful in my opinion.

The scripture talks about a third person / spirit not being able to cause someone to lose their salvation..

The scriptures do not say that a saved person can later decide to reject the message of the Gospel and disbelieve in the Atonement of Jesus saves them..

So while a person cannot ""lose"" their salvation they can and many have ""cast away"" their salvation by coming to disbelieve in the promises of Christ..

2 Peter 2:17 "These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. {18} For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. {19} While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. {20} For [b]if after they have [u]escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ[/u], 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. {22} [u]But it is happened unto them[/u] according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.[/b]"

Yes, they can. The Bible says so over and over again. I encourage you to read the Bible front to back if you haven't. I also had the same question, and at the time I believed Christians couldn't lose their salvation. I subsequently read the Bible again for other reasons and found that you can. Think about it- God is a God of justice, you can't just be unholy and do whatever you like, forsake him, or hate others, live in unforgiveness, or start worshipping the devil, commit mass murder! Or other terrible things and because you were saved at 7 years old, or a few years, you're still okay to enter the Kingdom. No, He says He will spit you out! You will not get a crown, or a new name, a throne, or life. You are to be holy as He is holy, or at least attempt to be because God is good, and His kingdom is holy. Alot of people get saved and ignore God after because of the belief once saved always saved. They think getting saved is all they have to do. We are called to be servants, overcomers, and to carry the presence of God with us in our everyday lives, to do good on this earth and to be an example for others so that when other people see the light and life coming from our life they listen when you say it's all JESUS in my life. Every vine that doesn't produce is cut off. I believe when I re-read the Bible I had to have seen that we are not once saved always saved at least 30 times in the Old Testament and New Testament (there's lot's on this topic in the New), and from several words and parables spoken by Jesus Himself. The Bible verse that we cannot be taken out of His Hand means what it says only, it does not say He won't remove us from His hand. Always take the Word for what it says, not for what anyone tells you it means<3. With much Love!

So Christians who renounce their faith are accused of never having been “truly Christian.”

Revelation chapter 1,2,and 3 clearly explain that a Christian can fall from grace. Particularly chapter 3 verse 5 which Jesus tells us about our name being blotted out of the book of life if we don’t repent. We have to remember faith without works is dead. The devil believes. All sin that includes Christians. Repentance brings forgiveness. When we sin, if we confess and repent Christ blood covers our sin. But even a Christian can fall into temptation. The devil is hard at work trying to deceive Christians so they will fall from grace. That’s why it is so important to persevere. We wear the breastplate of righteousness which protects us from the devils firy arrows by doing good and staying away from those who commit unbelieving sin least we be tempted and fall from grace. That means we will absolutely be tempted. Why else does the Bible warn us to stay away from those who practice such sin. John 10:28 is referring to those who remain faithful and don’t allow themselves to fall from grace. The bold letters you used are a sign of anger and argument which are not God breathed. But are from the devil which he loves.

Anyone can lose anything... Even their salvation.

A saved Christian in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Jesus said His Yoke was light.. He did not say His yoke was weightless..

(Matthew 11:28-30) "¶[c=#BF0000] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.[/c] {29} [c=#BF0000]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls[/c]. {30} [c=#BF0000]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light[/c]."

Not sure anyone that is saved would want to try .

YES

Amen, sister, amen.

Anyone can reject God at anytime
