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

No Never! Jesus says "No one can snatch them out of my hands." Here is a Calvinist Protestant vs a Catholic debate and then John McArthurs video which explains it so beautifully. Christ holds us fas

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!

@AnointedOne Jesus says "[b]I give them eternal life, and they shall NEVER perish, no one will snatch them out of my hand. John 10:28[/b]

@AnointedOne I read 3 chapters the in the morning, and listen to 2 sermons a day and and try hard reading through the Bible once a year for the last 40 years. Have you read your Bible today? Do you do a devotion every day? I spent one hr today doing my devotion.

@Carazaa I try to write, read, and/or pray every day. I admire you reading the Bible through once a year for the last 40 years, that's incredible. I would like to keep you as a contact if you don't mind.
