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

@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.

@AnointedOne We can't really understand Gods ways with our brains but I truly believe that Jesus died for ALL my sins, my past, present and future sins.
