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

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.

@gregloa Those were never saved. We all have grace and are known by God, but not all predestined and chosen for SALVATION.

They were real born again Christians that obeyed the gospel and were members of Christ church but were straying from his word. Jesus warned the churches to repent or be blotted out of the book of life. Narrow is the gate that leads to Heaven and few pass thru. If it were that easy everyone would go. No sin is forgiven without repentance first. How can future sins be forgiven without repentance occurring first? We are saved when we obey the gospel as Jesus commands. Why do you think Jesus himself was baptized? To fulfill scripture @Carazaa

Please be careful so you don't count on your works to save you, but it is JESUS works that saves us!! Of course we can't completely understand the miracle of Salvation.

My salvation is 100% secure. Jesus died for [b]all my sins,[/b] not just a few sins. No-one can snatch the salvation away from a born again Christian. When God saved me it had NOTHING to do with any thing I did, but what Jesus did for me a sinner. God drew me to himself and saved me. The Holy Spirit came into my heart and changed it from stone to flesh. I didn't want to be saved, I was spiritually dead, like Lazarus who had been dead 4 days. Jesus wanted to give us an illustration how dead we are in our sins. [b]"No one is righteous, NO NOT ONE!"[/b] God says. It was his choice, not mine. Romans 8; Romans 9. I can't credit my salvation on any work, or action. And I am secure forever. No one who is saved wants to sin ever. Only those who are the tears, those who aren't saved. Jesus gave us an illustration of all those who fall away. They lost their faith because they were not saved. The parable of the seeds.

When God saved Noah, God only saved his family all the other people died. It will be like that when Jesus comes. Most who preach are not following Jesus but are following Satan today I believe. They aren't saved. How do we know because they rely on their own works. Only [b]Jesus [/b]works count. If you are saved then you follow Jesus every day wherever he goes, you can't sin without falling on your knees and feeling so guilty because the Holy Spirit is grieved. Jesus says, "Many of you will say in that day I preached in your name, and I will tell you I never knew you." Why did he never know them because they were [b]never[/b]saved! He [b]never[/b] knew them.
