Limited atonement !

[Runningman]

In my 40 years of Christian ministry, never once in my life has someone told me they lost their Salvation. However, every born again from above believer lived every day for Christ and all who passed from this world, praised God before they slept.

If one believes that cannot lost their salvation they may not even be aware they have. So I can understand why someone wouldn't mention it. Even if they did, they might not want to be public about it. It's a deeply personal matter. On that note, yes I have lost my salvation before but God is quite merciful to the repentant and those who love His son.

You didn't save yourself and you had nothing to do with your salvation, and you can't crawl back out of Jesus hand. He owns you. 1 Cor. 6:19. Once you become a Child of God, you can backslide, and repent, but Jesus didn't let you go, by your own admission. God has sovereign control over all aspects of your salvation, and it is gift that you didn't deserve, and you would not have asked for. Basically, you are calling God a liar if He is unable to keep you saved.

Do you believe all of the verses in the Bible about people falling from grace, losing their sin sacrifice, or losing their salvation? A yes or no is fine. They exist. I won't debate that specific point with you in his limited atonement thread.

Name one verse that Jesus said you will lose your salvation.

Name one verse that Jesus said you will lose your salvation.

It's all over the gospels.

In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus taught that those who do not do the Father's will, regardless of their performance of miracles, something only a true believer can do (Mark 16:17) that they will be rejected. Genuine obedience is required for salvation. This does not necessitate sinless perfection because genuine obedience involves sin confession and repentance as Jesus also taught.

Jesus also taught that those who endure to the end will be saved in Matthew 10:22.

Jesus taught in Matthew 25:1-13, in the parable of the10 virgins that even those with faith, but lack readiness can be shut out.

Matthew 10:33 Jesus said he will deny those before God who have denied him.

Jesus told the churches in Revelation 2-3 they must repent or be removed from his presence.

This very same teaching is all over Paul's letters, in Peter's, James, etc.
