Once Saved Always Saved?

Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, discusses the controversy of Apostasy -- can someone who was once genuinely justified ever become unjustified? Can someone who was once reborn ever be unborn?

I Wish Paul would've wrote a book of, "Frequently Asked Questions" 😊

It was quite obvious for me. I was sick and realized through His Spirit that my life was terribly sinful. I broke down and cried out to God. Two days later I felt His presence and then the Holy Spirit pouring through me. I was healed and my entire life is focused on Him. Glory to God

Having been a devout Catholic my whole life, I became an Evangelical. My former friends view it as abandoning the faith, whereas in my heart, God has called me to understand His Word so much better. In my earlier life, I followed the church, whereas now, God's Word is the final authority.

I cannot leave the gift of God. I cannot lose the wonderful finished and COMPLETED work for me of Jesus

A cousin of mine fell away from the faith and ended up joining a sketchy ungodly cult but, he returned to Christ eventually and he said he's never going to leave again. I believe he's saved.

Finally! Great BIBLICAL teaching on Soteriology. Thanks so much Dr. Flowers.

[billylindsey]

Easily the BEST commentary I've ever heard on this topic. Thanks again Dr Flowers!

Jesus did all the work, we must believe this to be saved.

Thank you for sharing this study it has been a blessing for me to hear and receive more clarity on the topic of salvation. It truly means a lot and I appreciate your heart and humility. God bless you!

[miltlester]

Thanks Brother, you have clarified many issues that I have been struggling with for years!

[BloodBoughtMinistries]

The issue I find most Christians have when I state I don't believe in osas, is that they think about a believer randomly loosing their salvation, due to sinning, backsliding etc, when that is not what I mean, for me and I believe many others who do not hold to the osas belief, we mean that one can reject their salvation, choose to walk away from it. Getting their names blotted out. They choose to simply walk away from the faith.

The wisest pastor I've ever listened to is pastor poomen from India. Incredible man of God.

Finally! It’s nice to hear someone echo the same thing. We fight and divide over semantics, verbiage, wording., and phrases. I’ve been saying this for quite some time now. Thank you sir!

[donaldmonzon]

I appreciate your ministry greatly Leighton, thank you 💕

[andrewdalton]

I always admire your graciousness and clarity. I’d love to see you chat with Trent Horn one day. You are both bright and irenic and full of the love of Christ. Peace!

Nonsense. Believing that there is no way you can lose your salvation is dangerous doctrine because people use it yo justify their bad behavior.

[PatrickBell]

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Psalms 37:23-24.

[mordechaijones]

Seminary school, ( I call it Cemetary school) can sometimes ruin sincere individuals seeking the knowledge of Christ. There they are often taught the philosophy and doctrines of men. They often enroll in order to enter the ministry and sometimes come out unbelievers. God calls and makes preachers not seminary schools.

[ambassadorofconciliation]

If you think can lose your salvation, it is because you think your salvation depends on you.

I am not a Calvinist for the record.

Turn away from sins and have faith IN JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED AND THE LORD WILL CHANGE YOUR HEART TO LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS! AND BELIEVE JESUS DIED AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD TO SAVE YOU!
