What’s is wrong with the “Once Saved Forever Saved” messages and teachings?
Are the “Once Saved Forever Saved” messages and teachings Biblically correct?
Is it possible for God to take some people's names out (those who once believed but later turned their back on the Cross or Word of salvation) from the Lamb book of Life?
Folks, we often hear sermons, read articles/messages, or listen to interpretations of scripture, in which the speaker presents some form of the "once saved forever saved" theology. But is it biblically correct? And is it possible that Yahweh (The Lord) would take out some people's names from the Lamb book of life because of certain attitudes and behaviors they exhibit after they have once believed?
Revelation Knowledge and Answers:
Folks, it is true that Yahweh will take the names of some out of the book and it is biblically incorrect to think that verbally/vocally confessing salvation without living for it can take you to Heaven or lead to everlasting life.
We must understand that, The Lord cannot lose, nor is He prepared to lose, anyone that the Father has given to Him. It is impossible for Satan or his demons to snatch anyone from the hands of Christ. Yet, as much as it is important for us to know that Satan cannot snatch us from the Master’s hand and that Christ also does not give us up because it is never His will for anyone to get lost, we must know that it is possible for us to willingly choose to walk away from salvation; and this happens when we turn our backs on the Lord and treat the Blood Covenant of our Lord as an unholy thing and reject His name and the done-work on the Cross.
The Salvation journey is a progressive one. It does cover the past, present, and future, and then eternity.
There are three things that lets God maintain your Total Salvation now and for all Eternity:
1. Confessing the Lord with your mouth, through faith
2. Believing God with your heart, through faith
3. Living by your confession, or living for Him, by faith, through the virtue of Grace
* If, at any point, anyone willfully denies any of the points above and completely turns his/her back on the Lord, it is possible that they will lose their Eternal Salvation because their names will be taken out from the Lamb book of Life.
* Again, remember that it is written that only those that stand until the very end shall be saved
* Lastly, if we allow ourselves to be deceived and refuse to hold fast to what we have received, we will lose our crowns***
Main scriptures:
*[[Rev 22:16-21/KJV]]* v 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.20He which testified these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Matthew 24.12-14(BSB) 12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Revelation3.10-12(BSB)…10Because you have kept My command to endure with patience, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.
