Eternal Salvation

The Doctrine of Eternal Salvation

The doctrine of eternal salvation is not what most church people think! The term eternal salvation is found only once in the Bible. Therefore, all of the real eternal salvation scriptures, are reduced down to a single passage in Hebrews! Denominations may add many concepts to any Biblical term, but that doesn't mean they are valid. That is certainly the case here with eternal salvation!
NOTE: The only eternal salvation verse in the entire Bible is the following:
Once made perfect, he [Jesus] became the source of eternal salvation for all who OBEY him (Heb. 5:9).
In other words, the real eternal salvation definition is: that which is given by Jesus to those who obey him. If you are going to accurately define eternal salvation and understand the eternal salvation debate you must remember Hebrews 5:9! It is only for those who obey Jesus! That dogmatically excludes Christian drunks, Christian adulterers, Christian liars, etc., which is what the doctrine of once saved always saved (or eternal security) allows for. Again, the glaring Biblical truth associated with eternal salvation is: ONLY those who OBEY JESUS have eternal salvation. What a powerful refutation that is to all those who erroneously think one can have salvation without obedience to the Lord Jesus. What a delusion! The truth is, such people who profess salvation, but don't obey, have only the faith of demons. They also seem oblivious   to true salvation and the new creation which occurs at the point of getting born again.

Don't Believe This COMMON LIE About Eternal Salvation

Eternal Security Does Not
Equal Eternal Salvation

Without question, some have also confused the issue about eternal salvation by equating that legitimate Biblical term to the bogus doctrine of eternal security. The myth of once saved always saved has nothing to do with eternal salvation. Eternal salvation is a reality and comes instantly from the Lord Jesus and Jesus' blood (the source), but it is also on-going to those who obey (or follow), 1 Peter 1:9; John 10:27,28; etc. On the other hand, once saved always saved is only a popular fine-sounding fable spread through Joseph Prince sermons online, Charles Stanley sermons and a multitude of others. Once saved always saved has nothing to do with Bible truth. It will only hurt you in the end. It is a snare to one's SOUL and multitudes are in hell now because of it. Since some people have lost their salvation, then it is easy to answer the question: Is salvation eternal? The Biblical answer is salvation is conditional. The righteous can die spiritually by turning to evil (Ezek. 33:18; etc.).

Test Questions on Salvation

The focus for eternal salvation has to be on the Lord Jesus and his precious blood (1 Pet. 1:19), but that doesn't exclude the following:
For you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:9)
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud." (2 Pet 2:20-22)

Find Out If Your Words Can Affect Your Salvation

That implies something can maliciously interfere with eternal salvation. IF it was only left up to God for our security, ALL PEOPLE would endure and walk holy, but that is far from reality. Man must have a role in his own salvation security, under grace, which can be ruined. So, which gospel a person believes and acts upon is vital. You can live forever and have peace with God now, but you must first have true repentance. Good works and eternal salvation go hand-in-glove. Hence, people need to get saved and stay saved, which often doesn't happen! The Christian life is a fight against sin (Heb. 12:4). Sin not only defiles, it can bring a righteous person to his spiritual death. To be worthy of Jesus, you must place him first in your life (even before your family), take up your cross and follow Jesus (Mt. 10:37,38). Only the followers of Jesus possess eternal life. The sooner people know these things the better it will be for them and those they will influence. The following materials will help you better understand eternal salvation with more Biblical insights and details. Please guard your SOUL as your most valuable possession because it is (Mk. 8:36,37)! Remember, all of the eternal salvation bible verses are reduced down to one -- Hebrews 5:9.

The Possession of Eternal Life

One of the most commonly presented arguments given in defense of the teaching of "once saved always saved" goes like this: "When one gets saved, he receives eternal life. If that life could be lost, it wouldn't be eternal! Therefore, once a person is saved, he is always saved." This argument has both truth and error mixed into it. Certainly, at the point of salvation, one receives eternal life, but does this necessitate or guarantee the possession of that life eternally?
True Grace Teaching vs False Grace Teachings
The term grace has been misused and abused for so long that many have no idea what the truth is about grace and especially how it applies to the Christian life.
