Eternal Security

[JesusIsAll]

I guess those scriptures in Hebrews 6:4-6 didn't need to be put in the bible because it wouldn't matter anyway.

Maybe those scriptures were just to make the bible larger because why even put that in the bible as a warning if it wouldn't matter anyway.

Hebrews 6:4-6 has to do with those who congregated in the church, but could have left (there is not indication this actually happened, even!), that they tasted of the things of God, were in the presence of Christ, but there is nothing to say they were saved. Everybody tastes of the Holy Spirit, drawing them to Christ and convicting them of sin, whether they are saved, or not. You are amidst the body of Christ, when among born again believers, and exposed to all the things of God. This is like the seed which flourishes for a little while, that doesn't find good ground, for whatever reason isn't born again of the Holy Spirit, virgins without oil in their lamps, perhaps those who go through the motions, or have some emotional connection with the body, but never really repented.

Notice, instead of "them" or "those," the focus shifts in verse 9 to the "beloved" the letter is written to, to "you,"

Hebrews 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Paul goes on to speak of the beloved he is addressing, the saved, with things that accompany their salvation, as a different case and group of people. There is no firm case the "them" or "those" of the verses you cite are actually saved, more than likely Jews that went back to Judaism in the book of Hebrews, IF that even actually happened, the case of "those" hypothetical in those verses.

All this aside, to ignore the plethora of scripture stating eternally security of the born again makes using Hebrews 6 as a refutation serious exegetical error, that fails to take into account strikingly plain scripture that speaks to eternal security of the born again. The Bible does not contradict, as you are making the case it does, moving into speculation over what is actually not said in those verses, on close and careful examination.

All you've done is stated an anecdote, put forth some scenario, elaborated on it in your own way of thinking, which has no bearing on the truth in the word of God. Do you understand this, that you've just provided an opinion piece of your own thinking? There's no mention of the Holy Spirit in your thinking, as if the most important aspect of the believer isn't even in the equation? Yes, you need to seek better revelation on this. I'd suggest, if you're truly interested, Google those who teach eternal security as truth, which is every Spirit-filled scholar of unblemished repute I can think of. This is mainstream Reformed Christianity, over the generations. Read everything there is about it: if you have the Spirit, you'll see the truth.

there are scripture for both sides

 

[JesusIsAll]

there are scripture for both sides

I can't be doing this now, but a big loose end I forgot to mention, duh! Sirk provided a sermon on this by Adrian Rogers in this thread, Adrian one of the most faithful and Spirit-filled preachers and teachers I've ever been blessed to hear, and I know him, well, a man wholly dedicated to the word of God, the Lord Jesus, to truth. He was a very learned, hard studied master of the Bible. Maybe you should watch the video Sirk posted here, at least based on such an honest, high recommendation? Anybody who doesn't like Adrian doesn't like truth.

Accompany means things that go hand and hand in the walk in the faith unto salvation.
It is not speaking of things that come after one has already received it, as this would be the wrong way to read this scripture. For this verse works with all of what Paul, John, and James all show how one's walk in the faith shows a determination on if they are saved or not. If this once again was to be changed to say salvation is already physically ours then it would contradict many others from Paul, and scripture can not contradict one another. Apostle Paul says many time we have to continue in the faith and not be lead away in order to receive salvation !!!

Kenneth, this is works based salvation. You just said that we need to "continue in the faith" "in order to" "receive salvation. "In order to" makes the last part into a subordinate clause dependent upon the actions in the first part of your statement. That means in the future, dependent upon our actions we will receive salvation. That is what you clearly say, although you post no scripture to back this up.

In fact, the Bible says salvation happens in the past.

"12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God," John 1:12

As many who did receive, (past tense) who believed (past tense) he gave (past tense) the right to become the children of God. Another verse that confirms the PAST nature of our salvation is Romans 5:1. "We have been" perfect past - the completed tense, with the past participle of "to justify" which is "justified." The only part of Romans 5:1 that is present tense is that we "have" peace with God.

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1

Do you need me to go through this in the Greek with you? Salvation is accomplished, not hanging in the balance. God knows our future when he saves us. That is why both John and Paul refer to salvation as an accomplished fact. Grammar counts, whether in English or Greek!

 

[Blain]

I have a question about salvation. Wasn't it said to be saved you must declare in your heart that Jesus Christ is lord that he died for your sins and to accept him into your heart? Well many do this but I have seen two different kinds of ppl after they are saved. The first is the genuine believer the one whose heart become full of love who truly adores and hungers and desire God who loves and cares for and about others and who are much more understanding of others. Then you have the judgmental hypocritical the arrogant hot heads who that I am sure many of you have seen.

If it's really that easy to be saved then why is there such a huge difference in these ppls hearts, the Christians by title and the true Christians? And also are they still saved and still go to heaven even when they become these judgemntal and typically what is described a s a Christian by much of the world?

"Belief" involves obedience to Jesus; For if we disobeyed Him, then how exactly is He our Master or Lord if we do not do what He says?

For Jesus says, "Why do you call me Lord, Lord, if you do not do what I say?"

The author of Hebrews said in Hebrews 5:9 that Jesus is the author of eternal salvation for all who OBEY him. Not just believe. But OBEY.

John 12:48 says if we reject his words, then those words will judge us on the last day. For example: If a believer rejects Matthew 6:15, and they do not forgive, then those words will judge them on the last day. They will not be forgiven by the Father if they chose not to forgive in this life. So right in Matthew 6:15, there is no Eternal Security. It's a verse that has to do with a Condition. This is only but one of the many Conditions that are given to us in the Bible.

 

[Jason0047]

As for John 1:12: We are given power to become the Sons of God. The question is: What will one do with that power in being a son of God? Adam was a son of God, but he did not obey and because of that disobedience, sin and death had entered the world. Also, if you were to keep reading, John 3:20 says anyone who does evil hates the light. That is why true Christians are persecuted verbally by other believers. That is why true Christians are persecuted physically in other countries.

As for Romans 5:1: Well, you have to keep reading. Romans 6:1-2 says,

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?"

In other words, we are told by Paul that we cannot continue in sin. For Paul says in verse 6, that we should no longer serve sin.

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer serve sin."

This is unmistakable in what Paul says here. In verse 12, he restresses this point by saying,

"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts."

Also, Paul says something completely radical to those in the popular church today, too.

He says,

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:14).

This means what it says. Sin shall not have dominion over you. Meaning, a believer will be able to conquer sin in their because sin does not have dominion over them.

This is an excellent post. I am to be a seeker of truth, even if it cuts me and disagrees with what I previously believed. If I am a seeker of truth and I know that God's word isn't contradictory, then I should be combining these scriptures with those that speak of grace and mercy; not using one verse to counter another verse.

The problem is that people don't know what the Holy Spirit is and is for. Jesus said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." I can't be a witness unto Jesus if I continue to sin. So how do I stop sinning?

The Holy Ghost is the very power of God (Zechariah 4:6; Micah 3:8). It is how God gets things (holiness) done. There was a time (OT) when the Holy Ghost only dwelled with God's people. Jesus said that it is now God's plan for the Holy Ghost to dwell in a person (John 14:17). Do you realize that means God made His amazing power available to live in you? This is the same power that created heaven and earth. Peter said that even the angels are intrigued by this (1 Peter 1:12). We have to understand that while Jesus, who was God in the flesh, was given this power without measure (John 3:34), God did limit us. Why would God make His amazing power available to dwell in us? Remember, this is the same power that defeated Lucifer and his fallen angels in heaven and has continued to defeat Satan ever since. God's power (Holy Ghost) is the only thing that can defeat Satan and his works (1 John 3:8). To expound on 1 John 3:8, Jesus was only able to defeat Satan because of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38). What are the works of Satan? Sin. God made His unbelievable power available to dwell in us because it is the only thing that can defeat the sin nature in us.

Those who do not believe that we are to live without sin the rest of our days (Titus 2:12) only believe this because: A)They do not have the Holy Ghost, B)They do not live by the Holy Ghost or C)They do not know what the Holy Ghost is for.

Don't let Satan fool you. So many think that they get the Holy Spirit the moment that they believe. The word of God speaks of the infilling of the Holy Ghost as a separate event.
John 3:5-8
Acts 2:1-4*
Acts 8:15-18
Acts 10:44-46*
Acts 19:1-6*
*=indicates that speaking in tongues is the sound that would evidence the infilling of the Holy Ghost as Jesus referenced in John 3:8-"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."

If you thought you had the Holy Ghost but now find out that you really don't, the only shame is remaining stiffnecked and defiant against the truth.

sigh.... Jason I know you mean well but honestly you kind of tend to wear me out. I know certain people on here to be Christians of peace other are Christians of love others are Christians of deep wisdom others still I see as Christians of great faith. But Jason all I can see you as is a Christian of sin because all you ever talk about is the subject of sin and never doing it I never once have seen you actually show the fruit of the spirit and honestly sometimes I fear you are going to scare new believer into abandoning their faith because they simply were not good enough for him because they couldn't stop messing up no matter how hard they tried

 

[sparkman]

I had to put him in ignore.

Works oriented theology is part of my past, more from ignorance than choice. I would never go back to that dismal theology.

It seems like understanding that justification is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone would lead one to realize that they don't need to "work" for their salvation. The focus doesn't seem to be on Jesus but on ME.

Faith produces salvation produces obedience. That's the order. I need to make that clear before I get accused of being antinomian. Obedience is a fruit, though

My pastor is preaching on Philippians. He called Judaizers joy-suckers. I doubt your friend was a Judaizer but the term joy-sucker seems to apply the way you described his effect on the group

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:

forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:


seems to me there is a lot of hate towards certain group of people​

[JesusIsAll]

If they couldn't lose it anyway why even bother putting Hebrews 6:4-6 in the bible?

Because the Bible is filled with warnings of what not to do, cover to cover, rebuke of all sorts of sin. It's God's way to provide fair warning. The letter to the Hebrews would have been read in the mixed company all congregations are, likely those who were on the fence of repentance, as any virgin without oil in the lamp. There were surely those being pressured to go back to Judaism, animal sacrifices, etc. It would be an appropriate warning to the fence sitters hearing Paul's letters, more Holy Spirit conviction, just as lost in church congregations today continue to hear of repentance and coming to the foot of the cross, in audiences with a lot of saved who no longer need this message, the salvation message offered in most all churches, routinely, though many saved are in the audience. In this case, it was a very strong way of warning the fence sitters they need to make up their minds, that they'd better not walk away.

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Well many do this but I have seen two different kinds of ppl after they are saved. The first is the genuine believer the one whose heart become full of love who truly adores and hungers and desire God who loves and cares for and about others and who are much more understanding of others. Then you have the judgmental hypocritical the arrogant hot heads who that I am sure many of you have seen.

If it's really that easy to be saved then why is there such a huge difference in these ppls hearts, the Christians by title and the true Christians? And also are they still saved and still go to heaven even when they become these judgemntal and typically what is described a s a Christian by much of the world?

"Salvation" seems easy for some, but that question ain't, Blain, though I'll take a crack at it.

It's difficult, as we can't divide hearts as the Lord can, know the intents of people, who they really are inside, but we can see their fruit. If there's no evidence the Lord has brought change to a person, it's suspect they've ever really repented, suspect they're really saved. Also, there are tares in the church, Satan's workers. If somebody is offensive to your spirit, and you have the Holy Spirit, we must leave it to the Lord to judge, but I would be cautious of such a person, wouldn't befriend anybody of behavior I'm seeing as not Christian, behavior of the world. We have to congregate with tares, or those who haven't repented in congregations, and we do our best to show Christ in us, just as we have to get along in the wicked world. But I won't befriend somebody screaming unregenerate. You don't take that home with you, as it were.

As to whether they're saved, ultimately only the Lord knows, but, no, I don't believe salvation is easy, from the standpoint of "head faith" being valid, easy believism, the hollow confession the demons could make, that the Bible, rather, teaches we become new cretures. You will see fruit of the Holy Spirit, or not. And what is not easy for many people is being broken at the foot of the cross, repenting to agree with God they are wretched, offensive and lost sinners, who mourn before Holy God over what our sin did to the Lord Jesus on the cross, broken like the desperately humbled publican of Luke 18:13, not so easy to be a person broken at the foot of the cross, disgusted with that old man, of changed mind to not want the things of the world anymore, foremost that big ego. Holy Spirit conviction of sin I believe is too humiliating for some to accept, to agree with God in this. The big ego gets shattered, when truly repentant. This must happen in our hearts, in our core being, and it's as if an earth shaking house cleaning. (A lot of people simply love their sin on the sly, don't want to give it up, it often shocking what's going on behind the closed doors of, ironically, especially the publicly pious.)

So, the idea of a Savior and grace is easy for everybody, not so easy for some to truly repent, agree with and submit to the Lord, coming as a dumb sheep that was lost, to be remolded by Him. Churches are full of people who want that big helping of grace, but will skip on having a Lord and Master over that vain old man, that disobedient old man with no Master still alive and kicking in those who've not had an authentic salvation experience, such that it's nothing but suspect they have a truly changed heart and the Spirit.

This following verse doesn't describe a head salvation that's as easy as touching the TV screen for Billy Graham, then forget about it, as said in another post, this concept "got my get out of hell free card," then back to the old man, drinks all around at the bar,

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [if salvation were lip service, multitudes would find it]

Speaking of Adrian Rogers, about merely churched people, he once pointed out how you'd not marry your bride, then dump her back off with her parents, to visit for an hour most weekends in the future, but forget about the one you claim love, the rest of the week. Yet this is precisely what some people do with God, the One they're commanded to love most. Salvation is the presence of the Lord, a daily experience for the truly saved and growing.

 

[JesusIsAll]

Kenneth, this is works based salvation. You just said that we need to "continue in the faith" "in order to" "receive salvation. "In order to" makes the last part into a subordinate clause dependent upon the actions in the first part of your statement. That means in the future, dependent upon our actions we will receive salvation. That is what you clearly say, although you post no scripture to back this up.

In fact, the Bible says salvation happens in the past.

"12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God," John 1:12

As many who did receive, (past tense) who believed (past tense) he gave (past tense) the right to become the children of God. Another verse that confirms the PAST nature of our salvation is Romans 5:1. "We have been" perfect past - the completed tense, with the past participle of "to justify" which is "justified." The only part of Romans 5:1 that is present tense is that we "have" peace with God.

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1

Do you need me to go through this in the Greek with you? Salvation is accomplished, not hanging in the balance. God knows our future when he saves us. That is why both John and Paul refer to salvation as an accomplished fact. Grammar counts, whether in English or Greek!

Good point, the past tense of many other places which reference salvation already occurred. It's the hole in the Titanic that, bottom line, there are those with a works salvation that negates grace and salvation being the gift of God, as surely as the gift of eternal life turns to a gift of no life or temporary life, the sealed unsealed, or as surely as their born again gets unborn again, and worst their God impotent to save, on crutches, needing their filthy rags self righteousness.

 

[JesusIsAll]

John 3:15-16 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 10:27-29 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

John 6:37-39 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise [never] cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. [Luke 11:13, 1 Corinthians 12]

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

2 Corinthians 1:22 And who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
