Judas was never saved.

we might ought to tell Peter that Judas wasn't saved.......he didn't know that

Acts 1:23-25 (KJV)
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

He fell from the ministry and apostleship

Some try to save their theory by asserting that Judas' own place was heaven
others by stating that Judas was never really saved.

Again it looks like the two false security arguments cancel each other out. However, both are in error. Jesus stated that Judas was lost

John 17:12 (KJV)
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

His own place certainly was not heaven.

If Judas were not at first a true disciple, then there is no reason to believe the other eleven were.

If he were not saved, how could he fall?

The fact That Jesus referred to him by saying, "One of you is a devil," does not prove that Judas never was a real disciple any more than the fact that Jesus said to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan," proves that Peter wasn't a disciple.


Matthew 10:1-4 (KJV)
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Judas had the power of the Holy ghost and cast out devils

Matthew 12:26 (KJV)
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

ARE YOU SURE JUDAS NEVER WAS SAVED?

John 664 did not say that Judas did not believe read it slow. It said Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe and who should betray him.

Did you not just read where he said Judas by transgression fell

Me too

They need judas to be saved, even though we later found he was a thief from the begining. He lived in sin the whole time he walked

Funny how they say things they say, yet judas is like those they say are not saved, but for some reason, he is saved,

He fell from being a disciple

Not from salvation

Why do you demand judas the theif was saved? It contradicts your own belief that sinners can not be saved while living in sin

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Matthew 16:23 KJV

You are. Jesus never called Peter a son of perdition or said Peter was doomed to destruction.

While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
