Can you still be saved according to OSAS, even when you follow another Gospel?
I came to God 7 years ago. I believed in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. I said sorry "change of mind" for my sins. I believed in the imputed Righteousness of Christ, thought I was forgiven for my past present and future sins, had a relationship with Jesus.
When I came to Jesus on ______ lost the actual date, I was sealed with the holy spirit (A seal that cant be reversed).
I lived a lifestyle of ungodliness after I was saved, was I saved?
*Some on here tell me I wasnt saved(never saved to begin with).
But you then tell me I was sealed (A seal that cant be broken).
Why wasnt the holy spirit, doing the work in me for over 3 years?
Why did I bear absolutely no fruit with the holy spirit in me?
Am I still saved will following another Gospel?
You tell me I am sealed by the holy spirit (nothing can break that seal I received 7 years ago on that special day I came to jesus.
So am I saved still, even though I follow another Gospel now?
.
I believed what you believe now for many years before God delivered me. 🙂
I have no idea if you're saved, just because I've seen no good fruit or truth from you doesn't mean God hasn't started in you already.
John 3:3
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(also you did not truly believe in eternal security or Gods promises if you then stopped believing in them.... it means you had no confidence, nor trust and through circumstance you turned from your "beliefs"... you believed it like you believe a sports team is the best sports team... now you found a new favorite... much different from an enduring faith... like faith that if you jump off a sky scraper you will die... no one can change you from that it is a genuine faith not a fleeting conditional faith)
as for fruit
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
there are two sorts of brances here
branches that bare fruit
_____
"
every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit"
"He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit"
and branches void of any fruit
____
"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned"
"As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself"
this whole thing is largely an example of the power of CHRIST in His own
compared to the lack of power in fakers
this was said after judas already betrayed Jesus and was said to make a point before the conclusion of the betrayal of judas
.....
this is about two separate sorts of men/women who claim to be in Him and are part of the congregation
nothing to do with how to
earn or keep salvation
(it is a gift by grace through faith)
men can't see all like God
man may say "where is this persons fruit" through a series of poor encounters
but God may know them and be working in them already
... even peter denied Jesus 3 times
there were men who could have clearly stated "he is not a believer"
but God knew better
