Once Saved Always Saved, that many who believe in it – mostly Calvinist and Baptist, they say it’s in the Bible, throughout. It isn’t. It wasn’t in the Bible, either, growing up, yet I believed that as well. The more I venture out and speak to many professing Christians, I find an almost 50/50 mix, with ~ 50% believe in OSAS, as well. They choose some verses as we’ll be discussing today, to back up their philosophy and lifestyle, but refute the other half of the Bible that provides that the doctrine is a false one. My hope is, that you will see the doctrine for what it is – not by me, but as outlined in the Word of God, and as stated by Jesus, His disciples, and many others throughout the Bible. Like many disbeliefs, I don’t understand why a self-proclaimed “Christian” believes in a man-made, false doctrine, but like atheism, the enemy has many flavors of deceptions, lies, and blinders he uses to trick and fool us and this one is one he uses quite frequently, especially in today’s society. Why do I say this? Because many proclaimed believers I’ve known during my lifetime falls into this category, and I’m talking about the one’s that proclaimed they’re Christians! And, sadly, as I try to moderate Christian forums online and speak to other believers, I’m finding this false doctrine has penetrated through the body of Christ and has been doing so from the beginning of time, with our current time being the worst on record for being blinded in and of it. I can’t sit and keep the wisdom that God, His Word, and The Holy Spirit have provided me with to myself – it’s not right, it helps no one except the enemy, and no one gains the insight – there are gifts given by The Holy Spirit, of which, none are given to keep to yourself. They’re meant to be carried out as God has asked believers to do. Become fishers of men, He said. Now I realize, He wasn’t just talking about the unconverted or lost, but also those that believed they were saved, but were living in deceit. Therefore, this episode is dedicated to all those out there that, like I had been for 41 years of my life, in the belief that I was saved, I was a “Christian” and that I was going to Heaven – yet because my belief system was flawed and didn’t align with the entire Bible, I was headed for hell. This might also resonate with you, or with someone you know. I ask that if you feel led or moved by The Holy Spirit in any way today, you don’t hold it in or keep it to yourself – but share. You can share this podcast, or you can share the verses contained in this episode and relay this to those you know and love. God gives us ALL one chance, called life, to get it right, call on His name, follow His Word, and to love and run the race He’s set before us.
