Note that all of the enclosed verses are written directly in proper context to the born again believer. No vague or unclear passages are used to offset the clear passages in the scriptures.
Please look at these verses carefully and see what the Bible says about the believer's salvation.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE POSITIONALLY NOW IN HEAVEN
"(God)...hath RAISED us up together, and made us sit together IN HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:6).
ALL BELIEVERS ARE MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
"For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones" (Eph. 5:30).
"But now hath God set the members every one of them IN THE BODY, AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM.. .Now ye are the BODY OF CHRIST..." (I Cor.12:18,27).
Will Christ be in heaven missing a foot or a hand? How absurd! A young girl was asked, "Aren't you afraid you might slip through the Lord's fingers?" "No Sir, I AM ONE OF HIS FINGERS," she replied.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE COMPLETE IN HIM
"And ye are COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power" (Col. 2:10).
If we could lose our salvation we would not be complete in Him.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED
Paul wrote that God "...hath made us accepted in the beloved" (Eph. 1:6).
"The sinner can not make himself acceptable to God. Our acceptance by God, therefore is not based upon our practice, but rather upon our position in Christ." 1
ALL BELIEVERS ARE SAVED BY GRACE
WITHOUT ANY MIXTURE OF WORKS
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8, 9).
"Now to him that worketh is the reward NOT RECKONED OF GRACE, but of debt" (Rom. 4:4).
"And if by grace, then is it NO MORE OF WORKS; otherwise grace is NO MORE GRACE" (Rom. 11:6).
GRACE AND WORKS CANNOT MIX FOR SALVATION. Note also: Rom. 3:24; II Tim. 1:9; Titus 3:5.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE CONFIRMED BLAMELESS UNTO THE END
"Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be BLAMELESS in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ" (ICor.1:8).
ALL BELIEVERS WILL APPEAR AT THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's WORK shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's WORK of what sort it is. If any man's WORK abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's WORK shall be BURNED, he shall suffer loss: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED: yet so as by fire"2 (I Cor. 3:11-15).
ALL BELIEVERS ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION
"And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of REDEMPTION." (Eph. 4:30)
(The Bible did NOT say, "sealed unto the day of damnation; but REDEMPTION." Did you note the difference???)
Seal in scripture denotes OWNERSHIP. Therefore we are God's possession. Can God lose us? The Holy Spirit has promised to keep us. Will God break His promise? NO!! (Eph. 4:30).
Earnest means the Holy Spirit's promise with an obligation to fulfill. He will keep His promise.
"In whom (Jesus Christ) also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of HIS OWN WILL: That we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ: In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were SEALED with that Holy Spirit of PROMISE, which is the EARNEST of our inheritance UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, unto the praise of his glory" (Eph. 1:11 -14).
ALL BELIEVERS ARE PRESERVED UNTO THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM
"And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and WILL PRESERVE ME unto his heavenly kingdom..." (II Tim. 4:18).
ALL BELIEVERS SHALL NEVER THIRST AGAIN
"Jesus answered and said...But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him SHALL NEVER THIRST" (John 4:13, 14). You could not say this about a man that could lose his salvation. He could thirst again.
ALL BELIEVERS HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
Everlasting means lasting or enduring forever; eternal; existing or continuing without end; immortal. (Webster's American Dictionary)3
"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. . ." (John 5:24). The Lord did not say that he that believes has only "temporary" 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 3:16). It would not be everlasting if you could lose it.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE SECURE IN THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST
"For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD"4 (Rom. 8:38, 39).
ALL BELIEVERS ARE SECURE IN THE HAND OF CHRIST
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they SHALL NEVER PERISH, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28).
ALL BELIEVERS ARE ALSO IN THE FATHERS 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" (John 10:29).
JESUS WILL NEVER LOSE A BELIEVER
