Denominations who profess Once Saved, Always Saved (OSAS)

[RileyG]

From my understanding:

1. Presbyterianism (not sure about Reformed Churches or UCC)
2. Southern Baptists/other fundamentalist Baptists
3. Pentecostals/Assembly of God (does not)
4. Some Evangelical denominations
5. Some Holiness sects (does not)

Anyone else?

You may what to double check Assemblies of GOD. I know our church doesn't promote once saved always saved.

Thanks! I’m not AOG so I’m not aware.

The Holiness Churches follow John Wesley teaching conditional security.

If a church has Presbyterian in the title, they are almost always Reformed. Reformed is essentially a synonym for Calvinist--I know there are still some groups who use the label that aren't Calvinist, but by and large Reformed means Calvinist and Calvinism inherently involves eternal security.

Where things get a little more complicated with the term "Presbyterian" is that there's uppercase Presbyterian and lowercase presbyterian. Lowercase presbyterian is a form of church organization that is, as one might guess, practiced by uppercase Presbyterian churches, but churches that aren't Presbyterian can still be presbyterian.

3. Pentecostals/Assembly of God

Nope, definitely not. Pentecostalism emphasizes the importance of ongoing faith, repentance, and a transformed life. Pentecostalism teaches that a believer can fall away from grace and salvation can be lost through persistent sin and a lack of repentance and through apostacy.
