actually, once you are saved you are always saved. you can't lose your salvation, otherwise being saved would be based on works. and we all fall short the glory of God.

It's not works, because the sins I listed are Salvation Forsaking Sins. I'm not saying you have to do any work. I'm saying there are works you must not do:

ie.
Harm a Believing Child
Take the Mark of the Beast
Believe & Preach a False Gospel (after knowing the True One)
& Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

Other than these, all you have to do is repent at Heart and Believe in God's Love, that He really did die for you and so really has forgiven you and really will resurrect you, if you confess these truths & your sins, in the name of the Messiah.

He said Himself, He who endures till the end, SHALL BE saved. We have only entered into His grace, but a grafted branch or even a natural branch can be cut off. Be sure He doesn't say to you, "I never Knew You"

Believe and rest assured :)

Who said works has nothing to do with our salvation? Reductionist gospels, no matter how sweet sounding, are still false.

AMEN! It is hard for many Christians to accept these things. They are the preaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, but many Christians follow the ideology and philosophical fittings of men instead.

I understand what John MacArthur says about Once Saved Always Saved and what he has said in the past about the Mark of the Beast and other things like the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Please pray for the people who listen to him that they wont be deceived and please pray for me that I don't become influenced by any of this in my thoughts, words or actions or lead anyone else astray; but instead follow what the bible says. Also this is not written to attack John MacArthur (please pray for him also before it is too late), but just out of concern, Thank you and God Bless. (Also please pray that I don't believe in once saved always saved)
In the Bible we read "Those who persevere to the end will be saved." I pray for people to not be deceived about that.

P.S. Works do not lead to salvation. Only faith in the Blood of the Messiah leads to salvation. But we are told "Faith without works is dead." So, works don't save, but if you don't have works you don't have a live faith and so are not really saved.
