In the OT men were saved by looking forward to the cross ... Judas was living in the OT (pre new covenant) ...and salvation could only come by looking forward to the cross.. The fact he betrayed Christ shows He had no understanding of the OT promises of a spiritual Savior.. He like most of Israel at that time looked for a political Savior .... no not saved.. Devils are never saved
What did Jesus say about Judas that summed up Judas' life and whether he was redeemed or not? Do you know where in the Bible Jesus says this?
We are all children of disobedience before being saved. (Eph 2).
As pertains to Judas and the aspersions that are cast upon him for his betraying Jesus to the Sanhedrin.
Jesus tells us in the scriptures that describe his meditation prior to his arrest and while he was in the garden of Gethsemane, that he asked the Father to remove this cup from him if it be his will.
The coming arrest, torture, crucifixion. That perfect lamb of God, that unblemished final sacrifice that would take upon himself on the cross altar the sins of the world.
Jesus was born so as to die for the redemption of the sinful world he was born into. He knew this.
How would his mission otherwise be accomplished were it not for Judas setting it into motion?
How else would the son of God, the son of man, die for our sins?
- Indeed ...the betrayal and death of Christ was predestined before the foundation of the earth..and Judas was a tool in the hand of God as were the Sanhedrian and Pilate ...
John 17:12 says Judas was lost, implying he lost his salvation.

"Implying" really??..

12. I kept—guarded.
them in thy name—acting as Thy Representative on earth.
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition—It is not implied here that the son of perdition was one of those whom the Father had given to the Son, but rather the contrary (Joh 13:18) [Webster and Wilkinson]. It is just as in Lu 4:26, 27, where we are not to suppose that the woman of Sarepta (in Sidon) was one of the widows of Israel, nor Naaman the Syrian one of the lepers in Israel, though the language—the same as here—might seem to express it.
son of perdition—doomed to it (2Th 2:3; Mr 14:21).
God knows the future and thus can prophesy through his prophets. We see everything on Monday morning. If Judas had not betrayed Jesus, He still would have been killed but there would be no prophecies about Judas. We confuse God telling us through prophecies what is going to happen with God preordaining men to hell.
Luke_22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
John_5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John_7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Actually the bible tells us that God ordained it ... it was no "foreseen incident"
Isa37:26 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Because when we start "implying " we can imply all the way to Mormonism.. ..what we know is what the scripture tells us

Acts 2:23Do you have a scripture that ??
I'm not sure you can go that far.
He did not have them receive the Holy Spirit until after His resurrection.
John_20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Either way, Judas, referred to Judas as the "son of perdition".
If he ever did have saving faith, he rejected Christ and ended all relationship with Him which would mean he "fell away" and of course if he never did have saving faith as OT saints did, then he just had a form of godliness.
There are better ways to establish the false teaching of OSAS.
I'm trying to reply to "Future&hope" & everyone else on this topic,I still do the "Please don't leave or forsake me prayer" with greater regularity than a convict begging for parole.Believing I can lose my ticket to Heaven makes me work harder for GOD.

Maybe he was, maybe he was not. Jesus also said:
Mat 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus said many would do works in his name, that He never knew, the fact of knowing God, is to obey, i.e. not be lawless, Judas was lawless, he was a thief. He may never have known God truly.
Judas can't be saved before Christ's death. Christ had to die to save Judas, just everyone else.
