Ephesians 2:8

Salavation is continous process . It is non a one time event.
Young's Literal Translation
for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,
Well.
If you sin you loose your salvation.
If you mouth says " I confess Jesus as my God and my Savior" and your actions are : Murder , greed , fornication that Salvation is NOT upon you and you NOT upon salvation.
That makes you a hypocrate, when mouth tells one thing , and your actions another.
Ever gotten angry with someone? Guess what - you are guilty of murder! Ever lusted after someone? Guess what - you are a fornicator! (See Matthew 5)
Does that mean you aren't a Christian then?
Well.
If you sin you loose your salvation.
Then your salvation is predicated on your own works, consequently, you preach a works salvation.
If you mouth says " I confess Jesus as my God and my Savior" and your actions are : Murder , greed , fornication that Salvation is NOT upon you and you NOT upon salvation.
That makes you a hypocrate, when mouth tells one thing , and your actions another.
Romans 8
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; [d]though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified [e] by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [f] by His life. 11 And not only this, [g]but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Jesus died for us while we are yet sinners and also having NOW been justified not having LATER been justified.
King James Version (KJV)Young's Literal Translation
for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20Well.
If you sin you loose your salvation.
If you mouth says " I confess Jesus as my God and my Savior" and your actions are : Murder , greed , fornication that Salvation is NOT upon you and you NOT upon salvation.
That makes you a hypocrate, when mouth tells one thing , and your actions another.
We are saved by grace...We are saved by LOVING God and your closed ones.
And LOVING is a process not a ONE TIME EVENT.
Then your are inconsistant according to post #125.
I do believe God will keep man saved -- as long as that man desires to remain saved. Man can in no way keep himself saved. Two problems I see with OSAS are that it takes away man's free will and makes God's power dependent on keeping people saved. I don't think either of those are true.If you don't believe man can keep himself saved and you don't believe God will keep man saved... that's a big problem for man... and Christ died for nothing.
Do you think God's discipline is taking away our free will... what about Jonah?I do believe God will keep man saved -- as long as that man desires to remain saved.
