Once Saved Always Saved Lie

2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
"Onced Saved Always Saved" teachers and followers think salvation is merely a choice, reciting a prayer, and nothing more is required of them.
Saving faith is planted in those who truly believe and follow, but it must be brought to maturity by the receiver. Jesus said that not all who begin will finish.
Do the verses below imply a guaranteed eternal existence for the unworthy, ungodly, or unrighteous? Does any scripture for that matter?
The story of the Ten lepers in Luke illustrates the cleansing through Christ, and how not all continue (returned) in Christ, nor gave Him Glory.
The LORD expects individuals to repent, continue in the faith, abide in Him, and obey, so they can overcome sin through His Power of Righteousness that is found in the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments that Jesus Christ brought, taught, and physically displayed for all the families of earth to learn from, follow after, and live by, for Eternal Living Life. Jesus became man's Example of what it takes to become a son of God, being a Son of God Himself. The very same Spirit that wrote the Ten Commandments with His Holy Finger Is Jesus Christ.
The position that gives God the Greatest Glory is the one that encourages Righteousness, Holiness, Purity, and Obedience to God. A position that completes what God commands for His planned workings. A full-time Faith, and not one of convience. Individuals that love God all the time, and not love some doctrine that allows individuals their own rebellion and unbelief to presume the Grace of God.
Satan wants individuals to believe they can never keep the Ten Commandments, nor be Holy, Pure and Righteous in keeping the Ten Commandments. Satan doesn't want individuals to know God is a Just God, and He would never ask of man to do something that is impossible.
If an individual cannot sow Good and Righteousness on their own planet, then neither will they in Heaven.
God will not allow any sin into Heaven to destroy all His creativity of Good and Righteous that He loves, and that loves Him. He won't allow sin to destroy Heaven, as it has this planet earth.
"Once Saved Always Saved" teacher and followers are seeking to sneak into Heaven another way.
If Salvation and Eternal Living Life is already secure for believers, they would not need to lay hold of Eternal Life, nor fight the good fight of faith. This proves individuals can walk away from their faith. And without faith, they cannot please God, nor receive salvation, since the scriptures do state that both of these are require.
Why must individuals be concerned about holding fast the profession of our faith without wavering, if "Once Saved Always Saved" guarantees Eternal Living Life?
Why the need for patience to receive any promise of God?
If individuals are "Once Saved Always Saved", then why is patience and doing the will of God required?
God did afford man the tools of Good and Righteousness to assure man that their Good and Righteousness can measure up to be accounted worthy heirs of the Kingdom of God, if those tools are utilized.
The whole duty of man is to fear God, and keep His Holy Ten Commandments of Good and Righteousness.
Many individuals and nations upon this planet recognize and follow a few of God's Commandments, but not all.
You cannot be partially righteous and good to inherit God's Kingdom that is Pure, Holy, Good, and Righteous.
He that keepeth His Commandments, abideth, endureth, run the race, and overcometh shall inherit the Kingdom of God. It is an individuals own responsibility within their given salvation to overcome sin to obtain Eternal Living Life.
Paul instructs Timothy to "take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them, for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee".
Individuals are to be found worthy of the Kingdom of God.
Salvation is likened to being betrothed to a marriage for Eternal Living Life, as scriptures does portray. The betrothed Bride has a responsibility of Faithfulness in Good and Righteousness to have a successful marriage take place.
The message of "enduring to the end to be saved" is the salvation message that should be preached today. Instead, it has been attacked and rejected by individuals professing to be Christian. A person needs to get saved, keep themselves cleansed from sin, and overcome the sin of the world to be rewarded Eternal Living Life.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
If individuals truly abide in Jesus, they will walk as Jesus walked and keep the Ten Commandments as Jesus did. Jesus is man's Perfect Example of what it takes to become a son of God, being a Son of God Himself.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Saving faith is planted in those who truly believe and follow, but it must be brought to maturity by the receiver. Jesus said that not all who begin will finish.
Luke 14:27-30 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
The Lord warned to count the cost before starting, because one may not finish. John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
"If ye continue in the faith" means there is a chance you will not continue to finish the race.Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Psalms 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Do the verses below imply a guaranteed eternal existence for the unworthy, ungodly, or unrighteous? Does any scripture for that matter?
John 3:16 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 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
I Peter 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of god,and if it 1st begin at us,what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of god? and if the righteous scarcely be saved what shall be the end of the ungodly and sinner?

I Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
A guaranteed eternal existence is not implied with words such as: should not perish-- might have life-- should be made heirs-- hope of eternal life-- scarcely be saved-- work out your salvation with fear and trembling-- may obtain. Words such as these imply qualifications are needed to run the race, continue in the race, and to finish the race. John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

I Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
The story of the Ten lepers in Luke illustrates the cleansing through Christ, and how not all continue (returned) in Christ, nor gave Him Glory.
Luke 17:12-18 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
The LORD expects individuals to repent, continue in the faith, abide in Him, and obey, so they can overcome sin through His Power of Righteousness that is found in the Ten Commandments.

1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (so can you!)

The position that gives God the Greatest Glory is the one that encourages Righteousness, Holiness, Purity, and Obedience to God. A position that completes what God commands for His planned workings. A full-time Faith, and not one of convience. Individuals that love God all the time, and not love some doctrine that allows individuals their own rebellion and unbelief to presume the Grace of God.
Satan wants individuals to believe they can never keep the Ten Commandments, nor be Holy, Pure and Righteous in keeping the Ten Commandments. Satan doesn't want individuals to know God is a Just God, and He would never ask of man to do something that is impossible.
If an individual cannot sow Good and Righteousness on their own planet, then neither will they in Heaven.
God will not allow any sin into Heaven to destroy all His creativity of Good and Righteous that He loves, and that loves Him. He won't allow sin to destroy Heaven, as it has this planet earth.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

"Once Saved Always Saved" teacher and followers are seeking to sneak into Heaven another way.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Matthew 22:11-13 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Haters and/or rejecters of Holiness and Righteousness will always find the truth offensive. Matthew 22:11-13 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
The Lord's Holiness, Purity, and Righteousness is found in the Ten Commandments & Jesus Christ.If Salvation and Eternal Living Life is already secure for believers, they would not need to lay hold of Eternal Life, nor fight the good fight of faith. This proves individuals can walk away from their faith. And without faith, they cannot please God, nor receive salvation, since the scriptures do state that both of these are require.
1 Timothy 6:11-12 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Why must individuals be concerned about holding fast the profession of our faith without wavering, if "Once Saved Always Saved" guarantees Eternal Living Life?
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
It is clear we are commanded in Hebrews 10:23 to make every effort, not only to hold on, but to not concede any ground at all. This verse only makes sense if there is a real risk of losing promises that individuals are hoping to receive.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Why the need for patience to receive any promise of God?
If individuals are "Once Saved Always Saved", then why is patience and doing the will of God required?
Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Two requirements are identified in this verse, and ye *might* receive the promise.
• First, you need patience.
• Second, you need to do the will of God.
Can individuals just skip God's voiced requirements and still receive His promises? That would be contrary to scriptures, and not true.• Second, you need to do the will of God.

1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

If there is no law of Good and Righteousness to discern sin, how would we know we need Grace? Without the law of Righteousness, how could God show us His Grace, and the depth of His love for us to apply His Grace? 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Paul instructs Timothy to "take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them, for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee".

Why would individuals need to ensure their salvation if it was already secured? This scripture only makes sense if it is possible to walk away from your given salvation. If "Once Saved Always Saved" individuals are always saved, then why is Paul instructing Timothy to pay close attention, to continue in these things, and by doing these things he will save himself? Individuals are to be found worthy of the Kingdom of God.

Salvation is likened to being betrothed to a marriage for Eternal Living Life, as scriptures does portray. The betrothed Bride has a responsibility of Faithfulness in Good and Righteousness to have a successful marriage take place.
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

The message of "enduring to the end to be saved" is the salvation message that should be preached today. Instead, it has been attacked and rejected by individuals professing to be Christian.
