Do you believe in ,"Once saved , always saved ?"?

Well I'm not sure.  I was just  saved on Sunday.  But already I feel my old witchlike ways beckoning me.  If I return to the craft, I hope I am still saved.  Praise Jesus.  He loves me, his righteous followers and washed us clean, amen ;).

Wow a Christian using scripture in their thoughts on dogma- novel idea that I hope continues. I totally agree- Ephesians 2 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Kinda hard to argue with that scripture too huh? But we must see-as James points out- that good works are a result of our faith. Not that  we need to do them to get into Heaven-but if we follow Christ- and He was a servant to all- then we will do the same. Great point!

Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?"\n\nJesus has opened a pathway for us to know and love God while we live and to enter in to his presence after we die.

Absolutely not. God saves individuals, not organizations.\n\nI think the Bible is pretty clear. Good texts to illustrate your points.\n\nThere IS one faith. That one faith is not necessarily one church. That faith that leads to salvation is faith in Jesus Christ as the redeemer. Can't get to heaven without Jesus.\n\nPEOPLE will always go their own way. That's why there are so many different beliefs and denominations. Why wouldn't there be? Most folks can barely agree on what to put in a salad.

yes, what we refer to as our souls have always been and i believe will always be. the body goes and may come again in another form but who we are is infinite and eternal.

why do religious people think that everyone needs to be converted or saved?  personally, i believe in a higher being - don't believe in hell being a place where you go, but actually one you create if you live that way.  i believe mostly in karma ... we create our heaven or hell while we are here ... DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU

Jesus saved us from our sins ONLY if we are truly sorry and ask for forgiveness.  I don't believe not believing in God is a sin, but that person is a member of the LOST and therefore not a candidate for heaven.....)(

Yes, I believe in the Lord. He is also my Lord and Savior. I am glad to see that there are still some people that aren't afraid to admit that in the end they will be going to Heaven. I'll see you there.

I was saved from original sin at Baptism.  Also, as the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), but I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12), and I have the hope that I will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15). Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13).  I praise God and thank Him for the gift of the sacrament of confession (John 20:22-23, 2 Cor. 5:18-20, Acts 19:18, 2 Cor. 2:10) in which Jesus, through the priest, absolves us from our sins and restores us to a state of grace.  What a deal!

God is the most important person in my life. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.com

in a way yes and no. There is a Heaven where all saved people go, but you do not get reincarnated into something else in this world.

According to the bible....Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

NO you are not saved.  The Bible says, and I quote \n"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in rhine heart that God hath raised hi from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Romans 10 verse 9\n\nNow, just because I gave you a easy answer, does not mean its that easy to live saved.  there are the ten commandment that in the Bible and also the two Greatest Commandments.  you see.  God honours when you admit when you are wrong and ask for forgivenss.  When you ask, you can't make that same mistake again.  So try hard not to.\n\n\nI hope I answered you question.  If you would like to keep in touch, You could email me at \nemanishera00@yahoo.com \n\nI love you with the love of Jesus

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,\n \nThere is only one sacrifice that was made for our sins,and that was Jesus on the cross. Those who think that becoming saved gives them a free ride to sin all they want are total and complete fools.\n\nYou say that you read your bible, This too is one of the scriptures that you will eventually come to read.\n\n Matthew 7:21 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.\n \nWhen Jesus said "Go and sin no more" That means if you have repented of a sin, you know that it is wrong and un rightous in the eyes of the Lord. You have acknowledged it as such. So why on earth would you go out and re commit the same sin that you have acknowledged to Jesus as being unrightous in His eyes? His love and  mercy is pricless as is His forgivness that came with a price that He paid and not one that you or I paid.\n\nYour question makes a person wonder if you even understood what the commitment and covenant that you make with Jesus, when or if you become born again, and accepted Jesus as your savior really means. It means "Go and sin no more".

Yes I do! I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell just as the Bible says- that the kingdom of God is heaven- the Bible speaks of Hell as Hell and Lake of Fire and Sheol (in the OT) And Gahena.\n\nIt is through Jesus Christ that one can enter the kingdom of God- John 3:3 says "Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God"\n-which means you would go to the alternative- Hell. But God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for OUR sins- Because we all have sinned against God (Romans 3)- according to His standards ( His Law) and we all need forgiveness- we all need a Savior- for God is Holy And Just and has NO sin- but he took our sin upon himself and suffered so that those who believe in Him will have eternal life and not only that- but he gives us his Holy Spirit who teaches us all truth- and gives us complete JOY and Peace- we are secure in Christ- no longer do we fear death- death has NO sting on us. Jesus Christ died so that We who believe may LIVE! How wonderful is that?\n\nJohn 11:25\nJesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,\n) \nJohn 11:26\nand everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"\n\nRomans 1:16\n[ The Righteous Shall Live by Faith ] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

He is my savior who died for me so I can have my sins forgiven and eternal life in heaven with him when I die. He loved me enough to die for me for all my sins that's unconditional love. So I can be saved. And yes I do truly believe in Him. He is the son of God.
