Benzoic---How does one lose their salvation and die to sin once for all a second, third, or 20th time when they reclaim salvation? Benzoic, How does one reclaim salvation? According to Scripture, once a person falls away there is no renewing them again, Hebrews 6:3-6 ( KJV ) 3And this will we do, i...

I don't follow these threads, and I do not wish to debate, but when listening to Steve give some valid points in support of a conditional salvation, several concepts came to my mind, which keep me from adopting his view. I would like for someone, maybe Steve, to provide an answer to my question. If...

"J.Edwards"]Homer, you still can't get around 1 John 5:1. John uses temporal language which again shows that God fathers thus belief. Hi John Edwards, I just recently finished debating an individual on this very verse. There is nothing in this verse that gives a time frame as to which comes first,,...

A question for you Arminians out there (those who believe that one can potentially walk away from the faith): Could you be an elder (pastor) in a Church where all the other elders (pastors) held to once saved always saved? To clarify, it would be fine for you to believe as you do (and maybe express...
