I was not excited about writing this particular book, especially since the ONCE SAVED: ALWAYS SAVED topic is such a deep and entrenching doctrine in the church community. I was not so much interested in getting into the debate as much as I was interested in seeing things from God’s perspective. A topic can be debated until Christ returns, but it if does not direct people to God’s love or cause them to grow and develop spiritually what is the point. What I learned is our SECURITY is in our SALVATION which is based on God’s IMMUTABLE LOVE and the believer’s DECISION to DEPEND upon and ABIDE with God, the indwelling Holy Spirit. In addition ETERNAL LIFE is a destination, but BEING SAVED is a journey where Jesus is the WAY or PATH to the DESTINATION. So I left is like this: ONCE SAVED: ALWAYS SAVED? ARE YOU SURE?
Genre: RELIGION / GeneralI DON'T KNOW
ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED?
ARE YOU SURE?
WILLFULLY DEPARTING FROM GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL [CHOOSE OR DECIDE TO] ...DEPART FROM the [CHRISTIAN] ... FAITH !!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV). “...Take heed, BRETHREN, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God...” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV). “...If ye continue in the faith ... and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel ...” (Colossians 1:22-23 KJV).

“... I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “…” (Malachi 2:16 NLT). Divorces, separations, broken MARRIAGES are all PARALELTIC VISIONS OR DESCRIPTIONS OF CHRIST’s ONCE, intimate, covenant relationship to certain believers who have willfully and voluntarily divorced him, ABANDONED HIM, FORSAKEN HIM, OR HAVE BLATANTLY BROKEN THEIR VOWS TO HIM, fallen away from him, and departed from him. “... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL [CHOOSE OR DECIDE TO] ...DEPART FROM the FAITH !!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV). “…[MY PEOPLE] ... broke [THEIR] ... covenant ..[WITH ME], though I (GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT) loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord…” (Jeremiah 31:32 NASB).
