Can Eternal Salvation be Lost?

Ken Brown | February 27, 2010

A participant on our site recently e-mailed me a question. He wanted to know if one could lose his salvation. He correctly identified scriptures that show that salvation once gained cannot be lost, but was concerned that he might be wrong. I empathised with his concern. There can hardly be a more crucial quetion for a believer to have answered. He wondered why so many churches teach that salvation can be lost.

There are quite a number of ways to show from the Scriptures that one cannot lose his salvation. Presenting all of them would make this a very long article. I’ll just approach a few, and then discuss reasons why a number of churches teach otherwise. Let’s start with a passage in 1 John.

Judge Not, That You Be Not Judged?

Ken Brown | February 14, 2010

I was recently reading some of the comments following some politically oriented news article on the net. One of the commenters used the opportunity to blast Christians in general for being judgmental and therefore hypocrites, since the Bible, which they (we) claim to believe, says, “judge not lest ye be judged.” The next respondent came back with, “You better read the Bible yourself. It does NOT teach ‘Judge not, lest ye be judged.’ I know most people think it does, but they have never actually read the passage, the entire passage. That is one sentence out of an entire teaching. Go ahead, read it yourself…. This is what happens when people who could care less about the word of God use the Bible in a perverted way to support their feelings.”
I was intrigued, to say the least. Setting aside the fact that perhaps this responder had some issues of his own that needed to be addressed, his point was never the less worth investigating.
