HOW RIGHt IS ETERNAL SECURITY?Pt4

The proponents of eternal security believe that a Christian cannot go to hell no matter what he/she does. They also advocate that once you're saved, you're forever saved and cannot lose your salvation. Below are some of their beliefs.

5-Nothing Can separate us from the love of God. Rom8:38-39.

This scripture is speaking about outside influences on our faith walk with God&not about what we ourselves can do. While nobody else can separate us from God's love, we can depart from the love relationship that God desires with us.

1Tim4:1-Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

If they were not in the faith, they wouldn't depart, that is very clear. That book was written to believers and it applies today. To say one cannot depart from the faith is to nullify the written word in the scripture because even right from the early church, there were people that departed from the faith.

The mercy of God is DEEP&but men shouldn't trample on God's grace and expect the Christian life to be on auto drive.

John15:10- says 'If we keep God's commandments'. Apparently it is possible not to keep his commandments&fail to abide in His love.

6- We are born of incorruptible seed. 1Pet1:23.

The Incorruptible seed is Christ Jesus or the word(John1:1,Luke8:11).

But the underlining fact still remains that we must abide in him. John15:2,6,7,10. According the scripture above, if you don't abide, you shall be cast into the fire.

Rev22:19- Apparently shows that someone whose name was in the book of life can be removed. Read it.
