Can you lose your salvation?

Question

I was talking to a friend and they said if you were saved and then deny God you would lose your salvation but I was always taught you couldn't lose it.

Answer

A saved person can not lose his salvation. He can backslide and ignore God most of his life, but if he was ever saved he will still spend eternity in heaven. Salvation is not ours to give and take. It is all of God.

Answer

I believe the people voting that you can lose it are mostly people that wish they could because they no longer believe. But the reality is that God very clearly says we cannot lose our salvation. If we truley (key word there truley) repent and give ourselves to the lord we will never become "not Christins" we can deny God later in life and live in sin, but if we die that way, it's incrediably likely that we never truley had given our hearts in lives to Christ. Once you know your creator, you'd never want to walk away for good. But sometimes we get a little lost, I know I did. Even had I rejected God he never would have left me nor forsaken me.

Answer

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.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Answer

If you deny God then Jesus isn't abiding in your heart.  A person who is truly saved wouldn't deny God. Yes christians backslide! BUT backsliding and denying God are two totally different things.

Answer

I walk away from God and the chruch for 10 years. I denied  and cursed God. I was baptized  as a teen past the age of accountability,  and fully aware.  Yes I believe   I lost my salvation, but not his Grace and forgiveness.  I can say he stood at the door, I slammed  in his face, and knocked. Found a church and was again  baptized.  I see now , where God stayed  with even though I couldn't see it then.

Answer

Yes. Being saved gets you a ticket, but that doesn't mean after a life full of sin and evil that you will be let on the train.

Answer

He does say if you deny Him before man, he will deny you before the father. So I do believe denying Christ/God would cause you to be denied in heaven. But, from my understanding- those who are truly saved would never deny Christ. So you wouldn't have anything to worry about :)

Answer
