“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him in open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6
We better hope the Truth is that once we are saved we are always saved. Because if these verses mean that with just one mess up, one chance is all we get, we are all doomed! But that is not what these verses mean at all, no! What this is saying is someone who has these things cannot fall away; because they have been sealed with the Holy Ghost until the day of Christ’s return. We were crucified with Christ, we have been raised up and made to sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, and through Christ we are now one with God, even as Jesus is one with God. The Bible teaches that our bodies that could sin have been destroyed. I honestly believe once saved always saved, there are so many verses that say it, and the ones that people use to try and cast doubt, don’t. I just don’t believe God can be fooled by a false confession of faith, and God doesn’t give His power to liars and sinners; our Father knows our hearts! "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed you were marked with Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of His glory." Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV
