OSAS Versus LOSE

www.kingjamesbibleonline.org

It's been a great debate for ages--OSAS versus LOSE, or Once Saved Always Saved versus Lose One's Salvation for Eternity. So they formed two groups, each branding the other of being in grave error. If you're not in the present move of God or really led by the Holy Spirit, you're going to take either side.

Truth is, both sides are true. If you'd be honest to look into it, casting aside any presumptions, you'd easily see that there is indeed eternal life in Christ but continuing to live in sin can put you in a dangerous spiritual condition, even lose your ability to repent.

Eternal Life in Christ

"That whoever believes in (Jesus Christ) should not perish but have everlasting life." It's clear, isn't it? And when we say "everlasting," it means without end. Everlasting cannot be cut short. If it can be, then it's no longer lasting ever. It becomes conditional. Then John 3.16 should read: "Whoever believes in him should not perish but have conditional salvation." As long as you're living within the terms of the agreement you have everlasting life.

But everlasting is everlasting, eternal is eternal. God is eternal, and it means he has no end. He goes on. And the life we have in Jesus has the same quality--eternal. It begins now (it has a beginning, this is why "everlasting" is better) and goes on and on, without end. Unseen Gospel and God's Flesh believe that if you're genuinely born again--you really surrendered your life to Christ and received him as Savior and Lord--you are saved forever. And once genuinely saved, you're always saved. 

GOD's Flesh is an unusual ebook on Jesus' apostolic teachings especially touching on the supernatural work of GOD in the last days before Jesus returns. The church should be in this last move of GOD which empowers it to resemble the supernatural ministry of Jesus in the Gospel and the apostles and prophets in the Book of Acts. The church should go back to this.

But what if you sin? Then you simply genuinely repent of it, asking God's forgiveness. But what if you sin and die simultaneously without any time to repent? This is what LOSE people are scared of. Grace will make sure you have time to realize your sin a few moments before death. And except for apostacy which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, sins the remain unrepented cannot cancel GOD's grace for salvation. 

If say, I told a lie or became angry at someone and then died intantly, or got a bit drunk and then die without a chance of repenting, that will not cancel or erase what Jesus did for me on the cross which I believed with all my heart. John said not every sin leads to death, though there is a sin that does. 

All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death. [1 John 5.17]

This is true with sins we have repented from and sins we fail to repent from at the time of instant death---or even sins we were not aware of and failed to repent from. If we're honest about this, a lot of church people and leaders have this. Some even refuse to repent even if they're aware of it. Are they going to hell? I beleve they won't, as long as they do not commit apostacy or blaspemy of the Holy Spirit. But their reward will suffer most during the Judgment Seat of Christ. Suffering such loss is scary when I try to imagine it.

There are those who believe in so-called extreme grace--saying they can continue to live in sin after getting saved. Anyway, God loves and understands them and their special relationship with HIM exempts them from the dire consequences of sin. It also says believers need not repent from sin anymore after they have repented once during salvation. Unseen Gospel or God's Flesh do not believe these silly trash. We believe both in everlasting security and living the holy Jesus LIFE daily.

Lose One's Salvation for Eternity (LOSE)

You have read Hebrews 10, of course. Here's how it goes:

"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God." [10.26]. 

That's crystal clear enough to me. This passage was written to Hebrew believers, not unbelievers. And because GOD's Word is no respecter of persons, these applies to all believers. 

Galatians 3.28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Back to Hebrews 10.26, it talks about we as believers. If we keep on sinning deliberately "there is fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire." Now, I'm sure there is no "raging fire that will consume the enemies of God" in heaven, and there's no such thing as purgatory. So where is this "raging fire" going to be? If you're honest, you'd admit this is nowhere else but hell.

Well, those who "received Christ" yet go on sinning deliberately probably never got saved at all. They never got born again. Genuine born again is a new creation, "the old is past." Remember? Many in church today are far from being new creations. They are a mix of the old and new. They're active and sound spiritual, they sing well and play the instruments, they post nothing but verses on their FB walls, but they're not genuine new creations. They're a mix of the old and new.

So, you see that both teachings--OSAS and LOSE--are in the bible. Why debate over them? Only shallow denominationalism will. If you are a man of truth, you easily accept the bible passages and embrace them as your doctrinal belief. Simply because they're both God's Word. And God's Word is flawless. It is perfect. You don't have to theologize or figure it out (human theology is trash). Just believe and live it daily.
