If Jesus says no man can snatch them out of his hand then what do you think that means? please read the whole passage starting at John10:25 he said in verse 26 ye believe not because ye are not my sheep so that means you were never saved in the first place. please read Hebrews 5:13-6-12 what it says about immature Christians and crucifying Christ afresh and repentance from dead works. Yes indeed once saved always saved. |

FlintyJoe,
Three times in this thread, people have posted, "It was not in God's plan, (purpose) for us to die."
If we believe God is Omnipotent, Sovereign, then we also have to acknowledge, He did know, it was in his plan, purposed for mankind.
On the grounds, as it is regularly posted, "Before the foundations of the world, God predestined who would be in Christ Eph. 1:4,5

HEB 2:3 "how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard" This verse seems to indicate that it was a second generation Christian. Lord, first hearers, confirmed to us...
HEB 13:23 "Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I shall see you.
HEB 13:24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
HEB 13:25 ¶ Grace be with you all." Timothy was one of Paul's "own" and the wording is very similar to something Paul would write.
We will find out in Heaven.

I am trying to follow your logic and here and I am not suceeding. You said the following -
"I don't think so because you can die without repenting of your sins ad getting a bad heart and (i believe) go to hell but if you repent of your sins at the end of your life and you die with a good heart then you will go to heaven."
In response to -
"once saved always saved?"
I am trying to break down what you are saying into parts here -
"because you can die without repenting of your sins"
This begs the question; How in the world could you get to heaven unless you did repent of your sins and take Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord? Is there some other way to get to heaven than to do that? Is it that you believe that you get saved sometime early in life, or at all, and then because you don't repent of your sins after that "event" when you got saved, that you will "get a bad heart" and go to hell?
How does that work really? Is it really possible that a Christian who is truly saved would not repent of their sins on an ongoing basis, is that a Christian? The whole premise of salvation is that the human heart is infinitely wicked and we cannot get to heaven becuase "we have a good heart" becuase we don't have one.
Once saved always saved means that once you repent of your sins to Jesus alone, nobody else, not His mother, not to God the Father, not to the Holy Spirit, not to the dead saints, or live angels, but just to Jesus - once you do that for real with a sincere heart, your salvation is complete. There is no waiting around until we see how good you lived when you finally die, or waiting for a man to tell you you are saved after you pray a certain way and go to him to repent of your sins.
Salvation is a work of Christ, not of you - you don't have the power to effect salvation by your good works or your bad works, it is not possible, that is why Christ had to do it.
The way to salvation is simple; believe Jesus is God, repent of your sins, confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that He died and rose from the dead and you will be saved. There is no such thing as getting saved and then going to your death and not making it to heaven, it doesn't work that way.
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.

This is a Quote;
http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg2198.htm
John MacArthur
Matthew 5:3 says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
I. WHY MUST A CHRISTIAN BE POOR IN SPIRIT?
A. Humility Leads to a Right Knowledge of Self
In the Beatitudes Christ spoke of a new standard of living. Being poor in spirit is a fundamental characteristic of a Christian. No one will enter Christ's kingdom on the basis of pride--the doorway into the kingdom is very low and must be crawled through. The sooner we realize we are incapable of attaining the standard Christ calls us to (Matt. 5:48), the closer we are to finding the One who can help us attain that standard. That calls for humility. Jesus was saying, "You can't be filled until you are empty. You can't be worthwhile until you realize you are worthless apart from Christ."
In the church today there is little emphasis on self- emptying. I've seen many books on how to be filled with joy and other things, but I don't think I've ever seen a book on how to empty yourself of self. Too much of contemporary Christianity feeds on pride. But a person without poverty of spirit fails to understand the grace of God and cannot be a Christian since salvation is by grace through faith. Also, the graces of the Christian life can't grow without humility.
A person that is living for Christ according the this passage down in verse 11 is marked as being persecuted for being a Christian.
If you give up everything in this life that does not line up with God's holy world, that would be a whole lot of things and people too. When you do that you may end up "poor in spirit", sad, discouraged, humble, suffering because you chose to follow Jesus instead of being in love with the things of the world.
Not everyone would agree with this concept, however, we are to imitate Christ. Christ was a man of many sorrows, He suffered for God and for us, He did not love the ease of life in this world, He was homeless, He cried out to God. If we are going to imitate Christ, we must "pick up our cross and follow Him". Christians are called to suffer and before we will be able to rejoice at that suffering there will first be tears and hurt and true loss. That is what a person can do to that "she can have that poor in spirit".
The relationship of those who are saved, that is key, those who are saved, who are poor in spirit, who suffer, with the kingdom of heaven is that they will go there. The poor in spirit who are saved go to the kingdom of heaven, that is it, that is the relationship.
Hope this helps.
Mathew 5:11 Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you becuase of Me.
