If you can lose your salvation by sinning, then you are earning salvation by not sinning. No man is without sin. Salvation is a gift from God, no man can boast or take credit for his salvation.

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED! It’s a fact, not a question!

David Novitsky

The fact that you took these scriptures and cherry picked them out of their context to try to proclaim some sort of biblical truth is not only unfair but it is deceiving.

Tracy Farris

Individuals that sincerely and biblically accept , believe and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is one thing.

But to live contrary to their confession is another thing that contradicts their confession.

Matthew 7:21-23

Amplified Bible

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’

Depending upon the translation it also states “depart from Me, you worker of iniquity.”

Key in on the words “depart” and “iniquity”.

The word "depart" comes from the Old French word "departir". It means "to divide, distribute; separate (oneself), depart; die". The word "depart" was first used in Middle English around 1175-1225. The word "depart" originally meant "to part from each other, part company".

Iniquity is a word that has been used in English since the 14th century. It comes from the Old French word iniquité, which means "wickedness" or "unfavorable situation". The Latin word iniquitas, from which the French word is derived, means "unequalness" or "unfairness". The word is formed from the Latin words in- meaning "not" and aequus meaning "just" or "equal"

The WORD doesn’t indicate that the person wasn’t “saved “ but rather a judgement that says you are (were) a worker that claimed to belonged to Me but because of your habitual sins and reluctance to repent , I have to separate you from Me. Identifying him/her as a worker of iniquity.

Moral of my response is this. We have to live according to the Word and our acceptance, beliefs and confession to God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Thank you for allowing me to post my thoughts.

John 10:27-30 KJV

[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one.

Angelique Strawn

Thank you for sharing. I've been so torn about this. I just try to not sin. And when I do I pray about it and repent.

Hebrews 10:26 – “If we go on sinning deliberately… no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.”

This is not loss of salvation, but a warning to believers about severe temporal judgment if they reject Christ’s sacrifice and return to Temple sacrifices (cf. vv. 28–31). The “no longer remains a sacrifice” means no other sacrifice exists for willful sin—Christ is the only one. The result is discipline, not hell.

---

Matthew 7:21 – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom…”

This refers to false prophets (vv. 15–23) who never believed. They rely on works (“did we not prophesy…?”) instead of faith in Christ. It’s evangelistic, not about believers losing salvation.

---

Romans 11:22 – “You too will be cut off.”

This is corporate, not individual. Paul warns Gentile nations that if they abandon the gospel, they’ll lose their place of blessing—just as Israel did. It’s about removal from service and privilege in God’s plan, not loss of eternal life.

---

2 Peter 2:21 – “Turn their backs on the sacred command…”

The context is false teachers (vv. 1–3) who are unsaved but exposed to the truth. Knowing the way of righteousness without believing makes their accountability greater, but the passage doesn’t depict a saved person losing eternal life.

---

Matthew 24:13 – “The one who endures to the end will be saved.”

This is tribulation context (vv. 9–22), speaking of physical deliverance into the Millennial Kingdom for those who survive persecution, not justification by works or perseverance.

---

1 Corinthians 9:27 – “I myself should be disqualified.”

Paul isn’t fearing hell. The Greek adokimos means “disapproved” for reward, like an athlete disqualified from a prize. This is about the Bema Seat loss of reward (cf. 1 Cor. 3:14–15), not loss of eternal salvation.

---

Bottom line:

Every passage in that image is either about (1) false converts, (2) national/corporate privilege, (3) physical deliverance, or (4) reward and discipline—not the loss of eternal life. Eternal security stands firm because salvation is by faith in Christ alone (John 5:24; John 10:28–29; Romans 8:38–39).

Angelique Strawn Hey sister, true victory over the sin nature is actually available. And it’s not by trying not to sin.

I can walk you through some scripture if you are interested

Stephanie Leaks  · 

Angelique Strawn remember we’re all sinners, otherwise we wouldn’t need Jesus. even after salvation we need Him! He says depart from me you “worker of inequity” aka you habitual sinner & Hebrews says sinning “deliberately”. Of course there’s moments our flesh takes over, but instead of being shameless like the Israelites & continuing just the same, we repent and try our best not to sin. grace doesn’t give us a license to sin whenever we want, but it gives us redemption when we accidentally fall

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED! It’s a fact, not a question!

Anthony Drury

Allan Holcomb do you read scripture bro? If you keep living the life you want God will still use the Holy Spirit through you to save others but you yourself will go to hell

Anthony Drury

Allan Holcomb yes God gives us grace and Mercy but if you use it as a license for to sin you will not make it. God has told several people this after sending them to hell and back

Anthony Drury

Allan Holcomb every person you lead astray will be on your head during judgement day

Jack Jamison

Allan Holcomb agreed...many don't understand that

Drew Newell

Allan Holcomb you can't lose salvation but you can forfeit it. John 15 says if you do not remain in Him the father will cut you off the vine to be thrown into the fire. Revelation 3:5 tells us your name can be blotted out of the Book of Life.

Rebecca Anne

This is fear mongering and is actually pointing away from Christ rather than pointing to him. SMH

Muwonge Joel

Rebecca Anne miss Anne, I am reaching out today because I can no longer continue to live such life ,l can't mute to die in silence. It is now days without access to food and some of the children have to stomach diseases. Am making an alarm for any Godly person to talk to us because we need to end this situation because this situation is almost finishing us.

Andrew Miller

You have to look at context not just verses…

Allan Holcomb

Andrew Miller Who?

Tonyalia Griffin

Totally disqualify the once saved always saved gospel being preached

Shirley DelRosso

Louis Scott teaches on this... if salvation is dependent on us then the blood is worth nothing. He does a great teaching on the words in Greek and Hebrew and explains these verse in context.

Cortny Harmon

Shirley DelRosso The Bible says, “Let God be true but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4). We can appreciate good teaching, but we’re told not to put our faith in man, only in the Word of God (Jeremiah 17:5–7).

The blood of Jesus is worth everything , but the Bible shows salvation is a covenant relationship, and covenants always have two sides. His blood is the only reason we can be forgiven, but we must remain in Him to receive that forgiveness.

Jesus said, “Abide in Me, and I in you… If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered” (John 15:4,6). That’s not earning salvation,. that’s staying connected to the One who saves us.

Paul warned that Israel in the wilderness “all ate the same spiritual food” but most of them fell because they turned back to sin, and he said this was written for our warning (1 Corinthians 10:1–12).

It’s not “salvation depends on us”, it’s “salvation depends on Christ, and we must continue in Him.” Colossians 1:22–23 says, “He has reconciled you… if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel.”

And the gospel isn’t just “Jesus came and died for your sins.” The gospel is the full good news of the Kingdom — it tells us how to abide in God’s Word, how to walk in His ways, and how to live in covenant with Him until the end. Jesus preached the gospel before He went to the cross, and it was a call to repent, obey God, and enter His Kingdom.

The blood is precious beyond words, and because it is, we are warned not to trample it underfoot by going back to the life it saved us from (Hebrews 10:29).

Hebrews 10:26-29

[26]For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

[27]but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

[28]Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

[29]Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

Mary Tucker

Romans 6:1-2 KJV

[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Brittany Price

Lies from the devil.

Julene Christian Todd

Amen

Frederick Mario Stout

Here's the question of the day WHY would you want to sin deliberately period hey man im new creature with new thoughts and attitude

Tonyalia Griffin

Colossians 1:21-23

Michael Moon

Amen

Ashley Morris

Rather than Christian’s arguing they should focus on those who need help and guidance learning not argument. If you care to save others due so and stop wasting precious times souls matter and so many ache for the word. THE WORD matters most to those who want to learn it and will let us in, t ok be clear this is to myself also

Stefano Rapagnetta

I will never ever lose my salvation.

If you think you can lose it and you haven’t, 

 then your a fool

Stacy Cooper

I have always believed in once saved always saved. We are human. Christians backslide. we are not perfect only Jesus is. My question would be if you aren't always saved how many times do you need to be reborn? How do you know if you are even in God's good graces at time of death? Is it just a chance you take and hope you die at just the right moment?

Cortny Harmon

Stacy Cooper There’s a big difference between stumbling into sin because of weakness or ignorance, and willfully continuing in sin when we know it’s against God.

The Bible acknowledges that believers can sin unintentionally and still be in fellowship with God if they repent (1 John 1:8–9). David himself prayed, “Cleanse me from secret faults” (Psalm 19:12) meaning there are sins we commit without even realizing it. God’s mercy covers those when we are walking with Him in sincerity.

But Hebrews 10:26 warns:

> “If we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins…”

This isn’t talking about a moment of weakness, it’s talking about choosing to rebel against God after knowing His truth, treating His grace like a license to sin. Jude 4 says some “turn the grace of our God into lewdness” that’s the danger.

John makes the same distinction:

“Whoever has been born of God does not practice sin” (1 John 3:9), meaning we don’t make a lifestyle out of it.

But if we do sin, “we have an Advocate with the Father” (1 John 2:1).

So no, salvation isn’t lost over a single accidental sin, but it can be forfeited by a hardened, unrepentant heart that refuses to turn from known sin. God calls us to abide in Him, not to treat His grace as a safety net for rebellion.

Nobody ever mentions Hebrews 6 as well..
