(It bugs me that the church I was a member with for 30 years won’t discuss with me what I have discovered that contradicts their view. Here’s the latest scripture I have found that contradicts their belief that “you can lose your salvation.”
It is a trustworthy statement:
For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
If we endure, we will also reign with Him;
If we deny Him, He also will deny us;
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:11–13 (NASB95)
.
“If we deny Him, He also will deny us”
“He cannot deny Himself”
So if someone is “denied” they are not of “Himself”
They are not, were not, one with Jesus, or ever “saved.”
You cannot lose your “salvation.”
.
Those who interpret this as a license to sin beware!
Before I was saved God punished me severely when I sinned.
After I was saved God chastised me severely when I sinned.
God is not mocked, whatever you sow you will reap.
