Can we lose Salvation?

[Strefanash]

Exactly!!!

The NT is full of warnings against the peril of falling away. which is expressed in many different ways. But a rigid reading of scripture which does not allow for such things as synonyms will often miss this.

And if christians are repeatedly warned about the danger of falling away then OSAS stands refuted. If falling away were not possible then warnings against it would be totally redundant

Don't forget about the priority question and while I'm doing this (which will take some time no matter which part I choose to answer first) would you please point to one verse where it states clearly that someone can lose their salvation or that they can choose to be un-born again or such like?

Stref: Hebrews 6:4 as about as bald as you can possibly put it. Any arguments advanced as to deny the applicability of this passage ignores the plain meaning of it. I have already explained this. Partakers of the Spirit (as mentioned in the verse- look it up - ) can ONLY be born again persons, therefore born again persons can ultimately refuse the Lord and fall away to perdition.

Being born again ands abiding in christ are different things. One must be born again to abide in chrfist but if one refuses to abide in christ then one's being born again ultimately becomes as irrelevant as the Jews claim of being right with God by being sons of Abraham
