Once Saved, Always Saved?

Another of the chewy questions I get asked at least once a year:  can you lose your salvation?

John Calvin, highly esteemed within the Protestant Movement, felt strongly:  No.
Arminius, the Dutch reformer, felt strongly: Yes.

So strongly did both feel on this subject that some 220,000 of their followers were killed in just one afternoon of battle over this issue.  Of course, the Hutterites, could shake their heads on this issue and know both sides were whacked ...

So who was right?  Yes, you should read though these verses, recognized by others as applying to the issue, and make your own decision!  I have tried to sort them into two groups:

Always Saved:
John 15:16

Colossians 1:22-23
Hebrews 3:6
Hebrews 3:14
Revelations 2:10
Revelations 2:25-26

Whew!  That is a load of reading (and typing!) and I hope you bothered to look into what the Bible has to say!

Personally, if Jesus payment and resurrection is insufficient to assure our salvation, well then there is NO hope for any of us!  And I know that my only hope is in Jesus and on nothing that I am capable of doing!  So, just this once, I side with John Calvin ...
