“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”—John 6:37.

Chosen from the Beginning
July 29, 2010
When one is regenerated by the Holy Spirit unto salvation, they are made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and as such are no longer citizens of this world, but citizens of heaven.

Certainly true Christians can backslide, if by that you mean they can regress into a period of spiritual dullness or disobedience. Those who do so will bring God’s discipline (Hebrews 12:6-11).

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28) We believe in the eternal security of the saints. First, because they are Christ’s, and He will never lose the sheep which He has bought with His blood and received of […]

Comments Off on Who Is Responsible for a Believer’s Salvation?
