Does your view on Salvation affect your ideas on End times?

Don't agree with the Pre-Trib, but do agree with the OSAS. 

 

But Joshua David what would you said to those who believe they can lose their salvation according to such passages as Hebrews 6:1-8; 10:26-29; and II Peter 2:22?

 

One of the main problems with the OSAS doctrine of men, is that it does not account for the many Scripture warnings for brethren to not be deceived by the coming Pseudo-Christ our Lord Jesus and His Apostles warned about, with the result of a believer falling away to "walk in shame" (Rev.16:15), or Christ closing the door upon them (five foolish virgins of Matt.25) when our Lord Jesus appears.

 

It instead assumes that all one must do is believe and confess Jesus as The Christ, and then nothing else, when He instead strongly commanded us to 'watch' in these final days so as to not be deceived by the coming Antichrist. Thus it does not account for brethren that fall away from Him to worship the coming Pseudo-Christ in ignorance, which is how those who fall away will walk naked and in shame when our Lord Jesus does return, and will be assigned their place among the unbelievers...

 

Luke 12

⁴⁵ But and if that servant say in his heart, "My lord delayeth his coming"; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

 

 

OSAS believe that if one is truly save their heart, is as Luke's Gospel states:

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Luke 8:15

In this parable of the Sower and the Seed in Luke 8:4-15; we see one type of seed, yet four kinds of ground which our people's hearts.  Only one is obviously bad, while two appear to be good but are actually bad.  Yet the seed that fell on the good ground brought forth fruit, Luke 8:8.

 

I also see John telling of these two types of ground which are apparently good but actually bad.

They when out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

I John 2:19

I really like the fact that when many of the disciples left Jesus we see what number but 666.

From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.

John 6:66

 

 

So then, don't bother keeping His Word if that's what you want, and remember, His commanding us to 'watch' for the end to not be deceived, is a command, not a choice. Doctrine's of men like OSAS aren't going to get you out of that responsibility Jesus gave His.
