Please note: this does not include Jesus’ warnings to everyone in the 4 Gospels!

 

No OSAS for Christians who are slaves of sin (who habitually practice sin)

Romans 6:16-23 "… you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether (slaves)

of sin leading to (eternal) death, or (slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness

… so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

For when you were slaves of sin … the end of those things is (eternal) death.     

… For the wages of sin is (eternal) death …" --- 3 dire warnings in 8 verses!

Romans 8:13-14 "For if you live according to the flesh you will die (eternal death);

but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live (eternal life).

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”

Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we must put to death the sinful nature.

This, of course, is all part of walking on Jesus’ narrow path (Matthew 7:13-14).

IMO, you will make it to heaven, IF you sincerely repent of (forsake) your sins!

 

No OSAS for Christians who do not overcome all sins of every type

Revelation 21:7-8 “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God

and he will be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers,

sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the

lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Jesus is talking about anyone who is a habitual (unrepentant) sinner!

Revelation 3:5 “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments,

and I will not blot out his name from the Book of (Eternal) Life …”

Revelation 3:21 “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne,

as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”

Jesus did not overcome by believing He was/is the Son of God (re: 1 John 5:5).

 

No OSAS for Christians who do not sow and live according to the Spirit

Galatians 6:7-8 “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows,

that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,

but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

Romans 8:5-6 "For those who LIVE according to the flesh set their minds on the

things of the flesh, but those who LIVE according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally-minded is death, but to be spiritually-minded is life and peace.”

Decide for yourself: Are these passages contrasting eternal death with eternal life?

 

No OSAS for Christians who do not practice righteousness

1 John 3:7 • “… let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous”

The Christian who does not practice righteousness is not righteous in God’s eyes!

 

No OSAS for Christians who do not love and obey Jesus

John 14:15-23 • “If you love Me, keep (obey) My commandments …

He who has My commandments and keeps (obeys) them, it is he who loves Me …

If anyone loves Me, he will keep (obey) My word …”

Good question: Does anyone get to heaven who does not love Jesus?
Hebrews 5:9 • “He (Jesus) became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.”

Romans 6:16 "… you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether (slaves) of sin

leading to (eternal) death, or (slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness …”

James 1:12-15 Those who endure the temptations to sin will receive the

crown of (eternal) life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

 

No OSAS for Christians who draw back, fall away, do not endure in the faith, etc.

Here are just a few of those famous “conditional passages” …

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 • “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel … by which you are

saved, IF you hold fast that word which I preached to you – unless you believed in vain.”

2 Cor. 13:5 • “Examine yourself to see IF you are in the faith, unless you are disqualified.”

Hebrews 3:14 • “For we have become partakers of Christ IF we hold the beginning

of our confidence steadfast to the end.”

1 Timothy 5:16 • “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them,

for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.”

Does this remind you of “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil 2:12)?

Or Paul’s concern that after preaching to others he might be disqualified (1 Cor 9:27)?

Hebrews 10:36-39 • “ ‘Now the just shall live by faith; but IF anyone draws back,

My soul has no pleasure in him.’  But we are not of those who draw back to perdition,

but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.”

In this last part, Paul displays his usual tactful method of softening his dire warnings

with encouragement and exhortation, and he is hopeful that none of them fall away!

Revelation 2:10 • “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of (eternal) life.”

The fun part about this is: “the crown of life” is eternal life! … Research it for yourself,

and note James 1:12-15 … he warns to not be deceived: sin brings forth eternal death.

 

No OSAS for Christians who don’t do what is required of them

1 Timothy 6:9-19 • “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare,

and into may foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil … Let them (rich Christians) do good,

that they may be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for them-

selves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”

If you are a Christian who desires to be rich, beware of the possible consequences!

IMO, the “good foundation for the time to come” refers to when Christians are judged.

Jude 20-21 • “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith,

praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,

looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”

Our eternal life depends on Jesus’ mercy, which depends on us!

So, let us all agree: “Faith without works is dead (useless)” (James 2:20)

 

No OSAS for Christians who do not inherit (enter) the kingdom of God

First, these 2 passages prove that “the kingdom of God” is analogous to heaven …

Mark 9:47 “And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter

the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire”

Matt 25:34-46 “Come, you (the righteous) blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom

prepared for you from the foundation of the world … And these (the unrighteous)

will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

The unrighteous (e.g. habitual sinners) will NOT inherit the kingdom of God …

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 • “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit

the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters,

nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous,

nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

There are several “sin lists” which keep Christians out of the kingdom and heaven.

 

Note: I have not included in the above Jesus’ many warnings in the 4 Gospels.

Your posting sounds more like there's no OSAS for non-Christians.

Eternal Security can of course be found for any child of God that has repented and made Jesus Lord

of his/her life.

Yes :)There is OSAS for all born again true believers.

Once again, we are saved by what we believe, not how we behave. Why do the OSAS opponents continue to post their delusion of salvation through faith plus works? Will it ever end? How many topics will be started with this same ol' dribble?

Just for example ...

When the NT says all liars will be cast into hell,

it is obviously warning everyone on the face

of the earth of this fate!

But, you people are so deceived by Satan

through the churches that you believe:

non-believers who sin habitually go to hell

while ...

believers who sin habitually go to heaven.

News Flash ...

the whole entire Bible warns: sin results in eternal death.

Keep reading John in s/Spirit says we all are sinners... you were a sinner and are still sinning... right?

1 Jn 1:10

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
KJV

The problem is that none of that describes genuine followers of Jesus.   True Christians do ever do those things in the first place.  So your position really doesn't speak to OSAS.

True Christians don't sin habitually.  No one who sins habitually was ever saved.  OSAS is predicated on someone becoming a genuine believer.   Your premise that true Christians can live in habitual sin is non-starter.  You have an erroneous idea as to what a true Christian is.

Please, folks, this is NOT a OSAS only site. Please stop coming here and harping on this one issue. Is that what your whole relationship with Christ and His Church is all about? I am getting so sick of all the new topics being posted on this site dealing with OSAS. Why not talk about how to live as a Christian, how to reach the lost, ect.....? Give us all a break, all you know-it-alls who don't know anything at all about being a Christian or interacting on a Christian forum.

Actually, I get a little entertainment value out of it.  It's amusing to watch these newbies come on here with arguments they think will be the silver bullet when in fact, its' nothing but same warmed over stew we have read time and again.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
