THE ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED DOCTRINE



After reading what the Bible says about salvation and those departing from the faith, let's look at Biblical examples of OSAS.


Genesis 3:3-4
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

The lie of OSAS has been around since the beginning of creation. It was the very first thing that Satan used to get Eve, and He uses it yet today!  Don't worry, little child, sin cannot destroy you, for it is no longer an issue! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!


Jude 3-4
3: Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4: For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude writes that we should earnestly contend for the faith, which is the opposite of what these certain men were teaching, which was a license for immorality, allowing true Grace to coincide with sin.  This is OSAS, that sin can coincide with grace.

1 Thessalonians 4:7,8
7: For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8: He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Many OSAS preachers despise the holiness that God has called us to by permitting sin.
