“Penciled In”

Categories: SALVATION
     Once you get saved, do you believe you can lose your salvation?  I've read that once you’re saved, you’re forever saved, but I’ve also read that your name can be wiped from the Book.

Sincerely,
How Safe Am I?

Dear How Safe Am I,

The Bible clearly says that you can lose your salvation.  Heb 3:12 says that we must be wary and protect our hearts because an evil, unbelieving heart can fall away.  2 Pet 3:17 says that we can lose our salvation if we get caught up in false teaching (1 Tim 4:1 also states this).  If we return to a life of ungodliness, then we crucify Christ again (Heb 6:4-6).  Rev 2:10 says we must be faithful unto death if we wish to receive the heavenly prize.
