Question for those who do not believe in "Eternal Security"
Some people believe that they can loose their salvation, either by some particular sin or by rejecting Christ and having nothing more to do with Him.My question for those who believe this is, what happens to the new spiritual species that God creates at the moment of spiritual birth, if you loose your salvation? Paul tell us that we are new creatures created in Him. 2 cor 5 v 17 says ,....he is a new creature... in romans 6 v 6 paul tells us that as far as God is concerned, the old man is crucified (dead) and we are to reckon the new man to be alive onto God.Paul clearly states in many passages the principle of old man/new man and the indwelling of the Trinity in the new man. Again the question, if the 2 verses are true (and they are) what happens to the new creature God creates if you believe that you can loose you salvation?
A reasonable question, and I certainly respect your right to hold and
express your views! I hope that you will be equally open to my own
observations...
When a baby is first conceived, it is also a "new
creation", but just as it is possible for there to be a physical
miscarriage, there can also be a spiritual "miscarriage", better known as
"apostasy" in the scripture. Our salvation is both received and maintained
on the basis of FAITH. Faith is the umbilical cord by which we are
connected to - and sealed in - Christ. But "faith without works" (obedience
and action as described in Hebrews) is "DEAD" and believers who continue in
such a state will ultimately be "assigned a place with unbelievers."
Personally, I do not believe that signing up to run the race is the same
thing as finishing the race and collecting your prize...
