I'm still learning about it but I think its important to realize the response when someone "leaves the faith" is the same regardless of theologically differences. We should work to bring that brother back into relationship with Christ and overwhelm them with love and support. That's consistent with people who believe in total apostasy and eternal security
For me, the doctrine that you can lose your salvation, has been an unbearable burden that leads me to despair and more sin. It’s turns my focus from Jesus and His wonderful grace to my lame self and a constant futile striving for the approval I should know I already have in Christ.
Is it possible for a true child of God to struggle with the same sin repeatedly? Not willingly but with heaps of remorse- just losing battles more often than winning them, so to speak?
Once you’re saved, sin becomes a poison that taste bitter on the tongue. Once you accept Christ, sin just doesn’t have the same appeal. I’ve sinned after accepting Christ, I still do sometimes. I struggle. I’m a sinner. Small and big. And every time I feel like I’m slapping my friend in the face. In my journey, I’ve come to realize that I’m my own biggest enemy. My flesh. At one point, I was so ridden with guilt and negative self talk. My perception of myself diminished when I sinned against God. Then I had a thought. Jesus gives authority over these things! In my journey, I needed to learn how to forgive myself for falling short. Fellow brothers and sisters struggling with sin, take comfort in this- the battle has been won already! When the enemy knocks on your conscience with knives and bitter words, tell your enemy that they do not have authority over you. In the name of Jesus!
I like your words. And i bélieve that even though im a sinner. I will ne free and i home that all my siblings un christ will ne free. And i Bélieve that we a son christians are more powerful than we think.i used to consider sin as a very strong rival (enemy) but jesus sin stronger and we should not fear thé dévil. ( sorry i m french )
This could be why we're under Grace, because God knows we struggle sometimes, but are trying with the aid of the Holy Spirit, to NOT keep on sinning. Like Mr. T said "Does God expect us to be perfect? Nope, but he expects us to be HUMBLE."
“We cannot be entertained by the sins for which Christ died,” John MacArthur The love of Jesus pushes us to live holy lives. Christ’s work on the cross is supposed to take us out of sin not right into sin.
The work on the cross was done to free us from the death brought on by sin. Nothing else. Do not confused justification with sanctification. Works will save no one. We should try to avoid sin as much as we can, but we all sin every single day, and will struggle with it until the day we die.
Yes I believe once you’re saved that’s it! Those truly saved will not want to continue in sin. We’ll struggle with it but now we’re on a journey to becoming more like Christ!
@@dbdekudb6338 no, he wasn't. He died before Christ's death and resurrection. The fact that he betrayed the Lord showed that he was never a true believer. Even Jesus said "Woe unto the one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed, for it would have been better for him had he never been born."
@@dbdekudb6338 you're comparing Peter's denial due to the pressures caused by his fears with Judas' purposeful act of setting up Jesus to be tortured and killed due to his own greed. That's a huge reach. Just because they're both a form of betrayal, that doesn't make them exactly the same thing. Sin has different weight levels to them. Denying the Lord is definitely bad but it didn't have the same weight as delivering Him up to His enemies for a quick payoff. Before you try to bring up the scripture I had initially quoted, based on scripture, that "woe" was in the context of the Lord being betrayed by being handed over to the Pharisees. It didn't apply to Peter's betrayal; hence the reason why Peter was given the chance to repent while Judas had ended up killing himself without repentance. Also, Peter, for the most part, had shown himself as faithful to the Lord prior to his sin whereas Judas was only shown as a thief who skimmed out of the moneybag since he was the treasurer of the group. There's a reason why you never see Judas mentioned as much as the other disciples when it comes to them seeking wisdom from the Lord. He was never faithful in the first place.
@@iveacendedboyos1555 not sure why you're quoting that scripture to me since I was talking about Peter who obviously was forgiven. Christ can still forgive someone who had denied Him if they repent of it.
I also love how he makes it clear that "Paul said," or "Jesus said," so people can't twist his words to say "Sir Allen said." Just a small, clever detail here.
@@kennysfdg471 I was being a bit cheeky with that last bit about Augustine, a man who I respect in a lot of ways but who also got a lot wrong, but, I’ll not go into that. My more important point is that the doctrine of OSAS is a product of John Calvin’s double predestination/election theory. One that is utterly heretical, and goes against Gods true grace. Augustine may or may not have taught predestination, but he absolutely taught the doctrine of Created Grace, and that’s another heresy and problem that has done all kinds of damage to Western Christianity.
@@LightOfAllMankind What is this "predestination" and "Created Grace"? Would that be like God chooses people He wants to save, or some people are saved or won't be saved because God chooses to send them to hell? And to my knowledge, John Calvin is the creator of Calvinism? The thing John MacArthur (a pastor in California) believes in? I think I understand this, but I want to make sure.
I wouldn’t trust the ‘once saved always saved lie’. First of all it’s only for a remnant of Israel (black folks scattered in slavery or suffered colonialism) and secondly there’s no salvation until Christ returns Matthew 24:13. The constant racism, oppression, humiliation, last hired and first fired that we go through is the endurance test. Christ is our protection and saviour.
Thank you Lord for never leaving us nor forsaking us even when we sin. Thanks for offering your new mercies every morning and for paying the eternal price for my sins past, present and future. Thanks brother Allen for explaining this so well and clear.
In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9). He died middle aged and went to hell forever it was dark but Jesus lit up the area, he asked Jesus for another chance but unfortunately it was too late for him, Pretty sad, Repent and ask Jesus to help you with your struggles (James 4:7)
Hey family 🤗 Today is Good Friday!!! I don’t know about you but all day I’ve had such a spirit of gratitude for what Jesus did for me on the cross!!! I am No longer a slave to sin but a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!
I have felt the exact same way! I have been giving thanks today more than others! Not that other days are any less, but I think you know what I mean! ✝️❤❣💯😊 Jesus Saved me, that's for sure!
I think the wording "once saved is always saved" is bit misleading. At the core of it, I think I understand the message people intend to convey. We are saved by grace through faith, and not work. Thanks brother Allen.
Faith saves us and works (GOD’s works) justifies us. If the works do not follow our faith then we are denying GOD. “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:22, 24 KJV “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16 KJV
@@DuaneXplain This is not free grace and not OSAS. You are trusting in yourself. You cannot mix grace and works. You either will trust Jesus or yourself
@@DuaneXplain Do you believe that if we continue sinning and not turn from sin that we will not go to heaven? If your answer is is yes, you are trusting in works. If your answer is know, then you know the gospel
Make sure as a you are a repentant Christian. Read the Bible daily and pray often throughout the day, the devil is trying to make lukewarm Christians everywhere (Rev 3:16). Join us in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. If you tell everyone that you are a mechanic but day in and out, you do the work of an accountant are you truly a mechanic? No, you are an accountant. Likewise, a Christian by name who lives contrary to Jesus’ teachings by living sinful/worldly is not a real Christian.
Someone who submits to GOD and is therefore changed by GOD will not live as they did before. They will not live completely sin free. But they will love what they once hated and they will hate what once loved. I loved, drinking, lusting, hating, fighting and so many other things that GOD hates. I hated GOD, but I love him now. And it was all GOD'S doing.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Cor 15:1-4) This tells us we are saved if we stand firm in the Gospel that St Paul preached earlier. It is not the entire Gospel Jut the first part they received. We see this when Jesus speaks on the subject (Luke 9:24-2-24, Matt 16:21-27) Unless you think he was lying God bless you
Brother Allen, thank you so much for making this video. I have been struggling so much because I feel that I am not good enough, but I know in my heart that no one is good enough. My biggest fear is that when I die, God will say, “Depart from Me, I never knew you”. Now I know for certain that these feelings are from the enemy and satan is trying to steal my peace. God bless you brother. ❤️
John 10:27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3
The fact that you are concerned most likely means you are saved and I am only saying most likely because I can't decide who has truly given their life to Jesus.
If you have been born again you are saved, Roman's 8:1 says there is now no condemnation for those who know Christ, who don't walk by the flesh, but by the Spirit God bless you in your journey of faith
Thank you for this Bro Allen! I've been studying this very issue- as a Christian it's very discouraging when dealing with sin because no one is in sinless perfection.. this is so comforting.
Brother Allen, I've only looked into these topics for about fivish hours and when I understood that once I am saved, I am always saved, I felt a grand sense of relief and anxiety lift off my shoulders. I then stumbled across the "license to sin" and our eternal salvation in Christ does not mean we can sin, though that contradicts the first statement. How is it that once we are saved, we are always saved and yet we have no "license to sin"? It's truly either one or the other, and I feel a lack of straightforwardness for fear of Christians taking advantage of this license to veer away from Christ. Either we are forever born again and saved, or we are not due to our sin. I believe we are able to sin without losing our salvation, but I personally do not want to sin because out of faith and out of the desires of the Spirit I want to continue to mature in Christ. I do believe we have the freewill to sin without losing our salvation, but that we shouldn't because as Paul says, it's absurd and foolish.
I don't use the idea as a liscense to sin actually I want to stop doing it I'm just feeling trapped and entangled into sin and instead of thinking of it as a liscense I'm actually feeling like I'll go to hell for being trapped into sin and being too weak to resist I know I am saved by grace and grace alone but sometime I'm just doubting because of myself I look at myself and I'm ashamed and broken, I look at my life and it makes me feel like I'm the worst person and don't even deserve to call myself child of God I'm ashamed of the way I live. This world has failed me countless of times and yet I keep goinf back to it and getting more and more broken like I'm trapped in a loop and I just want a way out of this nightmare I wish to walk on the path of rightgeousness and stay on it the old me when I was firat saved would be ashamed of what I've become. Most days it makes me think maybe God should have taken me out of this world when I got saved I have suicidal thoughts daily I am just so broken
Ah bro..that touched me..Listen..when you first believed, in that moment, you were saved and will be for eternity come. I go through the exact same doubts and it's a mixture of these principalities in the heavens and our flesh which deceives us into believing our doubts.. but how good is God for reminding us of our already inherited salvation and that we are complete in him. You will never leave the grip of his right hand and HE WILL perform the good work he started in you..just keep pressing into him every day at a time. I'm not talking from an attitude of being better, just to be clear. I may do worse things than you..dont know.. but his grace super abounds over our sin, and he will bring us into glory!
Also..your desire to walk.in righteousness is a sign of his love in you..you cant self.produce a love for God..he planted it into you..as per 1John scripture. So rejoice when you feel close to him, and remind yourself of his truths when you feel distant
The fact that you are worried proves that it isnt over. When I was in that same situation my fellow Christian friend told me " The devil doesn't mess with a dead horse" . The fact that you know it's a struggle proves that the spirit is guiding you. No man comes to Jesus, unless he is led by the Father. "Fight the Good fight". And remember Christ died so that SINNERS may be saved. I was there, and I still battle with these thoughts. Dont lose hope!!😁
@@JSPainting_and_Drawing it is not over but theres no way on earth that God will let me into heaven if I keep giving in and living this way I just wish I wasn't there anymore tbh sorry if I'm kind of depressive
Once a person is truly converted and have the Holy Spirit there desire is always to please God. They may sin, but the conviction of the Holy Spirit draws them back to repent! Good teaching Allen!
@@DuaneXplain Nothing else is needed for salvation Then it would be works We have been saved unto good works " We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 We show our faith by our works. Faith without works is dead We are Saved for good works We are not saved by good works
@@jessyjonas4988 I understand we are saved by grace I never denied that but what about confessing, repentance, baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost? That’s needed for salvation in addition to our faith correct? You only referenced one scripture what about all the rest of the Bible?
@@DuaneXplain This is all Pentecostal and Lordship heresy. Be careful not to fall for this mess. You do not need to speak in tongues, you receive the spirit when you believe the Gospel. Water baptism is a work and therefore does not save, although being baptized after we are saved itsnt a bad idea. The only one we should confess to is God. And repentance is believing the gospel, not turning or repenting from sin. God bless you
I had a pastor ask me this question a long time ago, and I said YES. Because I knew someone who was saved but now lives a life of sin and still do. I had 1 pastor that said you could loose your salvation. And I ask another pastor this question and he would not talk about. So I was confused. Thank you for explaining it to me!
Sorry but we misuse his grace all the time..its not about that though. It's about how loving and loyal he is and how he demonstrates it in us when we do misuse his grace.
@@thehourifirstbelieved3655 I just meant that if we love Him we will not live continuously in sin (misusing grace) so that it may aboud, as Paul wrote in Romans. Any time we sin it is misusing His grace though, you're absolutely right.
@@realisticallyrose2310 ok but your continuing in sin will look different to.someone else, you know.. you may not drink, smoke we etc..but the person you're judging to see if they're a Christian may be..we can only know by the profession of someone if they're born again..not by their living.. Sorry if you already knew that..
@@thehourifirstbelieved3655 I don't disagree with you lol The Lord knows our hearts and we will be known by our fruit, which develop over time. That is to be judging someone's justification by their sanctification which we have to be careful about, bc they may simply be working slower in some things. This is why brotherly love is so important- we cannot play Holy Spirit in another's life ♥️
I’m 50 years old and I’m so glad to finally understand Eternal Security really means. It don’t make me wanna sin, the more He loves me unconditionally the more I want to love Him and others.
I appreciate you again and I believe you have really been touched by God. I did come at you the other day about Hebrews 10:26 . You did a great job on this episode, explaining. It's just that Hebrews 10:26 says if you continue on sinning after saved there no longer remains a sacrifice to cover your sins. Would love to hear from you. But none the less, you are awesome with your work.
The assurance of eternal salvation gives me much needed comfort and confidence, despite that I still struggle with addiction, I believe God has helped me tremendously because I hate sin so much and I hate that I keep falling into it. I'm thankful for how far he has brought me, but man, I just want to be on the other side and free of it already. I have changed a lot thank the Lord, and I especially struggled with those unbiblical ideas for the past few months, but thankfully got out of them and embraced the truth recently, however I still doubt and worry constantly, and with the way the world is going there's so many people talking about Jesus' coming again soon, which only fills me with more worry and doubt because I feel so unprepared, as if there's really anything I can do to prepare.
I was a bad drug addict God helped me brought me so far but am not perfect but I had ask Jesus if this something I doing show me help me with it and he will comdem u if u doing something wrong if u fill bad about doing anything don't do it
Thank you so much, Allen! What a wonderful video! I've always struggled with eternal security in Jesus. Satan loves to tempt me into thinking that God doesn't love me, or that I've somehow left God when I sin. I'm currently in Galatians, and I just got to the part in 3:3 where Paul says, "How foolish can you be? After *starting your new lives* in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?" It's a wonderful reminder to me that Christ paid for it all, and that I would be utterly foolish to try and work for my salvation.
"Our good works and obedience that we do is the fruit of our salvation, not the root of our salvation. It's not what gets us saved or what keeps us saved, it's what we do because we are saved and because we love the Lord." 🗣 Preach preacher! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Honestly this is the most clear teaching I have heard on this subject. My heart has been burdened for years for those in my circle of family and friends who were saved as children and walked away from God and for those that I love who say they are believers but live as if they are not. I am so thankful that God’s grace covers us all!
My sister the Bible says that we have to work on our salvation with fear and trembling. God will not be mocked whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap. Grace is not a license to live anyhow. It is one thing to fall into sin and repent but a lifestyle of sin is different. Deliberately making the choice to live in sin tells Jesus that he died in vain. Imagine giving rules to your kids and they deliberately disobey because you are a merciful mother. Even humans cannot condone such behavior. What do you think of the God who created man and the universe. God doesn't owe us anything. He chose to buy us back with his blood. Once that transaction has been made, we need not take him for granted.
We cannot re-crucify Christ.He’s final words were “it is done”. ❤️❤️❤️. I love this topic and thank you in behalf of many. God bless you brother Allen.
Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
This 2 verses always brings me so much hope in God’s given salvation. Philippians 1:6; “being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. And John 6:39 Good News Translation 39 And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day. Also Romans 7. 21 So I find this law at work:(V) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(W) I delight in God’s law;(X) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(Y) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(Z) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AA) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AB) So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AC) but in my sinful nature[c] a slave to the law of sin
@@nickrussell8029 This is even not written to us, the gentile Believers in Christ, but to the believing Remnant of Israel in the Time of God's Wrath. Please learn to rightly divide the Word of truth.
Finally!! Someone speaking the truth. Once saved always saved, but it does not give you the ability to run amok and turn your back on the rules of God. We all need to follow the life of Jesus as much as possible and spread the word and love one another.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
This is the best presentation of this issue I've ever heard or seen. Thank you for presenting this issue in a way that is crystal clear. For those of us working on being obedient to God, you've answered questions that left unanswered, can leave one feeling tormented, guilty, or shamed knowing they can never reach that critical level of acceptance by God through our own efforts. Excellent. Thank you Allen.
In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9).

When i got Saved,i then realized how wicked of a sinner i really was.I really saw how imperfect i was and worthless before God.People who say works are required to get/keep Salvation and can be lost don't actually see how desperately they need a Saviour.They can't really comprehend how helpless their flesh is.

It's the first time when I heard the complete explanation about not loosing the salvation. From this two perspectives: we are saved by grace, someone may not be saved at all if they are living sin. We cannot be unsaved. 1 Corinthians 6:12 and 10:23. Thank you!
This message was awesome! Thank you for being so clear about this subject. I had struggled with this subject a lot because the church I had been attending was Armenian and the things they were teaching I really struggled with. The whole belief that I could lose my salvation held me hostage to Satan and guilt and shame for years. Now that I have embraced the truth, I can live free from the depression that had consumed me. I was living every day in fear of not being saved because I couldn't be perfect. Now, I know that I can trust that God really does love me enough to hold me in His hands forever. That the sacrifice that Jesus made on my behalf was not temporary. I actually believe that I was not truly saved before I accepted this truth. That I didn't truly believe that Jesus died for ALL of my sins. I believe that is a huge part of salvation, we NEED to believe that Jesus's sacrifice was fully and completely redemptive. That it has full power over our sins. If we don't believe that then I don't think we have faith in the right Christ. I had to admit that after watching this video. I don't think I had faith in the true Christ. I had faith in a weak Christ that did not fully take on all of my sins and who couldn't save me forever. I am so thankful that this truth has been revealed. I am repenting again, and this time I have complete faith that Jesus, the REAL CHRIST WHO DIED FOR ALL OF MY SINS, did so for all eternity. He freed me forever! I do not need to be so consumed with losing my salvation. I can focus on the freedom of my salvation completely and live in it. ❤
I. Is the middle word in sIn . Wait what? Now you're saved but before you weren't? Read all posts from JGq for context that "Allan" left out. Isaiah 1 1-18 but the posts are Concordance. 👍
True, so what do you do if you did sin? Are you saying you don’t need to ask God for forgiveness? Or do you just sweep it under the rug and move on like “Oh well I’ve been saved I’m good”?
@Naz Jesus tells you to confess your sins to one another. You can’t just go on sinning without saying I’m sorry, that has nothing to do with what He has done for us. I don’t think you’re getting the idea that yes His blood covers sins but contrition brings a man to confess and ask forgiveness.
Yes but it won’t keep you from being tempted to sometimes. Those times you fall to temptation you feel guilty about what you did. Now it’s worth noting I think that the Enemy tries to turn that guilt into shame and into thinking or feeling you aren’t saved.
Christ be with you Sorry that is nonsense The Holy Spirit will cause Changes with in you but to say you will not want to sin is ridiculous. The Holy Spirit will often get drowned out by they world and our own desires. It is those who resist who will receive eternal life (James 1:12-16) God bless you
Marty H This is a teaching that all Christians need no matter how long they have been following Jesus because it doesn't hurt to review things from a different point of view. I finally have a strong handle on this very important subject.
This doctrine has put peace in my heart that has been in turmoil for so long. The doctrine of eternal security actually drives me to more holiness bc im so grateful to God for this gift of salvation. Allen, you do a great job of backing up your beliefs with sound Bible teaching and it’s truly refreshing to my spirit. I can’t thank you and this channel enough.
Be careful with false prophets. Check Matthew 7 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [s]miracles?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Key here’s “the one who does the will of my Father”. What about DOES is not clear to you guys. Blessings.
@@ricardosal2356 Amen! I don’t see how anyone can believe in OSAS when reading scripture as it is. James 2 covers this in its entirety identifying that faith without works os dead. Perfect faith or faith that saves has works backing it up. God wants proof of our faith. How many times Jesus told us to endure until the end and you shall be saved? James 2:24 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
The best part of this video is at 13:26...he fails to realize that someone could ask the very same question to him at what point do you know someone is saved? How many fruits do they have to show? Are they loving once a week? Twice? Once a month once every 2 months? How many fruits are needed to be shown to know you have roots? I love it haha
A few years ago, soon after I got baptized, I fell into sin. I didn’t even necessarily think of it as a sin, but I knew it was wrong. Once I realized that it was wrong I began to fight against it. But I couldn’t. It was a fight that last over a year. I felt so angered with myself and so ashamed that I couldn’t get rid of the sin. I kept asking God for strength but I was too weak. But one day I put it in his hands, because I knew I couldn’t do it alone. I haven’t committed that sin since. I was young and ignorant when I fell into it and I had to get into the word and learn how to combat the sin before getting my victory. But because of those years of struggle with sin, and short months of doing it without thinking about it was a sin but knowing it wasn’t right. That’s why I came to this video.
Ezekiel 18:20 - “But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live?

This scripture is the one no one likes to talk about. Thanks for posting. I have a few rebuttals for this video but I'm too sleepy to comment tonight. It's much too late. However, I will say that quoting "nothing can separate us from the love of God" is what confuses people to believe that they can do anything and still get to heaven. Nothing will separate you from His LOVE but sin will separate you from Him! Isaiah 59:1-3. God will love even when you make your bed in hell. But that doesn't mean you get to spend eternity with Him. We need to be careful with that scripture. This was a good video on this topic but until I hear Holy Spirit tell me different, I have to disagree with this one. There was a lot of questionable things he said and some that kind of took scripture out of context so if you dont know the Word for yourself and hear from God yourself, this is how you can be taught in error. I still love this guy though. Truth is, we will probably never know until Jesus comes.
@@nimo4503 the problem with using the passage from Ezekiel has to do with 1. The wording talks about the man’s own righteousness, which scripture tells us is as filthy rags. When we get saved it’s not our righteousness, we have the righteousness of Christ (which will never decrease). 2. Romans 8 is pretty clear, NOTHING means nothing. We cannot say nothing but then say “but this thing can” that doesn’t make any logical sense to the passage. The point of Jesus’s death was to reconcile us to God, to say we can get re-separated just because of one sin is to nullify what Christ did since he already completely paid the price for all sin. Jesus broke the power and authority of Sin so we who get saved would be able to count ourselves DEAD to sin and alive to God in Christ. I’m tired of people separating what is to be together. When you get saved, it’s not just a positional change, the Holy Spirit changes your heart and gives you new desires. Philippians 2:13 is pretty clear that God gives us the desire and ability to do what pleases him. Genuine believers despise sin, not because it’s called sin but because their heart has been changed to it. I do (not perfectly) what God desires me to do, not because of obligation, but because I love him since he loved me first. Anyone that is saved, will be kept till the end by God. Why? Because God is not only faithful, but because he works in the believer to make them look more and act more like Christ. To think someone can be saved yet their is no change in their heart towards sin so they can just “live however they want and leave Jesus” is an oxymoron. Believers WILL be obedient, we can’t act like “well yeah you are saved but you also need to be obedient” as if they are different things. If you are saved, you will strive to grow in Christ because you LOVE him since he’s CHANGED YOU. We have a problem with making things difficult when scripture makes it plain, it isn’t multiple separate things. The flow of salvation, sanctification, and glorification is a consistent stream.
Breaking down Matt. 7:23 is GOOOOD! May our Lord bless you in your acts of loving obedience, Brother Allen. I appreciate you taking time to share truths of God's Word. Happy Resurrection Day, family of God! Love to all! Jesus is Lord!
I am 56 years old and was raised in the Holiness Church were my dad ranted and raved against once saved and always saved. He talked against the Baptist until his daughter, me, became involved in music in a Baptist Church. It has been a journey but let me say that through Jesus I was able to convince him that God's grace covers it all and you cannot lose your salvation. Thank you for talking about the subject.
@@otisrucks7037, the Bible says that the disciples were all doing miracles and casting out devils. Jesus said, "Satan can't cast out Satan." So, if they were successful in casting out devils they were ALL saved, including Judas. But he fell away, then committed suicide. He's not in heaven, my friend. He did not "keep" his salvation.
This definitely gave me a way more better understanding which confirms and helps me to believe I am saved and I’m on the road to heaven thank you Jesus for choosing me🙏🏾🕊️
Great video, what I hear a lot is the doctrine of the reprobate mind being applied to the Christian. I think this confusion REALLY needs to be cleared up. Please do a video on this. Thank you.
I think the last verse of "come thou fount of every blessing" gets it right: 'O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.'
Thank you so much for this I needed it everyone has a different idea on how God really works and I sometimes get stressed wanting to obey him but now I see God will never leave me and will still love me when I sin without realizing I’m sinning and he will turn me into a better man everyday. Love you and God bless you ❤️
Same! I've been combing through pastors and scripture trying to figure out if I'm being enough for God and EVERYONE seems to have a different idea of what the scriptures mean. I pray about it but it's hard because I'm not a theologian lol obviously. This is comforting.
Love the topic about salvation. I know when I was saved, I didn't have the vocabulary of what it meant to be a Christian. For the first two years I just stumbled until I got discipled. I've been a Christian for 16 years Ive never been more grateful. During my years of being a baby in Christ, I messed up a lot on the fundamentals of sins- (I don't know if you what I mean.) By the end of my two years I was spent on defying God on these issues, and he healed me from those sins. Now I hated what I was doing because the holy spirit lived in me and eventually I didnt want to do any of those “big” sins and would pray that God would end those struggles. Yet, I know some people are moved by a sermon and raise their hands for salvation. They don’t have that heart transformation I mean they continue to live their lives the same. There isn’t any remorse for there sin. Even as a baby Christian I knew I was sinning because I’d get this yucky feeling of I don’t think this is right and I struggled for years, yet I didn't question my salvation- so yes, I ascribe to once saved always saved. I have this family member who claims to be saved yet loves their sin even defends it. Sometimes I think they don’t understand what salvation is. I love this person so much. However, I can’t know their heart. When they ask me if they are considered to be saved, I just tell them I can’t tell you if you're saved. I wish I knew more I'm not judging them I too am a sinner in need of a savor. I just can't tell them they are saved when they want to continue in their sin and not even desiring to trying and or trying and failing.
Thank you for this video. I actually woke up and read this text (Romans 5 and 6) in my devotional. Then watching your video clarified things. God bless!!!
Christ be with you If you think Rom 5 and 6 reaches once saved always saved I think you need to read it again. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Rom 6:16) Protestantism has created a distortion of what faith in Jesus Christ is. It turns him into a liar. What do you think faith in Jesus Christ is? God bless you
Great teaching, I've always had in the back of my mind if I did something or not do something that I had lost my Salvation or even if I really got saved in the first place, but thankfully through the Holy Spirit He reveals his presence in me by his comfort, teaching, and conviction .
I love, love, love how you take a difficult concept, which we believers struggle with daily, and you simplify things down to a level that even I can understand. Thank you Brother Allen, once again you've nailed it!!!
In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9). He died middle aged and went to hell forever it was dark but Jesus lit up the area, he asked Jesus for another chance but unfortunately it was too late for him, Pretty sad, Repent and ask Jesus to help you with your struggles (James 4:7)
WOW, This Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Made my day. I was not taught the Gospel of Christ this way. Rather it was on Obeying all the Laws by works that I am saved. Allen, Your a really Great Man of God. I love you for sharing this Gospel of Jesus Christ with a person such as I. I am so Grateful indeed.
The end question is a question that does have an answer. One that I've given to others and an answer that usually draws backlash from the soul that still has a heart for sin and wickedness. When a person looks at sin through the lense of quantity then the person doesn't see sin for what it is. 👉Its not about the quantity of sin, its about the quality of the heart.👈 It took one sin for Adam to fall. There's no amount of sins that causes us to lose our salvation, its the state of our heart that causes us to lose our salvation. And so you have to ask yourself, does a heart that has been supposedly changed by God still sin? 👉If so then sadly deception is at the door. If not, then understanding is not far from such a person.👈 God didn't care for the amount of sins Israel committed, he just wanted them to stop doing evil and be holy as he is holy because that is what holiness involves and it takes pure faith and love. A departure from sin is the end result of a changed heart by God. God has a distinct seal for those that not only are his children but are his children who actually love him not just by their mouths, but by their faithfulness in deeds in this life. The blind separate faith from faithfulness in an attempt to nullify the consequences of on going battles with sin to allow sin and holiness to dwell one with another and still lead to eternal life. We are warned not to be deceived, not because no one will be deceived, but because many will be deceived by self deception because of their unfaithfulness to God to depart from evil or deception through others. 2 Timothy 2:19 19Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
That passage of Scripture in Matthew also refers to those individuals who have false conversions. There is a false gospel that's popular in our time that claims that to get saved, you just have to say a prayer and that's it. I have a problem with this idea. A person who is truly converted first sees their own sinfulness and understands their depravity. They acknowledge that there is nothing they can do about it themselves. Their "good deeds" cannot outweigh their bad. There also needs to be godly sorrow. Also, a penalty must be paid for those sins. God's justice works the same way that human justice works. Let's say that I get caught speeding and have to go to court. I face the judge, and he says: you are charged with speeding. How do you plead? If I answer, wait, your honor, I did all these good deeds for others, can't that get me off the hook? If he's a good judge, he will say: that has nothing to do with the bad deed of speeding. You broke the law, penalty must be paid. So you then plead guilty. Just when you are sentenced, your best friend gets up and says to the judge, please, your honor, I will pay the penalty. The judge nods his head and accepts payment from your best friend. The judge then turns his head towards you and says, the fine is paid, you are free to go. Down goes the gavel. Yessirree, you are free to go! The fine is paid! All you have to do is believe it with ALL your heart! No more shame, your record is clear! No one can hold it against you anymore! What a wonderful Savior we have in Jesus! I think a big part of our spiritual battles are related to how we see our identity in Christ. No matter how big or small the sin is, Jesus says: please don't beat yourself up over that sin. I died for that sin, too! You will probably have to go through this many, many times before it sinks in. Just remember this--all that sin has been thrown into the lake of forgetfulness, with a sign at the shore that says, "No Fishing Allowed!" 😊👍Never forget God's holiness, but also remember that since He knows everything, you can't disappoint Him. Read the parable of the Prodigal Son, that's how our heavenly Father treats us! He's loving and tenderhearted. Believe it and thank God for it! He is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving! 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌😊❤
I remember first reading the gospels. Matthew 7:21 was so hard to swallow. Jesus follows this up with the story of the builder who built his house on the sand. Jesus made it very clear. People just dont want to hear that they need to change.
Matthew 7: 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7: 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? What is the WILL OF GOD? John 6: 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The WILL OF GOD is BELIEVING ON the SON (Jesus who died and rose again). Who are those who DO WONDERFUL WORKS, CAST OUT devils and PROPHESY in His name BUT do NOT do the WILL OF GOD? Obviously they are FALSE PROPHETS who AREN’T SAVED BELIEVERS! Matthew 7: 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It looks like there are MANY of these WOLVES in sheep’s clothing in today’s Christianity. They are NOT BELIEVERS! Matthew 7: 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23 AREN’T spoken to believers! Jesus will tell them to DEPART from Him because He DOESN’T KNOW them as they are UNBELIEVERS who practise INIQUITIES. JESUS KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS!
My goodness, great video Allen. Because of God's grace, we are now free from the law. But someone asking if they can continue to sin is a trick question. Because someone who is truly saved will genuinely want to serve God - not to maintain their salvation but because Jesus is lord of their life
Caught this upload very early! Thank Mr. Parr for everything you do. Also our church touched on this subject as well. WOW the timing is too good, more knowledge
I have struggled with sexual addiction as a Christian since I was young and it plagues my heart so deeply! I am still trying to break free so any prayer would be much appreciated and I am so thankful for you ALL! Thank you Allen! God Bless you!
Prayer sent my brother! You're struggling because the Spirit is alive in you and that's a ray of hope. We are commanded of daily denial of self and taking up our cross. Continue to fight the good fight of faith. We all can do this.
I struggled for years and did with my wife before we got married but there came a point when the conviction was too much and I'm thankful for that. There was satisfaction in sex in the moment but that satisfaction was quickly replaced with guilt, shame, and sorrow immediately afterwards. You'll need to pray for strength and be sure to guard your heart, mind, and your eyes. God always leaves a way out during temptation listen and look for those cues. I'll be praying for you
Christ be with you But he didn't say anything. He did not prove his point nor did he address the points of others. he is a false teacher Rev 3:1-6 shows us OSAS is false God bless you
There has to be a significant change in the person if he/she really did accept God as Lord and Savior. If there’s Not then The person was never saved. It’s simple “Go and sin no more” NOT “Go and Sin More, you’ve believed in me anyway”
@@Jesus_Mendoza1 no it does not. Have you always obeyed your parents? Dos that mean your not alive? My point is we all SIN no sin is different to God it’s all sin, and Jesus died for all of them. I’m going to heaven because he died for all of my sins no because of my lifestyle. You add one work to the FREE GIFT then you eliminate salvation by grace
@@Tyler_Foshie so you are telling me a drug addict, a homosexual, etc… is gonna go to heaven? Of course not!!! You have to repent from your sins and REALLY repent. To have a Deep feeling of regret and NOT doing it again. You CAN loose your salvation and you can Go to hell. Go and sin no more, GO AND SIN NO MORE
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:18-26
1John says He that does righteousness is righteous. Romans 213 says Not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified. Justification is necessary to inherit eternal life. The just Shall Live by faith. We have righteousness imputed, it is God's righteousness given to us, yet the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Iron sharpens iron. Grace and Peace!
Amen bro. Your 4th point is something I have been saying for along time! Thank you for your channel and praise to the Father for your teachings of truth!!
Brother Allen! Thank you for preaching and clarifying this essential truth. Before I truly understood that I was eternally secured in Jesus, I spent months feeling guilty, stressed, confused, and troubled because of doubts related to my personal salvation. However, God slowly revealed to me this truth because I yearned for it and asked relentlessly. People, it is true. A saved Christian may struggle with and fall in sin. Those repetitive cycles of sin are exhausting, and I completely understand. But I am a living testimony that God can break those chains of sin if you really want it and ask God for divine help. It is true! I am living in victory, finally! Just be patient, you will get there :)
I was an extremely carnal Christian before I was born again. The Holy Spirit gave me a desire to live righteously. It is for certain that I cannot take any credit for that at all other than the fact that I responded to God's call and drew near and He delivered me. Living righteously became much more natural and my behavior changed very drastically but that doesn't mean I couldn't revert and lose my sanctification either, God forbid!
Good presentation bro. Allen. If more Christians would drop their pridefulness, and learn to embrace this doctrine, we would so many less neurotic believers. I speak from experience. It was 4 or 5 years ago when the Lord had open d my eyes to this. And I had been a believer since 1976.
"The good works that we do is the fruit of our salvation not the root of our salvation." What a beautiful way to put saved by grace through faith alone👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@shadowmist1246 that's not at all what Matthew 6:1-5 is saying. This is why you should be careful to post what you've heard. This is not sound doctrine for a tier system in heaven.
If a person lives in sin, and does not come with a heavy heart with repentance, they die with sin on their heart. For 2 peter 2:21 reads “ For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” I know you touched on that earlier in the video. But we can chose to turn away from God, and live back in sin. At that point, we forfeit it.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 New King James Version 9 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 [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Once saved always saved. I can wrap it up in a few sentence. There's nothing more we can do to be saved. Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and risen on the third day is enough. We are saved by grace and mercy from God not by our works. Our works is symbolic to who we represent, and that's the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ be with you Sorry you explanation shows everything wrong with Protestantism. This is why faith alone and once saved always saved are the Gospels of Apathy. Our works are not symbolic, they are the expression of our supernatural union of love with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit the sent. (John 14:21-26) Without abiding in them we do not have Go’s and any one who brings a Gospel without them is evil (2 John 9-11) We are not saved by our works yet we will not be saved without them (Gal 6:1-10) Do not mock God God bless you
@@MrKev1664 Not all Protestant religions are once saved always saved as you understand it. When you truly believe and live by the gospel, you are saved. Yet that one must obey God, which includes doing the works of God that He ordained for all true Christians, Ephesians 2:10. So we see James said faith without works is dead. No works no faith, no faith no salvation. Works ordained by God show salvation in one who is a doer of the word, and not a hearer only, James again. Let God show you how to put together the scriptures unto truth and salvation. You must be born again, John 3:3,5,7, the new nature of God resides in those who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ which is contained in the bible, so He can guide you into all truth and righteous living.
@@michaelalbertson7457 Christ be with you It is good that believe that but that would despite the false teachings of once saved always saved and faith alone not because of them. These are evil tree and this can be seen in the bad fruit of Apathy, people suggesting obedience to God is unnecessary. It is Love and obedience to God that guarantee salvation. If you really believe I suggest you graft yourself onto Catholicism. God bless you
@@MrKev1664 Roman Catholicism is a false religion. There is so much wrong with it, I am shocked anyone serious about a relationship with God can believe them. Few there be that are saved, the Bible says. You, like many self professed Christians, only believe the parts of the Bible you seem to like, refusing to let the Holy Spirit put the whole bible together for you. I believe it all, it's obvious you don't. Read it all and get understanding from God. You don't have it now.
@@michaelalbertson7457 Christ be with you Not true Catholics must believe all the scripture. We do not refuse the Holy Spirit but embrace it. It's a big claim to tell us that is only believe parts of the bible we seem to like Which part do you think the Catholic Church is ignoring. Just show one to start so we can investigate it. God bless you
Good bible teaching. God bless you When l remaried after divorcing a non believer, l was very quilty thinking l will not going to heaven.Thanks for the grace of God. l know that that doesn't give me licence to sin and lam not proud of it for l know God hates divorce. .l repented of it. Iam now married to a believer and l take marriege very seriously. Father in heaven lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
I usually always agree with your teaching Brother Allen but Once Save Always Save is definitely not one of them. They are many scriptures that speaks against this teaching. Paul himself said this-But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV Jesus himself said- But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13 KJV meaning one have to endure in order to be saved, then Christ would not have said this if you were automatically saved. Christ also said- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:44 KJV- there would be no need for him to tell us be ready if once save always save was true, because we would have been always ready!! When you preach this people feel too comfortable and think they are sealed with Christ forever!! Remember in Matthew 7 :21-22-23 those people seemed surprised that Jesus rejected them because they taught they were saved already and had nothing to worry about!! We may have different views but we’re all brothers in Christ! God bless 🙏🏽
I agree with you a certain extent. I do believe there are Christians that get a little too comfortable in thinking they can sin and still go to Heaven. However, we still need to remember that we are still in these earthly bodies. Our flesh is still going to tempt us to sin, and sometimes we give in. Romans 7:16 says, "But if I know that what I'm doing is wrong, this shows that I agree the law is good." However, look at the very next verse. Verse 17: "So I am not the one doing wrong, it is the sin nature living in me that does it." Jesus told us to be ready so that we can make sure we aren't giving in to sin and not being worldly, especially in times we're living in today. Now it is important than ever to make sure that we're really digging into God's word. It can be hard, and it's going to be hard, but like the verse you quoted, he that endures to the end will be saved. Like you said, we have different views. That's just how I view it. Bless you.
I would agree with you if you are saying that one can indeed lose their salvation if one chooses to turn his back on God and renounce God, Jesus and the salvation. But if you are saying the we need to endure till the last moment and do "work", else we won't be saved, then I am in total disagreement. In corinthians, you misquoted. Paul was talking about running the God race so that he can get the crown. He is talking about treasure in heavens, not our salvation itself. In matthew, Jesus was talking about a time when many will turn away from their faith, many false prophets will beguile the believers, where many will be persecuted. It is in this context that if we stand firm in our faith, that we will be saved if we endured. Not that we need to do additional work to ensure just to be saved. And Matthew 24:44, Jesus is telling us to be ready for the second coming, not a condition for us to be saved. And the list goes on.
‘If you love me you will keep my commandments” it’s His love that makes you not want to sin a relationship with YAH doesn’t make one say oh yeah now I can do what I want. The relationship makes you say I’m so grateful therefore I will do, not because it earns you salvation but simply because it pleases the FATHER. I appreciate this video
This is written to the Jews under the Old Testament. The words "keep his commandments" are written often times in the Bible, but not one single time for us today, the New Testament Believers in Christ in this Dispensation of Grace. Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, even repeats and explains over and over again that we are NOT under the Law, but under Grace.
@@fsdfmsbcxx So when Jesus tells us to love God above all, love our neighbor as ourselves, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, eat My Body, Drink my Blood, etc... he was not serious?
@@foreverisalongtimewithdeac2768 Please understand: Jesus did not tell "us" any commandments, but to the Jews in the Time of the Old Testament. His earthly Ministry was for them only, as he himself stated in Matthew 15,24 They were under the Law at that time. "We" were Gentiles and served false gods and pagan idols at that time. How does the Bible describe that horrible condition? "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and *without God in the world* :" (Ephesians 2,12) Before I explain further how God interrupted his Program with Israel and then started his Dispensation of Grace for US, the Gentiles... do you understand what I wrote so far?
@@fsdfmsbcxx well there is the sermon on the mount which is a fundamental sermon for the Christian faith and actually in the scripture below Jesus actually tells His disciples to keep His commandments. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/jhn.14.15.NKJV
15:39 "If you and I can love our children even though they disobey us. How much more would are loving heavenly Father love us even when we may stray away from him?" Let's say you tell your children to not do drugs and they disobey you and do it anyways. Of course you are going to love them because they are your children, but you won't love that they are on drugs because that path leads to death. Same with God. He loves us so much that He wants us to turn away from sin because sin leads to death. It doesn't lead to life. You can't say you love your children and let them go down the wrong path. If you truly love them you'll warn them and want them to turn their life around.

Thank you brother Allen for this video because me and my wife had our differences tonight about this very subject and whether or not someone can be blotted out from The book of Life. She gave me a couple scriptures that seemed to indicate that someone can be blotted out but these are Old testament and they referred to being blotted out of the earthly life and not the spiritual life. You give such a clear understanding I'm going to give this video to my wife and an email and this will solve this problem once and for all. May God bless you always and forever!
One thing is to fall into sin but recognizing your faults, then continuing to look for God to give you strength for your weaknesses and always fighting to do God's will. Another thing is to purposely sin by thinking you can never lose your salvation, so you do whatever you want, and this is how you can lose your salvation no matter of the sin or how many sins you are committing.

Christ be with you Have you read any more than just the proof text. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ( Eph 3:40-5:5) Do you see the warning for these people who have been sealed. God bless you
@@MrKev1664 That means that you can grieve, the SPIRIT, but HE cannot leave you because HE is sealed into your soul, your body is not saved, because it's mortal, but your soul, can never die, don't you people get it yet, what will it take for people like you, to understand that your salvation is eternal, not temporary, how hardheaded can people be.
If someone is drowning in a pool, and someone pulls them out, they are saved... However, if they climb back into that pool and begin to drown again, should we ignore that person and say, "We pulled them out once, so they're fine. It's impossible for them to drown now..." That's the doctrine of OSAS.
@@amysargent1947 why was Jesus crucified? because of our sin and if we continue in sin ,we are crucifying our saviour afresh. The death of Jesus upon the cross is to lead you to repentance, it is greatest manifestation of love and by receiving God’s love, we will walk in obedience to His commandments
The only believer who cannot possibly lose their salvation is a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ who has overcome sin and sickness in their life by enduring God’s sanctification process. This is because they are now someone who is born of God and so they can no longer sin nor can the devil touch them with his afflictions. They are now considered to be a Christian since they cannot sin and they live exactly “like Christ.” Most believers definitely are not Christians nor are they even born again. They are simply what God would call a deceived believer who fell for lies from the devil. “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” I John 5:18 NKJV God commanded us to live holy and righteously which can only be achieved by learning how to overcome our sins. This is why God sent us the Holy Spirit in order for Him to teach us how to stop sinning. Most believers are deceived about scripture and so they fall for the many lies of the devil and they continue in a life of sin. Once saved always saved is one of those lies and it has been fabricated by those who follow the devil. These misguided souls are simply looking for the easy way out since living righteously is very difficult and it requires a very big effort on our part. They of course refer to living righteously as a works salvation and they use this term in order to justify their sin and their utter ignorance of truth. So I will now expose how they often speak lies and I will use their own slogan to prove their utter nonsense. How many times do you hear these people claim that we are “SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH” or “SAVED BY GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE.” Over and over you will hear this nonsense and it simply reveals their complete ignorance of both God and scripture. Their own words are proving that they follow the devil and his lies and it exposes the nonsense about this once saved always saved fallacy. Here is the scripture that these lost souls are clearly misquoting. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV “For by grace you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH.” You are not “saved by grace through faith” as their ignorant soul desires to believe. It is by God’s Grace that we are saved through our faith. Faith requires action and you are not saved by grace. There are no such scriptures that relate that we are “SAVED BY GRACE.” This is why scripture relates that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:14-26 NKJV “Faith without works is dead” is not saying that you must work to earn your salvation, for no one can earn their salvation since it is a free gift from God. But what it is saying is that you must prove your faith by acting on it and if you do not prove it then you really do not believe. So just saying that you believe means nothing to God since Satan and his demons will even do that! If you really believe then you must prove that you believe. Have you sold everything that you own and given to the poor as Jesus instructed? See Matthew 19:21. Have you forsaken all of your possessions as Jesus requires in order to be a disciple? See Luke 14:33. If you have not done any of these things then you certainly are not following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you clearly do not understand God or scripture. You are proving that you have no clue as to what it even means to believe and you are simply choosing the path to your destruction. Realize that Abraham believed in God so much that he was willing to kill his son in order to prove it. So if you do not act on your faith it is dead and it is useless since it certainly proves that you DO NOT REALLY BELIEVE. Now any person who accepts Jesus into their life receives His Holy Spirit and they are now saved. This does not make them any wiser about God’s truth though and it does not take away their free will to still choose evil. This is why they must surrender their will to the Spirit and allow the Spirit to now change their heart. See Romans 12:1-2. But if that person does not allow the Spirit to start changing their sinful ways to God’s Holy ways and they resist God’s discipline then the Spirit will eventually depart. God calls this procedure sanctification but yet most believers never even allow it to occur since they do not understand how to test the Spirits as commanded in 1 John 4. “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” I John 4:1-3 NKJV There are many believers who believe that they can never stop sinning even though there is not one scripture that states that a Christian will always sin. Now really think about this for a moment. A Christian is someone who is a follower of Christ which means they are supposedly living a sin free life just as Jesus did, but yet most believers think that scripture is relating to them that they can never stop sinning! There are scriptures that use terms like, do not sin, has died to sin, has ceased from sin, cannot keep on sinning and cannot sin. All of these terms are used when describing a follower of Christ so why would any believer think that they could never stop sinning? Many are ignorantly believing that Jesus came to forgive our past, present and future sins. This spoken untruth is having people believe that they can continue in a life of sin and then simply repent and God will forgive them over and over. This is why many believe that if they repent just before they die then Jesus will save their sinful soul. This twisted reasoning would mean that you can continue to steal and then simply repent. You can then lie and then repent. You can then murder and simply repent. You can keep committing whatever sin you desire and simply repent afterwards and you will always be forgiven. This is simply utter nonsense that is fabricated by the devil to make you believe that you will always sin. So here is what most believers are missing. Yes we are all born in sin and we have all sinned but this does not mean that a believer can never stop sinning. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and this occurs at the moment that we repent of our sins and we accept Jesus and His Holy Spirit into our life. Once we receive His Holy Spirit we were then commanded to surrender our will to God so that we would allow the Spirit to sanctify our heart in God’s truth. Sanctification is a process where God has us face the lies, the deceptions and the temptations from the devil head on in order to show us how to overcome sin. God does this to teach us His truth and to correct our thinking regarding the sins and the lies that the devil may have us believing. Sanctification requires a lot of time, patience, suffering and endurance and this is actually when many believers fall away. Jesus gave us these examples in the parable of the sower. These were people who believed for awhile but then fell away to one of Satan’s fallacies. So this is how you prove your faith and this is not doing works in order to earn your salvation. You see, God will not stay in a sinful environment so if you resist the Spirits discipline then the Spirit will leave and you will never get Him back and you will then lose your salvation. Why! As scripture states it would be like you trying to crucify Jesus all over again. This is explained in Hebrews 6:4-8, Hebrews 10:26-39, Hebrews 12:3-13 and 2 Peter 2-20-22. And yes the Spirit will always stay with you but for that to occur you must surrender your will and do your part. You must learn to change from your sinful ways to God’s holy and sin free ways and not blaspheme the Spirit in the process. All of this explains why someone who falls for the once saved always saved narrative is simply lost and delusional in their beliefs.
@@amysargent1947 I am a child of God who has been sanctified in truth by Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit and I have overcome sin and sickness in my life. I endured God’s Sanctification process and I have been sent by Jesus to awaken the very few who possess a good heart and to expose the many wicked and deceived believers who are leading people astray.

@@dariuspalmer2829, answer this for me. In this verse, Peter mentions 3 categories of ppl. The righteous, the sinner, and the ungodly. 1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? My question is...if everyone is a sinner, who are "the righteous"? Because the righteous will baaaaaaarely make it, and there's no chance for the sinner and ungodly to get in...
@@dariuspalmer2829 and let me further clarify. Im not claiming to be sinful or sinless. The Word of God is true regardless of what I am. Even if I type these words, and I live in sin, I will still miss heaven. So, again... who are the righteous??
@@MrsSanctified84 If that is the case no one will go to heaven. Only Jesus lived a sinless life. Dont listen to the prideful Christian's who believe that are better than everyone else because they live "righteous" lives they are lying to themselves and the truth is not in them.
Hey BEAT family! Is the doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved biblical and is it just a license to sin? Let me know your thoughts below. Enjoy!
I'm still learning about it but I think its important to realize the response when someone "leaves the faith" is the same regardless of theologically differences. We should work to bring that brother back into relationship with Christ and overwhelm them with love and support. That's consistent with people who believe in total apostasy and eternal security
It depends who you speak to Allan to be honest...
For me, the doctrine that you can lose your salvation, has been an unbearable burden that leads me to despair and more sin. It’s turns my focus from Jesus and His wonderful grace to my lame self and a constant futile striving for the approval I should know I already have in Christ.
@@carltonhepburn4072 what do you mean? Can you clarify what you're saying?
Is it possible for a true child of God to struggle with the same sin repeatedly? Not willingly but with heaps of remorse- just losing battles more often than winning them, so to speak?
Once you’re saved, sin becomes a poison that taste bitter on the tongue. Once you accept Christ, sin just doesn’t have the same appeal.
I’ve sinned after accepting Christ, I still do sometimes. I struggle. I’m a sinner. Small and big. And every time I feel like I’m slapping my friend in the face. In my journey, I’ve come to realize that I’m my own biggest enemy. My flesh. At one point, I was so ridden with guilt and negative self talk. My perception of myself diminished when I sinned against God. Then I had a thought. Jesus gives authority over these things! In my journey, I needed to learn how to forgive myself for falling short. Fellow brothers and sisters struggling with sin, take comfort in this- the battle has been won already! When the enemy knocks on your conscience with knives and bitter words, tell your enemy that they do not have authority over you. In the name of Jesus!
Love it.
Agreed. You feel dirty at some point in the sin because your spirit was warring against the fleshly desire.
I like your words. And i bélieve that even though im a sinner. I will ne free and i home that all my siblings un christ will ne free. And i Bélieve that we a son christians are more powerful than we think.i used to consider sin as a very strong rival (enemy) but jesus sin stronger and we should not fear thé dévil. ( sorry i m french )
Very true. It's a constant battle between the spirit and the flesh.
This could be why we're under Grace, because God knows we struggle sometimes, but are trying with the aid of the Holy Spirit, to NOT keep on sinning. Like Mr. T said "Does God expect us to be perfect? Nope, but he expects us to be HUMBLE."

“We cannot be entertained by the sins for which Christ died,” John MacArthur
The love of Jesus pushes us to live holy lives. Christ’s work on the cross is supposed to take us out of sin not right into sin.
The work on the cross was done to free us from the death brought on by sin. Nothing else. Do not confused justification with sanctification. Works will save no one. We should try to avoid sin as much as we can, but we all sin every single day, and will struggle with it until the day we die.

@@dbdekudb6338 no, he wasn't. He died before Christ's death and resurrection. The fact that he betrayed the Lord showed that he was never a true believer. Even Jesus said "Woe unto the one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed, for it would have been better for him had he never been born."
@@dbdekudb6338 nice try. Peter was forgiven for that sin.
@@dbdekudb6338 you're comparing Peter's denial due to the pressures caused by his fears with Judas' purposeful act of setting up Jesus to be tortured and killed due to his own greed. That's a huge reach. Just because they're both a form of betrayal, that doesn't make them exactly the same thing.
Sin has different weight levels to them. Denying the Lord is definitely bad but it didn't have the same weight as delivering Him up to His enemies for a quick payoff.
Before you try to bring up the scripture I had initially quoted, based on scripture, that "woe" was in the context of the Lord being betrayed by being handed over to the Pharisees. It didn't apply to Peter's betrayal; hence the reason why Peter was given the chance to repent while Judas had ended up killing himself without repentance.
Also, Peter, for the most part, had shown himself as faithful to the Lord prior to his sin whereas Judas was only shown as a thief who skimmed out of the moneybag since he was the treasurer of the group. There's a reason why you never see Judas mentioned as much as the other disciples when it comes to them seeking wisdom from the Lord. He was never faithful in the first place.
@@iveacendedboyos1555 not sure why you're quoting that scripture to me since I was talking about Peter who obviously was forgiven. Christ can still forgive someone who had denied Him if they repent of it.
I also love how he makes it clear that "Paul said," or "Jesus said," so people can't twist his words to say "Sir Allen said." Just a small, clever detail here.
Yes! Read The Bible! And Praise The Lord!
Nobody believed in Once saved always saved, aka eternal security, until John Calvin misinterpreted Augustine...who misinterpreted book of Romans.
@@LightOfAllMankind I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter to understand where you're coming from.
@@kennysfdg471 I was being a bit cheeky with that last bit about Augustine, a man who I respect in a lot of ways but who also got a lot wrong, but, I’ll not go into that. My more important point is that the doctrine of OSAS is a product of John Calvin’s double predestination/election theory. One that is utterly heretical, and goes against Gods true grace. Augustine may or may not have taught predestination, but he absolutely taught the doctrine of Created Grace, and that’s another heresy and problem that has done all kinds of damage to Western Christianity.
@@LightOfAllMankind What is this "predestination" and "Created Grace"? Would that be like God chooses people He wants to save, or some people are saved or won't be saved because God chooses to send them to hell? And to my knowledge, John Calvin is the creator of Calvinism? The thing John MacArthur (a pastor in California) believes in? I think I understand this, but I want to make sure.
Lol God works wonders I recently got saved and is kinda struggling with that question but boom here comes Allen👏👏. Thank you Allen!
What did you get Saved from
I wouldn’t trust the ‘once saved always saved lie’. First of all it’s only for a remnant of Israel (black folks scattered in slavery or suffered colonialism) and secondly there’s no salvation until Christ returns Matthew 24:13. The constant racism, oppression, humiliation, last hired and first fired that we go through is the endurance test. Christ is our protection and saviour.
Congrats Dania on accepting Gods gift of Salvation. I agree Allen has a great way of showing us what the Bible is saying!!

Thank you Lord for never leaving us nor forsaking us even when we sin. Thanks for offering your new mercies every morning and for paying the eternal price for my sins past, present and future. Thanks brother Allen for explaining this so well and clear.
In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9). He died middle aged and went to hell forever it was dark but Jesus lit up the area, he asked Jesus for another chance but unfortunately it was too late for him, Pretty sad, Repent and ask Jesus to help you with your struggles (James 4:7)

I think the wording "once saved is always saved" is bit misleading. At the core of it, I think I understand the message people intend to convey. We are saved by grace through faith, and not work. Thanks brother Allen.
Exactly so true indeed.
Faith saves us and works (GOD’s works) justifies us. If the works do not follow our faith then we are denying GOD.
“Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”

There is a difference between a struggle and willful behavior.
Make sure as a you are a repentant Christian. Read the Bible daily and pray often throughout the day, the devil is trying to make lukewarm Christians everywhere (Rev 3:16). Join us in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.
If you tell everyone that you are a mechanic but day in and out, you do the work of an accountant are you truly a mechanic? No, you are an accountant. Likewise, a Christian by name who lives contrary to Jesus’ teachings by living sinful/worldly is not a real Christian.
Someone who submits to GOD and is therefore changed by GOD will not live as they did before. They will not live completely sin free. But they will love what they once hated and they will hate what once loved. I loved, drinking, lusting, hating, fighting and so many other things that GOD hates. I hated GOD, but I love him now. And it was all GOD'S doing.

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Cor 15:1-4)

Thank you for this Bro Allen! I've been studying this very issue- as a Christian it's very discouraging when dealing with sin because no one is in sinless perfection.. this is so comforting.
Brother Allen, I've only looked into these topics for about fivish hours and when I understood that once I am saved, I am always saved, I felt a grand sense of relief and anxiety lift off my shoulders. I then stumbled across the "license to sin" and our eternal salvation in Christ does not mean we can sin, though that contradicts the first statement. How is it that once we are saved, we are always saved and yet we have no "license to sin"? It's truly either one or the other, and I feel a lack of straightforwardness for fear of Christians taking advantage of this license to veer away from Christ. Either we are forever born again and saved, or we are not due to our sin. I believe we are able to sin without losing our salvation, but I personally do not want to sin because out of faith and out of the desires of the Spirit I want to continue to mature in Christ. I do believe we have the freewill to sin without losing our salvation, but that we shouldn't because as Paul says, it's absurd and foolish.
I don't use the idea as a liscense to sin actually I want to stop doing it I'm just feeling trapped and entangled into sin and instead of thinking of it as a liscense I'm actually feeling like I'll go to hell for being trapped into sin and being too weak to resist I know I am saved by grace and grace alone but sometime I'm just doubting because of myself I look at myself and I'm ashamed and broken, I look at my life and it makes me feel like I'm the worst person and don't even deserve to call myself child of God I'm ashamed of the way I live. This world has failed me countless of times and yet I keep goinf back to it and getting more and more broken like I'm trapped in a loop and I just want a way out of this nightmare I wish to walk on the path of rightgeousness and stay on it the old me when I was firat saved would be ashamed of what I've become. Most days it makes me think maybe God should have taken me out of this world when I got saved I have suicidal thoughts daily I am just so broken
Ah bro..that touched me..Listen..when you first believed, in that moment, you were saved and will be for eternity come.
I go through the exact same doubts and it's a mixture of these principalities in the heavens and our flesh which deceives us into believing our doubts.. but how good is God for reminding us of our already inherited salvation and that we are complete in him.
You will never leave the grip of his right hand and HE WILL perform the good work he started in you..just keep pressing into him every day at a time. I'm not talking from an attitude of being better, just to be clear. I may do worse things than you..dont know.. but his grace super abounds over our sin, and he will bring us into glory!
Also..your desire to walk.in righteousness is a sign of his love in you..you cant self.produce a love for God..he planted it into you..as per 1John scripture. So rejoice when you feel close to him, and remind yourself of his truths when you feel distant
The fact that you are worried proves that it isnt over. When I was in that same situation my fellow Christian friend told me " The devil doesn't mess with a dead horse" . The fact that you know it's a struggle proves that the spirit is guiding you. No man comes to Jesus, unless he is led by the Father. "Fight the Good fight". And remember Christ died so that SINNERS may be saved. I was there, and I still battle with these thoughts. Dont lose hope!!😁
@@JSPainting_and_Drawing it is not over but theres no way on earth that God will let me into heaven if I keep giving in and living this way I just wish I wasn't there anymore tbh sorry if I'm kind of depressive
Amen! What encouraging words
Once a person is truly converted and have the Holy Spirit there desire is always to please God. They may sin, but the conviction of the Holy Spirit draws them back to repent! Good teaching Allen!
Salvation is by grace through faith
It is the gift of God
We can't earn it
We accept it
Live it
Continue every day
Loving God for it
What else is needed for salvation?
@@DuaneXplain
Nothing else is needed for salvation
Then it would be works
We have been saved unto good works
" We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Ephesians 2:10
We show our faith by our works.
Faith without works is dead
We are Saved for good works
We are not saved by good works
@@jessyjonas4988 I understand we are saved by grace I never denied that but what about confessing, repentance, baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost? That’s needed for salvation in addition to our faith correct? You only referenced one scripture what about all the rest of the Bible?
@@DuaneXplain Nothing
@@DuaneXplain This is all Pentecostal and Lordship heresy. Be careful not to fall for this mess.
You do not need to speak in tongues, you receive the spirit when you believe the Gospel. Water baptism is a work and therefore does not save, although being baptized after we are saved itsnt a bad idea. The only one we should confess to is God. And repentance is believing the gospel, not turning or repenting from sin. God bless you
I had a pastor ask me this question a long time ago, and I said YES. Because I knew someone who was saved but now lives a life of sin and still do. I had 1 pastor that said you could loose your salvation. And I ask another pastor this question and he would not talk about. So I was confused. Thank you for explaining it to me!
I love the way you expound on the word of God. You are truly a man if God. God bless you!
If we truly love the Lord we will never misuse His grace ♥️
Sorry but we misuse his grace all the time..its not about that though.
It's about how loving and loyal he is and how he demonstrates it in us when we do misuse his grace.
@@thehourifirstbelieved3655 I just meant that if we love Him we will not live continuously in sin (misusing grace) so that it may aboud, as Paul wrote in Romans. Any time we sin it is misusing His grace though, you're absolutely right.
@@realisticallyrose2310 ok but your continuing in sin will look different to.someone else, you know.. you may not drink, smoke we etc..but the person you're judging to see if they're a Christian may be..we can only know by the profession of someone if they're born again..not by their living..
Sorry if you already knew that..
@@thehourifirstbelieved3655 I don't disagree with you lol The Lord knows our hearts and we will be known by our fruit, which develop over time. That is to be judging someone's justification by their sanctification which we have to be careful about, bc they may simply be working slower in some things. This is why brotherly love is so important- we cannot play Holy Spirit in another's life ♥️
@@realisticallyrose2310 Amen to that.
I’m 50 years old and I’m so glad to finally understand Eternal Security really means. It don’t make me wanna sin, the more He loves me unconditionally the more I want to love Him and others.
I appreciate you again and I believe you have really been touched by God. I did come at you the other day about Hebrews 10:26 . You did a great job on this episode, explaining.
It's just that Hebrews 10:26 says if you continue on sinning after saved there no longer remains a sacrifice to cover your sins. Would love to hear from you. But none the less, you are awesome with your work.
Actually, that verse means if you hear about the truth and reject it, you will face judgment. Hope that makes sense.
@@all_mine1233 appreciate you. God Bless.

The assurance of eternal salvation gives me much needed comfort and confidence, despite that I still struggle with addiction, I believe God has helped me tremendously because I hate sin so much and I hate that I keep falling into it. I'm thankful for how far he has brought me, but man, I just want to be on the other side and free of it already. I have changed a lot thank the Lord, and I especially struggled with those unbiblical ideas for the past few months, but thankfully got out of them and embraced the truth recently, however I still doubt and worry constantly, and with the way the world is going there's so many people talking about Jesus' coming again soon, which only fills me with more worry and doubt because I feel so unprepared, as if there's really anything I can do to prepare.
Do not worry of Jesus' return... He will save all believers on that day, and it is unlikely in my eyes that He will return soon.
Brother please just read the Bible ask God I promise u he will show u and teach just saying don't just take anyone advice about the Bible
I was a bad drug addict God helped me brought me so far but am not perfect but I had ask Jesus if this something I doing show me help me with it and he will comdem u if u doing something wrong if u fill bad about doing anything don't do it
Thank you so much, Allen! What a wonderful video! I've always struggled with eternal security in Jesus. Satan loves to tempt me into thinking that God doesn't love me, or that I've somehow left God when I sin. I'm currently in Galatians, and I just got to the part in 3:3 where Paul says, "How foolish can you be? After *starting your new lives* in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?" It's a wonderful reminder to me that Christ paid for it all, and that I would be utterly foolish to try and work for my salvation.
"Our good works and obedience that we do is the fruit of our salvation, not the root of our salvation. It's not what gets us saved or what keeps us saved, it's what we do because we are saved and because we love the Lord."
🗣 Preach preacher! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Honestly this is the most clear teaching I have heard on this subject. My heart has been burdened for years for those in my circle of family and friends who were saved as children and walked away from God and for those that I love who say they are believers but live as if they are not. I am so thankful that God’s grace covers us all!
Just like me!

Sorry that Mocks God (Gal 6:1-10)
OSAS is a false Gospel

My sister the Bible says that we have to work on our salvation with fear and trembling. God will not be mocked whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap. Grace is not a license to live anyhow. It is one thing to fall into sin and repent but a lifestyle of sin is different. Deliberately making the choice to live in sin tells Jesus that he died in vain. Imagine giving rules to your kids and they deliberately disobey because you are a merciful mother. Even humans cannot condone such behavior. What do you think of the God who created man and the universe. God doesn't owe us anything. He chose to buy us back with his blood. Once that transaction has been made, we need not take him for granted.

Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AA) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AB)

This is even not written to us, the gentile Believers in Christ, but to the believing Remnant of Israel in the Time of God's Wrath. Please learn to rightly divide the Word of truth.
Finally!! Someone speaking the truth. Once saved always saved, but it does not give you the ability to run amok and turn your back on the rules of God.
We all need to follow the life of Jesus as much as possible and spread the word and love one another.
This is one of the best expositions I've heard. Brilliant. Well done Dr. Allen.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Amen Bro Parr you definitely nailed this one!!! Blessed be the name of Jesus!!! What a God, what a Savior!!!
This is the best presentation of this issue I've ever heard or seen. Thank you for presenting this issue in a way that is crystal clear. For those of us working on being obedient to God, you've answered questions that left unanswered, can leave one feeling tormented, guilty, or shamed knowing they can never reach that critical level of acceptance by God through our own efforts. Excellent. Thank you Allen.
In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9). He died middle aged and went to hell forever it was dark but Jesus lit up the area, he asked Jesus for another chance but unfortunately it was too late for him, Pretty sad, Repent and ask Jesus to help you with your struggles (James 4:7)
When i got Saved,i then realized how wicked of a sinner i really was.I really saw how imperfect i was and worthless before God.People who say works are required to get/keep Salvation and can be lost don't actually see how desperately they need a Saviour.They can't really comprehend how helpless their flesh is.

It's the first time when I heard the complete explanation about not loosing the salvation. From this two perspectives: we are saved by grace, someone may not be saved at all if they are living sin. We cannot be unsaved. 1 Corinthians 6:12 and 10:23. Thank you!
This message was awesome! Thank you for being so clear about this subject. I had struggled with this subject a lot because the church I had been attending was Armenian and the things they were teaching I really struggled with. The whole belief that I could lose my salvation held me hostage to Satan and guilt and shame for years. Now that I have embraced the truth, I can live free from the depression that had consumed me. I was living every day in fear of not being saved because I couldn't be perfect. Now, I know that I can trust that God really does love me enough to hold me in His hands forever. That the sacrifice that Jesus made on my behalf was not temporary. I actually believe that I was not truly saved before I accepted this truth. That I didn't truly believe that Jesus died for ALL of my sins. I believe that is a huge part of salvation, we NEED to believe that Jesus's sacrifice was fully and completely redemptive. That it has full power over our sins. If we don't believe that then I don't think we have faith in the right Christ. I had to admit that after watching this video. I don't think I had faith in the true Christ. I had faith in a weak Christ that did not fully take on all of my sins and who couldn't save me forever. I am so thankful that this truth has been revealed. I am repenting again, and this time I have complete faith that Jesus, the REAL CHRIST WHO DIED FOR ALL OF MY SINS, did so for all eternity. He freed me forever! I do not need to be so consumed with losing my salvation. I can focus on the freedom of my salvation completely and live in it. ❤
I. Is the middle word in sIn . Wait what? Now you're saved but before you weren't? Read all posts from JGq for context that "Allan" left out. Isaiah 1 1-18 but the posts are Concordance. 👍
Amen, I struggled with the same thing. It was so depressing. Glad I know truth. It's so freeing!!!
Speaking from experience, the Holy Spirit will automatically make you NOT want to sin
Very true
True, so what do you do if you did sin? Are you saying you don’t need to ask God for forgiveness? Or do you just sweep it under the rug and move on like “Oh well I’ve been saved I’m good”?
@Naz Jesus tells you to confess your sins to one another. You can’t just go on sinning without saying I’m sorry, that has nothing to do with what He has done for us. I don’t think you’re getting the idea that yes His blood covers sins but contrition brings a man to confess and ask forgiveness.
Yes but it won’t keep you from being tempted to sometimes. Those times you fall to temptation you feel guilty about what you did. Now it’s worth noting I think that the Enemy tries to turn that guilt into shame and into thinking or feeling you aren’t saved.
Christ be with you
Sorry that is nonsense
The Holy Spirit will cause Changes with in you but to say you will not want to sin is ridiculous.
The Holy Spirit will often get drowned out by they world and our own desires.
It is those who resist who will receive eternal life (James 1:12-16)

This is a teaching that all Christians need no matter how long they have been
following Jesus because it doesn't hurt to review things from a different point
of view. I finally have a strong handle on this very important subject.
This doctrine has put peace in my heart that has been in turmoil for so long. The doctrine of eternal security actually drives me to more holiness bc im so grateful to God for this gift of salvation. Allen, you do a great job of backing up your beliefs with sound Bible teaching and it’s truly refreshing to my spirit. I can’t thank you and this channel enough.
Be careful with false prophets. Check Matthew 7 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [s]miracles?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Key here’s “the one who does the will of my Father”. What about DOES is not clear to you guys.
Blessings.
@@ricardosal2356
Amen! I don’t see how anyone can believe in OSAS when reading scripture as it is.
James 2 covers this in its entirety identifying that faith without works os dead. Perfect faith or faith that saves has works backing it up. God wants proof of our faith. How many times Jesus told us to endure until the end and you shall be saved?
James 2:24
24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
@Buddy _ than how do you know your saved?
The best part of this video is at 13:26...he fails to realize that someone could ask the very same question to him at what point do you know someone is saved? How many fruits do they have to show? Are they loving once a week? Twice? Once a month once every 2 months? How many fruits are needed to be shown to know you have roots? I love it haha
@@ricardosal2356Amen .even the parable of the sower proves osas false

Exactly!
A few years ago, soon after I got baptized, I fell into sin. I didn’t even necessarily think of it as a sin, but I knew it was wrong. Once I realized that it was wrong I began to fight against it. But I couldn’t. It was a fight that last over a year. I felt so angered with myself and so ashamed that I couldn’t get rid of the sin. I kept asking God for strength but I was too weak. But one day I put it in his hands, because I knew I couldn’t do it alone. I haven’t committed that sin since. I was young and ignorant when I fell into it and I had to get into the word and learn how to combat the sin before getting my victory. But because of those years of struggle with sin, and short months of doing it without thinking about it was a sin but knowing it wasn’t right. That’s why I came to this video.

@@Christ_died_for_your_sins_777. Funny how you make Christian biblical videos then turn around and call people a “fool” when they disagree with you. Review your doctrine on how to treat people 1Peter 3:15
This scripture is the one no one likes to talk about. Thanks for posting. I have a few rebuttals for this video but I'm too sleepy to comment tonight. It's much too late. However, I will say that quoting "nothing can separate us from the love of God" is what confuses people to believe that they can do anything and still get to heaven. Nothing will separate you from His LOVE but sin will separate you from Him! Isaiah 59:1-3. God will love even when you make your bed in hell. But that doesn't mean you get to spend eternity with Him. We need to be careful with that scripture.
This was a good video on this topic but until I hear Holy Spirit tell me different, I have to disagree with this one. There was a lot of questionable things he said and some that kind of took scripture out of context so if you dont know the Word for yourself and hear from God yourself, this is how you can be taught in error. I still love this guy though. Truth is, we will probably never know until Jesus comes.
@@nimo4503 the problem with using the passage from Ezekiel has to do with 1. The wording talks about the man’s own righteousness, which scripture tells us is as filthy rags. When we get saved it’s not our righteousness, we have the righteousness of Christ (which will never decrease). 2. Romans 8 is pretty clear, NOTHING means nothing. We cannot say nothing but then say “but this thing can” that doesn’t make any logical sense to the passage. The point of Jesus’s death was to reconcile us to God, to say we can get re-separated just because of one sin is to nullify what Christ did since he already completely paid the price for all sin.
Jesus broke the power and authority of Sin so we who get saved would be able to count ourselves DEAD to sin and alive to God in Christ. I’m tired of people separating what is to be together. When you get saved, it’s not just a positional change, the Holy Spirit changes your heart and gives you new desires.
Philippians 2:13 is pretty clear that God gives us the desire and ability to do what pleases him. Genuine believers despise sin, not because it’s called sin but because their heart has been changed to it. I do (not perfectly) what God desires me to do, not because of obligation, but because I love him since he loved me first.
Anyone that is saved, will be kept till the end by God. Why? Because God is not only faithful, but because he works in the believer to make them look more and act more like Christ. To think someone can be saved yet their is no change in their heart towards sin so they can just “live however they want and leave Jesus” is an oxymoron. Believers WILL be obedient, we can’t act like “well yeah you are saved but you also need to be obedient” as if they are different things. If you are saved, you will strive to grow in Christ because you LOVE him since he’s CHANGED YOU. We have a problem with making things difficult when scripture makes it plain, it isn’t multiple separate things. The flow of salvation, sanctification, and glorification is a consistent stream.
This is out of context. You turn away righteousness by not believing. Phillipians tells us we have righteousness through belief Phillipians 3:9-10
Breaking down Matt. 7:23 is GOOOOD! May our Lord bless you in your acts of loving obedience, Brother Allen. I appreciate you taking time to share truths of God's Word. Happy Resurrection Day, family of God! Love to all! Jesus is Lord!

I think the last verse of "come thou fount of every blessing" gets it right:
'O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.'
Thank you so much for this I needed it everyone has a different idea on how God really works and I sometimes get stressed wanting to obey him but now I see God will never leave me and will still love me when I sin without realizing I’m sinning and he will turn me into a better man everyday. Love you and God bless you ❤️
Same! I've been combing through pastors and scripture trying to figure out if I'm being enough for God and EVERYONE seems to have a different idea of what the scriptures mean. I pray about it but it's hard because I'm not a theologian lol obviously. This is comforting.
Love the topic about salvation. I know when I was saved, I didn't have the vocabulary of what it meant to be a Christian. For the first two years I just stumbled until I got discipled. I've been a Christian for 16 years Ive never been more grateful.
During my years of being a baby in Christ, I messed up a lot on the fundamentals of sins- (I don't know if you what I mean.) By the end of my two years I was spent on defying God on these issues, and he healed me from those sins. Now I hated what I was doing because the holy spirit lived in me and eventually I didnt want to do any of those “big” sins and would pray that God would end those struggles.
Yet, I know some people are moved by a sermon and raise their hands for salvation. They don’t have that heart transformation I mean they continue to live their lives the same. There isn’t any remorse for there sin. Even as a baby Christian I knew I was sinning because I’d get this yucky feeling of I don’t think this is right and I struggled for years, yet I didn't question my salvation- so yes, I ascribe to once saved always saved.
I have this family member who claims to be saved yet loves their sin even defends it. Sometimes I think they don’t understand what salvation is. I love this person so much. However, I can’t know their heart. When they ask me if they are considered to be saved, I just tell them I can’t tell you if you're saved.
I wish I knew more I'm not judging them I too am a sinner in need of a savor. I just can't tell them they are saved when they want to continue in their sin and not even desiring to trying and or trying and failing.
Thank you for this video. I actually woke up and read this text (Romans 5 and 6) in my devotional. Then watching your video clarified things. God bless!!!
Christ be with you
If you think Rom 5 and 6 reaches once saved always saved I think you need to read it again.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Rom 6:16)
Protestantism has created a distortion of what faith in Jesus Christ is.
It turns him into a liar.
What do you think faith in Jesus Christ is?
God bless you
Great teaching, I've always had in the back of my mind if I did something or not do something that I had lost my Salvation or even if I really got saved in the first place, but thankfully through the Holy Spirit He reveals his presence in me by his comfort, teaching, and conviction .

Allen, Your a really Great Man of God. I love you for sharing this Gospel of Jesus Christ with a person such as I. I am so Grateful indeed.
The end question is a question that does have an answer. One that I've given to others and an answer that usually draws backlash from the soul that still has a heart for sin and wickedness.
When a person looks at sin through the lense of quantity then the person doesn't see sin for what it is. 👉Its not about the quantity of sin, its about the quality of the heart.👈 It took one sin for Adam to fall. There's no amount of sins that causes us to lose our salvation, its the state of our heart that causes us to lose our salvation. And so you have to ask yourself, does a heart that has been supposedly changed by God still sin? 👉If so then sadly deception is at the door. If not, then understanding is not far from such a person.👈 God didn't care for the amount of sins Israel committed, he just wanted them to stop doing evil and be holy as he is holy because that is what holiness involves and it takes pure faith and love. A departure from sin is the end result of a changed heart by God. God has a distinct seal for those that not only are his children but are his children who actually love him not just by their mouths, but by their faithfulness in deeds in this life. The blind separate faith from faithfulness in an attempt to nullify the consequences of on going battles with sin to allow sin and holiness to dwell one with another and still lead to eternal life. We are warned not to be deceived, not because no one will be deceived, but because many will be deceived by self deception because of their unfaithfulness to God to depart from evil or deception through others.
2 Timothy 2:19
19Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
Matthew 7:21-23
This was the most terrifying thing to me, I can’t even imagine getting to heaven and hearing this!
Them people aren’t even saved, and that verse is referring to false prophets
That passage of Scripture in Matthew also refers to those individuals who have false conversions. There is a false gospel that's popular in our time that claims that to get saved, you just have to say a prayer and that's it. I have a problem with this idea.
A person who is truly converted first sees their own sinfulness and understands their depravity. They acknowledge that there is nothing they can do about it themselves. Their "good deeds" cannot outweigh their bad. There also needs to be godly sorrow. Also, a penalty must be paid for those sins. God's justice works the same way that human justice works.
Let's say that I get caught speeding and have to go to court. I face the judge, and he says: you are charged with speeding. How do you plead? If I answer, wait, your honor, I did all these good deeds for others, can't that get me off the hook? If he's a good judge, he will say: that has nothing to do with the bad deed of speeding. You broke the law, penalty must be paid. So you then plead guilty. Just when you are sentenced, your best friend gets up and says to the judge, please, your honor, I will pay the penalty. The judge nods his head and accepts payment from your best friend. The judge then turns his head towards you and says, the fine is paid, you are free to go. Down goes the gavel. Yessirree, you are free to go! The fine is paid! All you have to do is believe it with ALL your heart! No more shame, your record is clear! No one can hold it against you anymore! What a wonderful Savior we have in Jesus!
I think a big part of our spiritual battles are related to how we see our identity in Christ. No matter how big or small the sin is, Jesus says: please don't beat yourself up over that sin. I died for that sin, too! You will probably have to go through this many, many times before it sinks in. Just remember this--all that sin has been thrown into the lake of forgetfulness, with a sign at the shore that says, "No Fishing Allowed!" 😊👍Never forget God's holiness, but also remember that since He knows everything, you can't disappoint Him. Read the parable of the Prodigal Son, that's how our heavenly Father treats us! He's loving and tenderhearted. Believe it and thank God for it! He is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving! 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌😊❤
I remember first reading the gospels. Matthew 7:21 was so hard to swallow. Jesus follows this up with the story of the builder who built his house on the sand.
Jesus made it very clear. People just dont want to hear that they need to change.
Matthew 7: 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7: 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
What is the WILL OF GOD?
John 6: 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
The WILL OF GOD is BELIEVING ON the SON (Jesus who died and rose again).
Who are those who DO WONDERFUL WORKS, CAST OUT devils and PROPHESY in His name BUT do NOT do the WILL OF GOD?
Obviously they are FALSE PROPHETS who AREN’T SAVED BELIEVERS!
Matthew 7: 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
It looks like there are MANY of these WOLVES in sheep’s clothing in today’s Christianity. They are NOT BELIEVERS!
Matthew 7: 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:21-23 AREN’T spoken to believers! Jesus will tell them to DEPART from Him because He DOESN’T KNOW them as they are UNBELIEVERS who practise INIQUITIES.
JESUS KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS!
@@jk11222 beautiful explaining
My goodness, great video Allen. Because of God's grace, we are now free from the law. But someone asking if they can continue to sin is a trick question. Because someone who is truly saved will genuinely want to serve God - not to maintain their salvation but because Jesus is lord of their life
Caught this upload very early! Thank Mr. Parr for everything you do. Also our church touched on this subject as well. WOW the timing is too good, more knowledge
I have struggled with sexual addiction as a Christian since I was young and it plagues my heart so deeply! I am still trying to break free so any prayer would be much appreciated and I am so thankful for you ALL! Thank you Allen! God Bless you!
Amen adam, will be praying 🙏 for you.greetings from the Caribbean 🇹🇹🇮🇱🇹🇹🇮🇱🇹🇹🇮🇱.
Prayer sent my brother! You're struggling because the Spirit is alive in you and that's a ray of hope. We are commanded of daily denial of self and taking up our cross. Continue to fight the good fight of faith. We all can do this.
Praying for you brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I struggled for years and did with my wife before we got married but there came a point when the conviction was too much and I'm thankful for that. There was satisfaction in sex in the moment but that satisfaction was quickly replaced with guilt, shame, and sorrow immediately afterwards. You'll need to pray for strength and be sure to guard your heart, mind, and your eyes. God always leaves a way out during temptation listen and look for those cues. I'll be praying for you
Prayers for you. I know what you’re going through.
This is one of the best videos on this topic I’ve ever heard!! Thank you, Allen!!! Praise God!

There has to be a significant change in the person if he/she really did accept God as Lord and Savior. If there’s Not then The person was never saved. It’s simple
“Go and sin no more”
NOT
“Go and Sin More, you’ve believed in me anyway”
Amen
Nope. Once you believe on Christ you are saved for ever. Your lifestyle has nothing to do with if God saved you
@@Tyler_Foshie It has EVERYTHING to do with it. We can Chat about this Brother.
@@Jesus_Mendoza1 no it does not. Have you always obeyed your parents? Dos that mean your not alive? My point is we all SIN no sin is different to God it’s all sin, and Jesus died for all of them. I’m going to heaven because he died for all of my sins no because of my lifestyle. You add one work to the FREE GIFT then you eliminate salvation by grace
@@Tyler_Foshie so you are telling me a drug addict, a homosexual, etc… is gonna go to heaven? Of course not!!! You have to repent from your sins and REALLY repent. To have a Deep feeling of regret and NOT doing it again. You CAN loose your salvation and you can Go to hell. Go and sin no more, GO AND SIN NO MORE
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:18-26

1John says He that does righteousness is righteous.
Romans 213 says Not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Justification is necessary to inherit eternal life. The just Shall Live by faith. We have righteousness imputed, it is God's righteousness given to us, yet the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.
Iron sharpens iron. Grace and Peace!
Amen bro. Your 4th point is something I have been saying for along time! Thank you for your channel and praise to the Father for your teachings of truth!!
Brother Allen! Thank you for preaching and clarifying this essential truth. Before I truly understood that I was eternally secured in Jesus, I spent months feeling guilty, stressed, confused, and troubled because of doubts related to my personal salvation. However, God slowly revealed to me this truth because I yearned for it and asked relentlessly. People, it is true. A saved Christian may struggle with and fall in sin. Those repetitive cycles of sin are exhausting, and I completely understand. But I am a living testimony that God can break those chains of sin if you really want it and ask God for divine help. It is true! I am living in victory, finally! Just be patient, you will get there :)
I was an extremely carnal Christian before I was born again. The Holy Spirit gave me a desire to live righteously. It is for certain that I cannot take any credit for that at all other than the fact that I responded to God's call and drew near and He delivered me. Living righteously became much more natural and my behavior changed very drastically but that doesn't mean I couldn't revert and lose my sanctification either, God forbid!
Good presentation bro. Allen. If more Christians would drop their pridefulness, and learn to embrace this doctrine, we would so many less neurotic believers. I speak from experience. It was 4 or 5 years ago when the Lord had open d my eyes to this. And I had been a believer since 1976.
Hello Brother Allen. A blessed Good Friday to you and yours and A Happy and Blessed Resurrection Sunday in advance to you all. Glory to God.
"The good works that we do is the fruit of our salvation not the root of our salvation." What a beautiful way to put saved by grace through faith alone👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If a person lives in sin, and does not come with a heavy heart with repentance, they die with sin on their heart.
For 2 peter 2:21 reads “ For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.”
I know you touched on that earlier in the video. But we can chose to turn away from God, and live back in sin. At that point, we forfeit it.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

I don’t ever get tired of hearing you Allen. Your hilarious. Great video. 😂👍🏼
Once saved always saved. I can wrap it up in a few sentence. There's nothing more we can do to be saved. Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and risen on the third day is enough. We are saved by grace and mercy from God not by our works. Our works is symbolic to who we represent, and that's the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ be with you
Sorry you explanation shows everything wrong with Protestantism.
This is why faith alone and once saved always saved are the Gospels of Apathy.
Our works are not symbolic, they are the expression of our supernatural union of love with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit the sent. (John 14:21-26)
Without abiding in them we do not have Go’s and any one who brings a Gospel without them is evil (2 John 9-11)
We are not saved by our works yet we will not be saved without them (Gal 6:1-10)
Do not mock God
God bless you
@@MrKev1664 Not all Protestant religions are once saved always saved as you understand it.
When you truly believe and live by the gospel, you are saved. Yet that one must obey God, which includes doing the works of God that He ordained for all true Christians, Ephesians 2:10. So we see James said faith without works is dead. No works no faith, no faith no salvation. Works ordained by God show salvation in one who is a doer of the word, and not a hearer only, James again.
Let God show you how to put together the scriptures unto truth and salvation. You must be born again, John 3:3,5,7, the new nature of God resides in those who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ which is contained in the bible, so He can guide you into all truth and righteous living.

I usually always agree with your teaching Brother Allen but Once Save Always Save is definitely not one of them. They are many scriptures that speaks against this teaching. Paul himself said this-But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.”
1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV Jesus himself said- But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
Matthew 24:13 KJV meaning one have to endure in order to be saved, then Christ would not have said this if you were automatically saved. Christ also said- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
Matthew 24:44 KJV- there would be no need for him to tell us be ready if once save always save was true, because we would have been always ready!! When you preach this people feel too comfortable and think they are sealed with Christ forever!! Remember in Matthew 7 :21-22-23 those people seemed surprised that Jesus rejected them because they taught they were saved already and had nothing to worry about!! We may have different views but we’re all brothers in Christ! God bless 🙏🏽
I agree Calvin... Grace is a gift we don't deserve, and we can't earn it, but we can sure lose it.
Calvin, same here. Allen is typically correct, but this one will mislead many people.
I agree with you a certain extent. I do believe there are Christians that get a little too comfortable in thinking they can sin and still go to Heaven. However, we still need to remember that we are still in these earthly bodies. Our flesh is still going to tempt us to sin, and sometimes we give in. Romans 7:16 says, "But if I know that what I'm doing is wrong, this shows that I agree the law is good." However, look at the very next verse. Verse 17: "So I am not the one doing wrong, it is the sin nature living in me that does it."
Jesus told us to be ready so that we can make sure we aren't giving in to sin and not being worldly, especially in times we're living in today. Now it is important than ever to make sure that we're really digging into God's word. It can be hard, and it's going to be hard, but like the verse you quoted, he that endures to the end will be saved. Like you said, we have different views. That's just how I view it. Bless you.
I would agree with you if you are saying that one can indeed lose their salvation if one chooses to turn his back on God and renounce God, Jesus and the salvation.
But if you are saying the we need to endure till the last moment and do "work", else we won't be saved, then I am in total disagreement.
In corinthians, you misquoted. Paul was talking about running the God race so that he can get the crown. He is talking about treasure in heavens, not our salvation itself.
In matthew, Jesus was talking about a time when many will turn away from their faith, many false prophets will beguile the believers, where many will be persecuted. It is in this context that if we stand firm in our faith, that we will be saved if we endured. Not that we need to do additional work to ensure just to be saved.
And Matthew 24:44, Jesus is telling us to be ready for the second coming, not a condition for us to be saved.
And the list goes on.
Wish I could give more than one thumbs up. God bless you brother!
‘If you love me you will keep my commandments” it’s His love that makes you not want to sin a relationship with YAH doesn’t make one say oh yeah now I can do what I want. The relationship makes you say I’m so grateful therefore I will do, not because it earns you salvation but simply because it pleases the FATHER. I appreciate this video
This is written to the Jews under the Old Testament. The words "keep his commandments" are written often times in the Bible, but not one single time for us today, the New Testament Believers in Christ in this Dispensation of Grace. Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, even repeats and explains over and over again that we are NOT under the Law, but under Grace.

Please understand: Jesus did not tell "us" any commandments, but to the Jews in the Time of the Old Testament. His earthly Ministry was for them only, as he himself stated in Matthew 15,24
They were under the Law at that time. "We" were Gentiles and served false gods and pagan idols at that time. How does the Bible describe that horrible condition?
"That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and *without God in the world* :" (Ephesians 2,12)

Let's say you tell your children to not do drugs and they disobey you and do it anyways. Of course you are going to love them because they are your children, but you won't love that they are on drugs because that path leads to death. Same with God. He loves us so much that He wants us to turn away from sin because sin leads to death. It doesn't lead to life. You can't say you love your children and let them go down the wrong path. If you truly love them you'll warn them and want them to turn their life around.

Thank you brother Allen for this video because me and my wife had our differences tonight about this very subject and whether or not someone can be blotted out from The book of Life. She gave me a couple scriptures that seemed to indicate that someone can be blotted out but these are Old testament and they referred to being blotted out of the earthly life and not the spiritual life. You give such a clear understanding I'm going to give this video to my wife and an email and this will solve this problem once and for all. May God bless you always and forever!
One thing is to fall into sin but recognizing your faults, then continuing to look for God to give you strength for your weaknesses and always fighting to do God's will. Another thing is to purposely sin by thinking you can never lose your salvation, so you do whatever you want, and this is how you can lose your salvation no matter of the sin or how many sins you are committing.

If someone is drowning in a pool, and someone pulls them out, they are saved...

That's the doctrine of OSAS.
@@amysargent1947 why was Jesus crucified? because of our sin and if we continue in sin ,we are crucifying our saviour afresh. The death of Jesus upon the cross is to lead you to repentance, it is greatest manifestation of love and by receiving God’s love, we will walk in obedience to His commandments
Great anology
The only believer who cannot possibly lose their salvation is a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ who has overcome sin and sickness in their life by enduring God’s sanctification process. This is because they are now someone who is born of God and so they can no longer sin nor can the devil touch them with his afflictions. They are now considered to be a Christian since they cannot sin and they live exactly “like Christ.” Most believers definitely are not Christians nor are they even born again. They are simply what God would call a deceived believer who fell for lies from the devil.
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
God commanded us to live holy and righteously which can only be achieved by learning how to overcome our sins. This is why God sent us the Holy Spirit in order for Him to teach us how to stop sinning. Most believers are deceived about scripture and so they fall for the many lies of the devil and they continue in a life of sin.
Once saved always saved is one of those lies and it has been fabricated by those who follow the devil. These misguided souls are simply looking for the easy way out since living righteously is very difficult and it requires a very big effort on our part. They of course refer to living righteously as a works salvation and they use this term in order to justify their sin and their utter ignorance of truth. So I will now expose how they often speak lies and I will use their own slogan to prove their utter nonsense.
How many times do you hear these people claim that we are “SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH” or “SAVED BY GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE.” Over and over you will hear this nonsense and it simply reveals their complete ignorance of both God and scripture. Their own words are proving that they follow the devil and his lies and it exposes the nonsense about this once saved always saved fallacy. Here is the scripture that these lost souls are clearly misquoting.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
“For by grace you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH.” You are not “saved by grace through faith” as their ignorant soul desires to believe. It is by God’s Grace that we are saved through our faith. Faith requires action and you are not saved by grace. There are no such scriptures that relate that we are “SAVED BY GRACE.” This is why scripture relates that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:14-26 NKJV
“Faith without works is dead” is not saying that you must work to earn your salvation, for no one can earn their salvation since it is a free gift from God. But what it is saying is that you must prove your faith by acting on it and if you do not prove it then you really do not believe. So just saying that you believe means nothing to God since Satan and his demons will even do that! If you really believe then you must prove that you believe. Have you sold everything that you own and given to the poor as Jesus instructed? See Matthew 19:21. Have you forsaken all of your possessions as Jesus requires in order to be a disciple? See Luke 14:33. If you have not done any of these things then you certainly are not following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you clearly do not understand God or scripture. You are proving that you have no clue as to what it even means to believe and you are simply choosing the path to your destruction. Realize that Abraham believed in God so much that he was willing to kill his son in order to prove it. So if you do not act on your faith it is dead and it is useless since it certainly proves that you DO NOT REALLY BELIEVE.
Now any person who accepts Jesus into their life receives His Holy Spirit and they are now saved. This does not make them any wiser about God’s truth though and it does not take away their free will to still choose evil. This is why they must surrender their will to the Spirit and allow the Spirit to now change their heart. See Romans 12:1-2. But if that person does not allow the Spirit to start changing their sinful ways to God’s Holy ways and they resist God’s discipline then the Spirit will eventually depart. God calls this procedure sanctification but yet most believers never even allow it to occur since they do not understand how to test the Spirits as commanded in 1 John 4.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.”
I John 4:1-3 NKJV
There are many believers who believe that they can never stop sinning even though there is not one scripture that states that a Christian will always sin. Now really think about this for a moment. A Christian is someone who is a follower of Christ which means they are supposedly living a sin free life just as Jesus did, but yet most believers think that scripture is relating to them that they can never stop sinning! There are scriptures that use terms like, do not sin, has died to sin, has ceased from sin, cannot keep on sinning and cannot sin. All of these terms are used when describing a follower of Christ so why would any believer think that they could never stop sinning?
Many are ignorantly believing that Jesus came to forgive our past, present and future sins. This spoken untruth is having people believe that they can continue in a life of sin and then simply repent and God will forgive them over and over. This is why many believe that if they repent just before they die then Jesus will save their sinful soul. This twisted reasoning would mean that you can continue to steal and then simply repent. You can then lie and then repent. You can then murder and simply repent. You can keep committing whatever sin you desire and simply repent afterwards and you will always be forgiven. This is simply utter nonsense that is fabricated by the devil to make you believe that you will always sin.
So here is what most believers are missing. Yes we are all born in sin and we have all sinned but this does not mean that a believer can never stop sinning. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and this occurs at the moment that we repent of our sins and we accept Jesus and His Holy Spirit into our life. Once we receive His Holy Spirit we were then commanded to surrender our will to God so that we would allow the Spirit to sanctify our heart in God’s truth.
Sanctification is a process where God has us face the lies, the deceptions and the temptations from the devil head on in order to show us how to overcome sin. God does this to teach us His truth and to correct our thinking regarding the sins and the lies that the devil may have us believing. Sanctification requires a lot of time, patience, suffering and endurance and this is actually when many believers fall away. Jesus gave us these examples in the parable of the sower. These were people who believed for awhile but then fell away to one of Satan’s fallacies. So this is how you prove your faith and this is not doing works in order to earn your salvation.
You see, God will not stay in a sinful environment so if you resist the Spirits discipline then the Spirit will leave and you will never get Him back and you will then lose your salvation. Why! As scripture states it would be like you trying to crucify Jesus all over again. This is explained in Hebrews 6:4-8, Hebrews 10:26-39, Hebrews 12:3-13 and 2 Peter 2-20-22. And yes the Spirit will always stay with you but for that to occur you must surrender your will and do your part. You must learn to change from your sinful ways to God’s holy and sin free ways and not blaspheme the Spirit in the process. All of this explains why someone who falls for the once saved always saved narrative is simply lost and delusional in their beliefs.
@@amysargent1947 I am a child of God who has been sanctified in truth by Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit and I have overcome sin and sickness in my life. I endured God’s Sanctification process and I have been sent by Jesus to awaken the very few who possess a good heart and to expose the many wicked and deceived believers who are leading people astray.
@@amysargent1947 dear girl you know very little about God and scripture and you are treading on a very thin line. Do you honestly think that you are wiser then me? Do you really dare to go there?
I suggest you reread what I related in my comment since it clearly did not register in your lost and deceived mind.
I used to be against the once saved always saved b doctrine but this video has opened my eye. Thanks Allen. Keep learning the word and sharing your insight with us👌👌
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8 NKJV)
But continue on to chapter 3...
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
@@MrsSanctified84 But you will sin like it or not. We wrestle our flesh every day no point in pretending like we dont sin. That is foolish.
@@dariuspalmer2829, answer this for me. In this verse, Peter mentions 3 categories of ppl. The righteous, the sinner, and the ungodly.
1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
My question is...if everyone is a sinner, who are "the righteous"? Because the righteous will baaaaaaarely make it, and there's no chance for the sinner and ungodly to get in...
@@dariuspalmer2829 and let me further clarify. Im not claiming to be sinful or sinless. The Word of God is true regardless of what I am. Even if I type these words, and I live in sin, I will still miss heaven. So, again... who are the righteous??
@@MrsSanctified84 If that is the case no one will go to heaven. Only Jesus lived a sinless life. Dont listen to the prideful Christian's who believe that are better than everyone else because they live "righteous" lives they are lying to themselves and the truth is not in them.
