- "The film "Once Saved, Always Saved?" is a thought-provoking documentary that examines the controversial doctrine of eternal security in Christianity. Through interviews with scholars, theologians, and religious leaders, the film delves into the historical origins and biblical arguments for and against the belief that once a person is saved, their salvation cannot be lost."

@OnoDiamante thank you brother for your hard work with contending for the faith, could you please consider doing a video regarding this current movement that is within the body, where by brothers and sisters are convinced that Jesus and the Father will only respond to Hebrew pronunciation or Aramaic uses of their names ✝️🙏♥️ peace be with you
Diamante I’m here to tell you I saw you in a vision. It was judgment day and you had no rewards, possibly worse. I saw you at the judgement seat stomping and mad and pouting and looking with disdain because you realized then that you were wrong and you squandered your earthly life but can’t do it over. If you receive this comment may it cause you to do what needs to be done different before then. If you don’t receive this comment, may it warn others.
@@evangelisticoutreach1sorry we trust Gods word rather than your demon filled visions
John5:24, John11:25-26
I really want to ask these people what they define as “saved” because the way I see it saved means
Jesus paid your sin debt in full, separated your body of sins and placed them on the cross, then given you eternal Life, and sealed you until the day God redeems us/calls us home to be with him.
If all this is true then how can one lose any of this?

“So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.

“I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.” [He told them this because they were saying, “He’s possessed by an evil spirit.”]
If my salvation depended on me, then I would definitely not enter heaven. Ever.
Only Jesus' precious blood. Thank You Lord. 🙌🏼🩵✝️
Amen...only the blood
Amen!!! 👍
That is what I'm telling everyone when I give them the gospel. Our only hope is in Jesus perfect and finished work at the cross. I'm not going to heaven because I'm am good. I'm going to heaven because He is good.
Amen!!
@@MetzyMetzWe are going to heaven "IF" we obey Jesus' comnandments and abide in him ( John 15)
You’re killing it with these videos, brother. I’m glad they made this documentary for you to obliterate with in context scripture. God bless you and your family. Glory to God
Can a bible verse "kill" another bible verse?
I think you finally beat this topic into my head so I believe once saved always saved
HEAVEN REJOICES BROTHER! ALL GLORY TO GOD!
Read Ephesians chapter 1. We have security in the Lord!
AMEN, brother Kyle! OSAS is the God's honest Biblical Truth! 🙏✝️🕊
[GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH FAITH]
"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
[BOASTING EXCLUDED]
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. [THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH APART FROM THE DEEDS OF THE LAW]."
~ Romans 3:21-28
"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, [YOU WILL BE SAVED]. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."
~ Romans 10:9-10
For “[WHOEVER] calls on the name of the LORD [SHALL BE SAVED].”
~ Romans 10:13
"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, [YOU WERE SEALED] with the Holy Spirit of promise, [WHO IS THE GUARANTEE OF OUR INHERITANCE] until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."
~ Ephesians 1:13-14
"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
"He saved us, [NOT BY THE RIGHTEOUS DEEDS WE HAD DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY], through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
~ Titus 3:5
"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, [HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSES, HAVING WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF REQUIREMENTS] that was against us, which was contrary to us. [AND HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF THE WAY, HAVING NAILED IT TO THE CROSS]."
~ Colossians 2:13-14
"I have been crucified with Christ; [IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME]; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. [I DO NOT SET ASIDE THE GRACE OF GOD; FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES THROUGH THE LAW, THEN CHRIST DIED IN VAIN].”
~ Galatians 2:20-21
"Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-[UNLESS YOU BELIEVED IN VAIN]. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: [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 Corinthians 15:1-4
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, [THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“[HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED]; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
~ John 3:16-18
"[AND I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH]; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; [AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND]. I and My Father are one.”
~ John 10:28-30
You probably aren’t aware of it (maybe you are), but when you finally realized that there’s nothing you can do to earn to keep your salvation and only believed on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus alone that is when God sealed you with the Holy Spirit.
🎉
Im absolutely sick of these false teachers. They're literally sitting with megaphones on the broad road telling people this is the way. Not only are they sending so many people to hell, they are literally making peoples current lives MISERABLE. Keep going Ono, so sick of this anymore.
Everyone wants to seem special in the eyes of God, we all are filthy only saved through Gods grace through faith in Christ. The mercy Yah has showed us is beyond understanding and we should be grateful for that gift of Grace. We have everlasting life through belief upon the son Christ. Love to all brothers and sisters in Christ let us continue to spread the truth and debunk the lies of the enemy
all praise and glory to God our Savior
@@johna6828 Amen Brother 🙏
@FollowGodForEternity AMEN!! You've summarized the Scriptures beautifully!
“But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like FILTHY RAGS; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” -Isaiah 64:6
“Therefore they said to Him, ‘What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you BELIEVE IN HIM whom He has sent.’” -John 6:28-29
Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who BELIEVES IN ME has everlasting life..” - John 6:47
“For we maintain that a man is justified by FAITH apart from works of the Law.” -Romans 3:28

Whenever you finish this video series on this accursed documentary, you should add up all your debunk videos on this documentary and put them all in one long easy to consume video compilation.
that would be a great addition as a compendium to share with others for instructional use
Right on!!
That's exactly what I've been saying. All those lose-your-salvation people should humble themselves, shut their mouth, go to a monastery in Siberia, and WORK for their Salvation till they die, instead of condemning other Christians. If I'm going to Hell for this or that reason, then my brother, you're coming with me too, because you ain't good enough yourself
I have come to realise that you certainly can lose your salvation! If you read Revelation, Jesus is speaking to the churches, telling them that if they don't repent from ALL of their sins (not some), they will be blotted out of the book of life?
We are to be blameless and perfect; completely sinless, following all of Jesus commands; remember what Jesus commands here in Matthew?_
Matthew 5:48 “But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 1 John 3:9
Also, remember Ananias and Sapphira both had the Holy Spirit and they were struck down for lying to Him.
God makes things very clear to us in Ezekiel_
[20]The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
[21]“But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
[22]None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.
[23]Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?
[24]“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.
[25]“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair?
[26]When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies.
[27]Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive.
[28]Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
[29]Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair?
[30]“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
[31]Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?
[32]For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”
Ezekiel 18:20-32
I would never make it to heaven if anything at all depended on me and my actions and behaviors. THANK YOU JESUS for Your PERFECT sacrifice.
I have been a Christian for forty years. I have wrestled with this issue many times. I must say, the concept that, "If You COULD Lose Salvation, Then You WOULD Lose Salvation" is something which never entered my mind, per se. It is so true that it may be the last word on the subject. How can one argue with such irrefutable logic? Thank you again, Onorato for your insight into some of the most difficult questions a Christian can ask.
Man alive, imagine these guys if they were to make it to heaven, the boasting!!!
I got here because I didn’t apostatise, I remained in the faith, I remained in the love of Jesus, I didn’t willfully sin, I persevered, I,I,I. Jesus helped out a bit but I did my part.
Such FOOLISHNESS.
God bless bro,
Keep exposing these false teachers.
It is the Holy Spirit who keeps us saved as we are led to live a holy life. There’s no boasting when the power to abide in Christ comes from God. Paul wrote: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus WHO WALK NOT ACCORDING TO THE FLESH BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.” ✝️🙌
2 Timothy 4:7-8
King James Version
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Do not stop… Preach! You encourage many whilst they discourage and dissuade. The only way you can persevere, is in security, otherwise you would give up. He will never give up on any of his children; never! ❤🙏🏻

”Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?“
John 11:25-26 KJV
I was hoping for better, but just this mornign the new pastor got into the whole repent of your sins to be saved, endure to the end to be saved nonsenese that most professional religious leader gfet into. I guess I will be forsaking that assembling together.
I'm in the same boat. My pastor claims the KJV is the word of God but uses the Greek to change words he doesn't agree with. Also says the whole repent of your sins to be saved and call/confess to be saved, and Christians can sin but won't "practice" sin, etc etc.
Just vexing. I'm moving in a few weeks so I'm going to be much more selective with my next church... I'm going to ask much more specific questions. Mainly does he truely believe the bible is perfect... because if not, then we can't correct eachothers error using the same standard
Yes, it's very hard to find anyone who preaches the clear gospel.
@@frustratedmajority851He most likely isn't even saved.
@@frustratedmajority851 Yeah I forgot abot the 'calling out to Jesus' thing that was the first sign from this guy that he was not clear on the gospel. I guess when they notic me missing I will tell them why, though I don;t expect the people there to listen to a nobody when their pro is telling them otherwise.
”I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,“
Revelation 2:21-22 ESV
Sexual immorality is sin this verse is talking about repenting of sin (the sin of sexual immorality).
Spot on. That really is the simplicity of it.
Your videos are refreshing and up lifting. Please continue in God’s grace and bless us with many more.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
When people say stuff like this they should stop and ask themselves. “Does what I just said really sound like “good news”?”
The good news is it’s all of Christ! He is God’s champion! He won the whole thing! It is finished! Amen!
In all my years of reading the passages about the olive branches, not once had I ever thought it was about one's salvation. I've always read it with the same understanding Onorato is preaching.
Those in the video are reaching extra hard and are grasping at any straw to convince folks hell is around the corner via the loss of salvation. I've noticed thise who dont believe in OSAS get really angry and desperate to be right if a person isn't going along with the concept of losing salvation.
Thank you for these videos ❤
That some teachers would twist this clear context into saying that a regenerated born again spirit can be un-born again is infuriating. Hey Jesse Morrell, Micheal Brown, and friends - how many times have you lost your eternal life and had to get born again, again, and again?
Just found you channel, and so far I'm really liking your content.
You are exactly correct, the admonishment is that the church remain faithful to the Gospel or risk being replaced as were their predecessors.
I love brother Schimmel, I really do, but everyone in this "documentary" dishonestly conflates Once Saved, Always Saved with Calvinism. They know that it's not the same thing, but their argument falls apart without it. Works and obedience are evidence of salvation, not salvation or the cause of salvation. I have literally never heard, or heard of, an OSAS proponent argue in favor of "perseverance of the saints." We sin. Everyone does. Even Paul admitted he still sinned. The honest Calvinist does, however, admit (I believe MacArthur admitted it, but don't quote me on that) that the Calvinist has NO assurance of salvation until they arrive in Heaven.
You do an excellent job contextualizing the verses and providing Biblical evidence for eternal assurance. It is, however, sometimes useful to state a concept in inverse terms. In this case it would be "not saved, never saved." I.e., If you die without Christ, you were never truly in Christ. I've looked for a verse that would contradict that idea, but I've yet to find one. If anyone has a verse that would contradict that, please share it with me.
Also, why is it every time one group of Christians has a difference with another group of Christians eventually one (or both) will call the other Gnostics? Can we just stop already?
The greatest thing that can keep you away from the salvation of your soul is effort
Amen. Keep up defending the truth.
Yes onorato God is good
Continuing in faith is not a work. When Christ healed people, He asked, "Do you believe?". He never once asked "Did you believe at one time?". In Hebrews 3:12 the writer warns us that unbelief in our hearts CAN cause one to fall away. That point to the importance of allowing God to sanctify us, which is accomplished through His discipline, also addressed in Hebrews.
I’ve got a death grip on salvation(John 11:25-26). Thanks for clarifying chapter 11. Lots of gullible people taking the bait on that one.
I never understood that if you couldnt earn your salvation what makes you think you can maintain it😂Pride is a sneaky devil, Keep it up bro!
Love that you’re taking the time to do these videos man. God bless 🙏🏽
More need this gospel.
Aman God bless you brother ☀️
The Bible calls Jesus "that eternal life" and "the Lord is that Spirit" so having been sealed with the Holy Spirit, we are sealed with Eternal Life unto the day of redemption, and He will never leave.
Hebrews 13:5 For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
What a shameful 'documentary'. Sign of the times! God bless.
I did needed objective rational reasons to believe '
I got them too '
With a sceptical mindset '
Did watched plenty of different NDE from peoples from all around the world '
Regardless of faith religion '
Even kids from atheist's family's '
Plenty of atheist's also'
None of them know eachother either '
Then I noticed a commen saying from all of them '
MORE REAL THEN THIS PHYCICAL LIFE IS REAL, AND MUST IMPORTENT THEY all have meet Jesus '
Who do you explain that did I ask myself '
Then I came to the conclution They all have had an afterlife experience and JESUS IS REAL '
Shared my story from Agnostic to OSAS Born-Again believer '
Please pray for me.
I have had some pretty severe doubts about Jesus and the validity of Himself recently, and I want nothing to do with them.
Thank you.
Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful comments and recommendations.
Stand firm in your belief and just let go of the world. KNOW what is coming, which is euphoric happiness with Jesus Christ. You don't belong in this world, neither do I or any other faith-relying Christian. We're just here temporarily, do our thing and die. Let Jesus do the rest, rely on Him to resolve it all. KNOW that Jesus Christ LOVES YOU!
Also, it's just morbid thinking. We all have them at some point. It'll pass as long as you see them as morbid thinking.
My advice to you is to read the gospels (or listen to them on audio) that tell you all about who Jesus is and why He came. Perhaps start with the Gospel of John. Also read Matthew, Mark, and Luke, too. Before you know it your faith in the Lord will be restored. PS. Jesus loves you. He came to save you. (John 3:16-17)
Idk if it helps but I’ve been praying for God to destroy my unbelief when I pray and it’s really helped. I say it every time I pray just about, I forgot for a week because my doubts had pretty much left but I’m keeping it my prayers now anyway. I will pray for you right now.
You can pray Lord I believe, help my unbelief. Read John KJV. Jeremiah 29:13 is another
Pray for me too. I'm the one who's a big sinner and is struggling with calvinism. Pray for that one.
Man spot on!!! By their own reasoning concerning this verse, a Jew is cut off eternally, and can not ever be saved unless God grafted them back in......
I notice these heretics never, as far as I have seen, never talk about the only thing that saves........God's Blood.
Thank you Onorato, that was great!
Amen to that.
These guys probably live in constant fear and terror everyday!
What I’ve noticed most about works based salvation is people focus on just the one verse, when the contrary is just a few verses or an adjacent chapter away
“Uphold the word of God and change your theology”
Yeah yeah sure thing pharisee, I hope there was a mirror behind the camera when he said that.
Facts
TV time ono!! Jesus!!🙏🌈❤️
Title has a great point.
"The physical nation of Israel has been temporarily cast away."
Thank God that you don't hold to replacement theology like some of those from a certain denomination.
Whenever Free Grace Christians argue scripture, they read full passages and corroborate them with numerous other scripture. False works-based Christians always use one or 2 single verses out of context to prove their doctrines. Free Grace is the truth and the unsaved do all they can to discredit true salvation
Very good points and thank you for continuing to defend the Gospel. It's worth noting that most of these false ideas about losing one's salvation come from these crooked translations. No doubt about it.
Amen and Amen brother!
If we can lose it then heaven will
Be empty
Amen.
you are one of best teachers there
Any other brother and sisters who believe in the Gospel of Grace that live in Chicago or am I the only one?
Hey brother is it possible to edit in something titling the videos you are responding to make clear you are refuting this position I sent a video to my father and he got confused thinking it was all one thing and got confused thanks 🙏
An example of this kind of "cutting off" that Paul is talking about could be when a local congregation or a denomination starts out faithful but later becomes heretical or even unbelieving. "Keeping faithful" or "holding fast to the word of truth" isn't just for the individual. If a group starts compromising on the Word of God and starts introducing heresies, the consequences for the proceeding generations will get worse and worse.
I'm in Dallas and I would like to come some where and hear you speak.
Where would the best place for me to see you be.
Me too
Is the action of changing one's mind a work?
This is a good question. I think it is a work, but we are called to do good works. However, our salvation is not dependent on our works.

Will anyone 🤔 lovingly correct "Jay" from FOREVER BLESSED MINISTRY. 🙌
Mr. Shimmel is always preaching another gospel. He and Chad do well exposing satanic rituals and worship from rock music and rap. But i pray these two will eventually be in the osas camp. 😊
Hebrews 6:4-6 states it pretty clear. 6:26 keeps it going.
The big problem that comes from the osas belief is judgement of the non-Christian. We are to judge the church but not the world. Osas will say oh this guy never truly believed to begin with where if that is true you have just judged someone not of the church and are wrong.
You cannot correct a brother in sin through osas since you cannot be sure of if they are part of the body bc you would be judging and you cannot know who is of the body.
Incorrect. ruclips.net/video/k0O54jiK_8s/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@OnoDiamante idk how you come to your conclusion.
"Shared in the holy spirit" = saved
"Then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance..." = loss of salvation
Very simple, but you are trying to make the Bible say what you want it to say. I've seen alot of your videos and you really like to explain away direct statements bc it doesn't fit your narrative.
We choose to accept God and that also means we can choose to deny God even after accepting him. That's how choice/freedom works.
Loss of salvation is a choice just like salvation is a choice.
I'm not gonna draw a line and say this is when you lose salvation, but if you continue in sin after accepting its my/our job as brothers and sisters in christ to let them know the path they are walking and where it leads.
With your stance you cannot reach out and let them know they are sinning because you don't know if they are part of the body or not. That would be judging a nonbeliever.
@@phenofoxe1428 You’re not going to draw a line because you can’t. I come to my conclusions by comparing scripture with scripture. How do I harmonize this passage with the eternality of life promised, the sonship of the believer, divine chastisement, etc.? Instead of taking these facts into account, you discard context and create contradiction.
So basically it is theology with context vs. theology without context. Why would someone go down the road without context is looking like a how does this read with only me in mind or how does this pertain to how good I am doing. So what this is telling me is the truth behind self denial. The real truth of self denial. Denying self isn't focusing on self to get rid of ungodly issues (which is still something I must do) but it is getting rid of self in the context of what Jesus did. I must get rid of self in any of my understandings of my position upon believing. My position is completely dependent on Christ. My self has nothing to do with it with the exception of believing. God Bless
The sin I fell into today with my lustful eyes is confusing me. I've watched so many testimonies of freedom, but I keep falling. I do know my salvation is secure through Christ, but I'm wondering if this sin of mine is something I should have escaped from long ago. Wondering if something is wrong with my Walk/Faith/Trust etc. Any insights?

👏
1 Timothy 2:12 tell us about this please
Great video as always my brother
Hypothetically, if you were to put together a bible study of some sort id be all in with that. Just a thought 😅
Okay. There's one more occurrence that doesn't quite make sense to me. It's in 1 Corinthians 15: 2. "If ye keep in memory what I preached unto you.."
I've read this many times and examined the context. It appears to me that Paul is speaking to individuals rather than any corporate group.
I always see that as the same way I would talk to someone who I got saved months ago.
"Do you still remember what it takes to get to heaven?"
@Hebrews_412_KJV it would appear, to me at least, that Paul is saying if you keep in memory what I told you then that's where you're standing.... but it's strange that in the middle of that he says by which ye are also saved.
It's just a peculiar way to form a statement to me.
But then the stronger statement is that he's talkimg about believing in vain. Some had been saying that there is no ressurection and Paul goes on to explain that we believe in vain if that were the case. So it must all go together as one statement.
Meaning...if we remember.that.Christ rose from the dead we are standing in that faith by which we were saved.
It makes sense to me. But as I said, it's a peculiar way to state this all.
I realize all or most street preachers say we need to repent of our sins to be saved. They are so passionate, courageous, but incorrect.
It's kinda hard to be in the mindset to think you need salvation if you're not already in a repentance mindset.
"If"!? "If you continue...."!? Ok!!!
Get it or not believe or not so what we think about yourselves with works for salvation believe 🎯👍or lost in confusion 🙏🤡🙏
Hey man what do you think of the "Q" source
@OnoDiamante AMEN!! Your teaching consistently corrects error by examining Scriptures in their context! The false teachers you refute need to ask themselves, "Which is logically correct? [1] Once receiving ETERNAL LIFE, always having ETERNAL LIFE," or [2] "You can lose ETERNAL LIFE"?" It is easier to understand the correct Biblical understanding of the permanence of being born again by using Jesus' own terminology of ETERNAL LIFE instead of "once saved, always saved" versus "you can lose your salvation," which are phrases not found in the Bible. The correct Biblical teaching becomes logically clear when we use Jesus' own terms of ETERNAL LIFE and BORN AGAIN because ETERNAL LIFE is not really eternal if you can lose it, and once you are BORN you cannot become UNBORN!!.
Our authority should not be Bible professors, Bible scholars, pastors, other book authors, and RUclipsrs--all of whom disagree among each other, As you do Ono, we all need to compare any human's teaching against the very Word of God because God has warned us to be alert to false teachers:
“I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.”-Acts 20:29-31
“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron” -1 Timothy 4:1-2
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” -2 Peter 2:1
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” -Matthew 7:15
The false man-made philosophies of Calvinism (OSAS for the so-called "elect" and Arminianism (supposing one can lose salvation) both require faith plus works to persevere in Christian living to the end of mortal life to attain heaven. In the New Testament book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul made it clear that adding works to faith for eternal justification and eternal life is a DIFFERENT “gospel” which is NOT really “good news” (the literal meaning of “gospel”).
“…a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. … I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” -Galatians 2:15-16, 21
“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” -Galatians 1:6-9
Eternal life is a FREE GIFT received only by grace through belief in Jesus Christ:
Jesus Christ said, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” -John 3:16
Jesus Christ “…was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” -Romans 4:25.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 6:23
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” -Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus Christ clearly taught that eternal life is only available to those who believe in Him without adding their own deeds:
“Therefore they said to Him, ‘What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’” -John 6:28-29
Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life..” - John 6:47
“For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.” -Romans 3:28
“But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” -Isaiah 64:6
Receiving eternal life does not require the works of following Jesus over time. Instead, Jesus taught that once a person believes in Him for eternal life, one has permanently passed from death into eternal life that can never be lost.
“…he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” -John 5:24
The verb translated in English as“has passed” is μεταβεβηκεν which is in the perfect tense active indicative (third person singular-see biblehub.com/lexicon/john/5-24.htm). The perfect verb tense in NT Greek connotes a one time action with continuing results. “If you remember that the meaning of the word perfect is complete, then you can remember that the perfect tense has to do with completed action. But the perfect tense is a primary tense because it emphasizes the present, or ongoing result of a completed action.” The third person singular makes clear that the person believing in Jesus is the personal recipient of the one time action with continuing results. Thus Jesus is making clear that the person who “believes in Him” as a one time action is the recipient of the continuing result of having “passed from death into life.”
Grace and Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Gal. 3 Verses 28 to 29 [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Two decades of very bad translations and almost everybody has become a lordshipper.

Collosian 2:14,15
I really enjoyed the teaching.
Romans 8:12-13; 11:19-22 - Again notice that Paul says that IF we (believers) live according to the flesh we will die but IF we (believers) live according to the Spirit we will live. We believers thus have a choice to make - even we who are already saved! Our salvation is thus conditionally based by and on God’s terms. And so it is possible that a Christian can be “cut off” and thus lost. (Notice the conditional statements in Romans 8:9,10,11,13,17; 11:17,18,21,22,23,24; etc.)
@@kac0404 You need to understand that to be carnally minded is death, but he is talking about the body dying. 1 Corinthians 3:1-17. None of those scriptures are saying we lose our salvation. Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 1 john 5:10-11 says you are calling God a liar if you don't believe the record God gave of his Son, and this is the record, that God has given us eternal life, and that life is in his Son. Eternal is not part time life, it lasts for ever.
@@EugeneHolley-rc6ry John 10:26-29 - This is one of the favorite passages for those who would attempt to prove the false doctrine of “once saved, always saved.” Tragically many neither see nor understand what the passage actually says. Our Lord says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.” Now here is what most fail to notice: The very promise of eternal security is not unconditional but conditional! Those who are given the promise of eternal life are those who “hear and follow” Jesus. Both of these terms are in the present tense and indicate continuing action! This passage does not say that all you have to do is to have “heard and followed” Jesus once when you “got saved” and then God will forever save you. What is more, the term for “hear” means, “to listen, to hearken … to obey”! This is what discipleship is all about - “the obedience of faith.” In order to be given the promise of eternal assurance we must continue on in the hearing and obedience of faith. There is no “once saved, always saved” in this Word of the Lord. Such a dogma as “once saved, always saved” is not taught in Scripture and it is especially not taught in this passage. If you quit “listening to” God; if you quit “obeying” the Lord; if you quit faithfully “following the Lord” … then you will not, you cannot be saved.
I wonder how sinless all these teachers are
I don’t understand how you are debunking these preachers..? How can one continue in something he never started? You can’t escape from what the text clearly states.
2 Peter 3:17
“You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked”
The length the OSAS crowd will go to for a cop-out is saddening.
@michaelbarger3665 Michael, you are sadly misinterpreting 2 Peter 3:17 as though it refers to loss of eternal life, Please carefully note that 2 Peter 3:17 does NOT warn believers that they can be led away TO LOSS OF ETERNAL LIFE, and does NOT warn believers that they can be led away to HELL if they join the error of the wickedl You are mistakenly reading your lack of faith in Jesus' promise of ETERNAL LIFE into verses that in context are NOT discussing LOSS OF ETERNAL SALVATION!!
Tragically, you are not understanding the basic grammar of Jesus' teaching in the Gospel of John. Jesus taught that once a person believes in Him for eternal life, one has permanently passed from death into eternal life that can never be lost.
“…he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” -John 5:24
The verb translated in English as“has passed” is μεταβεβηκεν which is in the perfect tense active indicative third person singular-see biblehub.com/lexicon/john/5-24.htm. The perfect verb tense in NT Greek connotes a one time action with continuing results. “If you remember that the meaning of the word perfect is complete, then you can remember that the perfect tense has to do with completed action. But the perfect tense is a primary tense because it emphasizes the present, or ongoing result of a completed action” (quoted from www.ntgreek.net/lesson23.htm). The third person singular makes clear that the person believing in Jesus is the personal recipient of the one time action with continuing results. Thus Jesus is making clear that the person who “believes in Him” as a one time action is the recipient of the continuing result of having “passed from death into life.”
Furthermore, Jesus repeatedly taught that a person immediately possesses eternal life themselves the moment they believe in Him. For example, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
The original Greek word for "have" in "have everlasting life" is εχη verb - present active subjunctive - third person singular, which clearly communicates that the person themselves immediately possesses. "everlasting life" the moment they "believe in Him." And because "everlasting life" lasts forever by clear definition of Jesus' own words, that everlasting life can NEVER BE LOST! Throughout the Gospel of John, Jesus uses several pictures of eternal life that indicate that the one who places their trust in Him immediately and forever possesses "everlasting life." See for example, John 4:14 "shall never thirst," and John 6:27 "the food which endures to eternal life."
I recommend that you pray for God the Holy Spirit to illumine the Scriptures to you, then read the Gospel of John, and decide to believe in Jesus Christ to immediately receive the FREE GIFT of eternal life yourself as He promised He will give you if you only BELIEVE IN HIM and BELIEVE His words promising eternal life the moment a person believes, instead of doubting or misinterpreting what He said (see John 6:28-29; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 6:23) Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life..” - John 6:47
With my prayer for you and with my hope you will believe in Jesus Christ and His teaching on how you can immediately receive EVERLASTING LIFE that can never be lost by definition,

@@user-ts3er2dy8b God doesn’t care if you’re a bible scholar or not. He cares if you’ve believed in him or not. They are just like the religious Pharisees of Jesus’s day. They all knew the scriptures and lived “Holy lives” in their own eyes, but they were never truly saved because they didn’t put their full faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
I've noticed something about the work based salvation and the story of Adam and Eve
Hear me out
A snake told them they'll be like God if they ate the forbidden fruit right when you eat the fruit what ur saying is ( ay look God I don't need you I can define good and evil on my own) and without God there's only death
Same with the work based salvation mind set a snake is saying hey don't listen to God you can use ur good works to have life don't listen to the free grace teaching listen to my own teaching which is do good and ur saved by ur own efforts.
This is the same lie that was in the garden of Eden which is being fed to us over and over again the devil isn't against good morals he's against God ( life) that is why we have so many people trusting in there own abilities ( they become their own gods by doing this ) instead of trusting in Jesus the only true God who already gave us life all we have to do is admit we are idiots and we need him to save us and we are saved
If these guys that made the documentary are right. What happened to God's longsuffering? 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. !!But God's longsuffering ends the moment we sin again after salvation according to this documentary. We knew better right? "Whoop you told a lie and you knew it was a sin. You knew better you're going to hell now." "OK you apologized you're back in now." "Oops you looked at a woman in lust back on the Naughty List you go hell bound." "Phew you said you're sorry good thing you didn't die before then." Does this seem like a loving all powerful all knowing God willing to sacrifice his own Son to an excruciating death to make a way for us to have a relationship with him? This very idea puts God in a box and makes him very small and petty.
So basically once we are saved by the blood of Jesus we can presumptuously dabble with sin because once saved always saved right is what you’re saying? This gives people reason to believe that you can be comfortable dabbling in sinful ways because, you are leading them to believe that no matter what you do or don’t do you will always have a one way ticket to heaven without asking God to cleanse of the sins we commit on a daily basis!
You are leading people astray, I rebuke your false doctrine in the name of Jesus!!!
1 John 3:
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

What I think they mean is that if you continue in habitual sin without a care about it not our daily sin we all commit. Not that I agree with them
That’s what they mean also I believe they’re stating someone who doesn’t believe anymore. A person who does not believe anymore cannot be saved even if they believed before God is not bullying people into a believing or salvation.
Yes…they are referring to premeditated, calculated, deliberate, active sin. The only sin we should be committing daily are unbeknownst and unintentional sin. I am glad you don’t agree with men, but I encourage you to agree with the scriptures provided below.
*1 John 3:4-10*
*4* _Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness._ *5* _But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin._ *6* _No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him._ *7* _Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous._ *8* _The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work._ *9* _No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God._ *10* _This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister._
@@user-ts3er2dy8b Salvation is a one time moment of faith in Jesus Christ. It isn’t a continuous process. If a person has changed their mind (repented), and believed that Jesus shed his blood, died, and rose again, they are eternally saved that very second. They can never lose their salvation for ANY reason. Why? Because Jesus died for ALL SIN on the cross, therefore he forgives us for ALL SIN, and that includes our unbelief/doubts.
@@HarpsDad22 I understand and 100% agree with you but I’m speaking about apostates because I believe in a clip I saw from the documentary they mentioned apostasy. So the question is do you believe an apostate is still eternally secure?
@@user-ts3er2dy8b Yes. Because like I said, when a person is saved he is saved FOREVER. Meaning from the moment a person trusts Jesus as their savior he is eternally secure and sealed with the Holy Spirit which is the guarantee of our inheritance. A person who is an apostate was most likely:
1. Never saved to begin with.
2. Was so steeped in sin God gave them up to a reprobate mind.
3. Deceived by false teachings and went astray.
But in all cases, the person themselves were still saved, but will suffer the consequences in THIS LIFE through chastisement and lose rewards in Heaven. But God’s grace is unfathomable to us. We can’t comprehend his love for us and it’s not our job to question his ways.
Romans 11 is about nations, not individuals.
Non OSAS folks: "The Scriptures are so clear we can deny Christ after once confessing belief and reject God's promise of salvation."
OSAS: "Those verses aren't for us."

@@namelessforchrist7648 Eternal life can end people: hey look here is a verse that look scary, but I know I haven't and won't lose my salvation.
@@Alrich-uo4rc Who said anything about verses looking scary?? I'm completely secure in my salvation because of the faith and hope I have in the One who keeps me. I wake up every day with a desire to be more like Him and to know more about Him. I am His son and He is my Father, I don't fear anything when I read His Word. I'm heartbroken that people teach that someone can outright reject Christ and live as a Mormon, Muslim, satanist, or an atheist and spend eternity with Christ off the basis of their profession of faith as a middle schooler who was afraid of hell so they said a prayer.
@@namelessforchrist7648 We are not talking about a profession of faith or saying a prayer, but people who actually believed the simple gospel, and then we don't say sin has no earthly consequences.
You don't even have to pray or make a profession of faith... or raise your hand or walk down an isle or, whatever strawman you use, to be saved, you just need to believe the gospel that Jesus died for your sins was buried and rose from the grave in the sense that a child trusts a somebody to take them home after school.
@@namelessforchrist7648 O and some of the people in the documentary describe the verse as scary and says it makes them feel fear.
Believers need to realise that in order to be saved we must be born again (by grace through faith) AND then we must be walking by the Spirit continually in order to abide in Christ. Yes we stumble at times but God is patient with us and always accepts our repentance. If we do not walk by the Spirit, we can indeed lose our salvation on the day of judgement. I can give you scripture upon scripture to prove this is true. Does that mean we boast? Certainly not, Paul said we must work out our own salvation but it is God who works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. And as Jesus said, “Without Me you can do nothing.” All glory to God who saves us through faith in Jesus, and keeps us saved by His Holy Spirit as He leads us to live a holy life. Without holiness, no one will see the Lord.
I love your videos, bro, but you should be careful not to lump everyone in the same category. Pastor Joe Schimmel does NOT believe in works-based salvation, so he doesn't believe his salvation depends on us. I encourage you to listen to his breakdown in his most recent video: ruclips.net/video/aFQZZuJgMGs/видео.htmlsi=YP8g7bID-CzYAlkN
Continual Faith in Jesus Christ is a requirement for security, salvation, and eternal life.
This RUclipsr actually believes in OSAS. But thanks for the video and showing the Pastors that debunk your position. OSAS is a false position.
And just because people believe that you could lose your salvation, it doesn't mean that you would automatically lose it. What a lame argument. It does not follow. Just because you "could" get a divorce, it doesn't mean that you "should" or you "would" get one.
Salvation is not an object that you could just lose wiley niley. Salvation is a relationship and a person. Salvation is the person of CHRIST! And how could you lose Christ unless you do so deliberately?
For freewill believers, it is logically consistent that if you can freely choose to be in relationship with Christ, then you can also freely choose to be out of relationship with Christ. And the Bible uses marriage as the perfect analogy for this relationship. We are the bride of Christ and He is the groom. And He loves us to the uttermost and can save us to the uttermost. But that doesn't mean that He will violate our freewill to achieve this goal or to keep His promise to us. The Holy Spirit is faithful and indwells in us and guides and convicts and woos us all the time. And even if you cheated on him 70 x 7 times, He will forgive you if you repent and return to Him. But if it is your final will that you should file for divorce, then eventually you're will, will be done. Because God will not be mocked and only He can and will determine that point of no return should you wish. For if you deny Him, He will deny you. Even when you are faithless, He remains faithful. But IF you file for divorce with God like all these Deconstructed "Christians" on RUclips, and insist that He sign the dotted line.... He will, and therefore, YOUR will be done.

This is under the charismatic teaching. I am now understanding the root of this teaching. It appeals to your "I am good" because "other's could fall away but I would never fall away" so it makes them feel good that they are not like "those sinners" so I am really starting to see the difference. Deny yourself isn't about making yourself look and do better but to deny yourself from anything to do with salvation.
@@user-zg9px6mn9m I see. There's always a resurgence of these stuff. Thanks for sharing
@@7NorthStar Yes, it is true that the branches CAN NOT produce fruit without Christ. But to say that Christ does everything and you do Nothing is absolutely wrong and false. This is the danger in thinking that Christ does everything for you and you do nothing: Because based on your thinking, if you don't bear fruit, then it's not your fault and it's Christ's fautl because He was supposed to be bearing fruit for you. Do you see the heresy in this way of thinking? Christ never said "believe in Me and sit your butt down and do nothing because I got it all." Christ said, if you love me, OBEY me. That means to actually do the things He teaches you to do. James, brother of Jesus himself, said that faith without works is dead. Dead faith can not save you Brother. To believe is to do. Christ is not a fool. He saved you not so that you can sit your butt down and do nothing and act pious. He saved you so that you should go out and fulfil the Great Commission. Christ said so Himself, "4 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you." But here you are saying, "well, I can't do anything Jesus. You just have to do it all for me and I'll just trust you" Pls Brother, this self-entitled weak western Christianity needs to stop. This is false piety, and the Father will cut you off, because you are the one not bearing fruit, not Jesus. Your philosophy is for lazy modern Christians.
@@7NorthStar okay, so we agree. It was just that certain sayings like "not of ourselves..." and "just trusting in His work..." leaves a connotation that therefore we do nothing. God will's that we participate in this life and in His mission. If we boast, we boast in Him, in His power, and in His authority. And maybe many of us don't boast, because maybe we have nothing to boast about. And then there's the other spectrum, where people boast all about themselves and nothing of Christ. So I understand. But we need a balanced view in these stuffs.
Last days warning ... Jesus is coming for His bride and Judgement will be poured out. if you are struggling with sin then you are not ready. Read 1 John chapter 3 very carefully. Many are called but few are chosen. HEADS UP!
