Pod, if he HAD eternal life, he still has it.

No. One can lose his salvation, as referenced in Revelations when Jesus talks of "removing one's lampstand from its place" and "erasing their name from the lamb's book of life". It could be argued that Judas was saved at one point but..well..look what happened to him.

No, you are DEAD WRONG.

Salvation is NOT something that we can physically hold onto, it is a spiritual event.

It is something that you either possess NOW or don't possess.

The Bible is clear: You receive Salvation as a FREE GIFT when you place your faith In Christ's atoning death on the Cross as the full payment for your sins and repent of your sins. None of that is aphysical act, it is one of the heart.

It is NOT your good deeds that KEEP you saved, either, it is CHRIST that keeps you saved!

There is NOTHING in your good deeds that gets you saved or helps you stay saved at all.

It is Christ that saves you and it is CHRIST that keeps you saved.

(John 10:28 KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

(John 10:29 KJV) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

If you are in Christ's hand, then you, even yourself, cannot cause Christ to let go, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

(1 Pet 1:5 KJV) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
