Yep. You misunderstand. We believe Christ offers Himself to us through the Eucharist so that we commune with Him in as intimate a way as is possible on this earth. It isn’t that we must “receive Christ into your life more than once.” It is simply that He comes to us to strengthen us with His grace. Salvation is not a one shot dosage of grace. Once Saved, Always Saved is a 16th century Protestant belief. It has no Biblical basis nor is it historical.

“Once Saved, Always Saved is a 16th century Protestant belief. It has no Biblical basis nor is it historical.”

So how often must you be saved? Once a week? A day? A month? How do you know when it’s enough? I somethimes think the Protestant movement was started by people too lazy to follow all the rules you folks seem to have. By the way, is there Biblical basis for needing to be saved over and over?

Salvation IS a one-time gift of grace. Growing in Christ takes many years. Without the HS, we really can’t understand what the Bible or anything else pertaining to God is all about.
