Guess what? Even after you die and are accepted in heaven YOU can still LOSE your salvation.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him sould not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

If you are right, then John 3:16 is a lie.


Well, I am right. You have just proved it by posting the most memorized verse in the Bible, John 3:16. The key word that you are conveniently ignoring in that verse is the word should . The phrase "should not perish" is not the same as the phrase "will not perish."

God is clearly letting all people here know that just believing in Jesus once does not guarantee salvation.

Thank you for proving my point.

I am right, and of course John 3:16 is, was, and will always be true.

Once saved, always saved. What is so difficult to understand about the phrase "everlasting life"? You cannot loose "everlasting life", otherwise it wouldn't be everlasting.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. - John 10:27-28
