Only those who do the will of God will be included into the Kingdom of Heaven...

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Matthew 23:13

I think you agree with me on that. Believers of OSAS do not. It doesn’t matter what they do after they are saved by grace, they say.

I just finished watching a video entitled... Was Judas Ever Saved? A Biblical Refutation of “Once Saved Always Saved”. OSAS believers also do not believe that Judas was ever saved, and how could he, they say, he was called a devil by Christ and ended up betraying Him, and that is not something someone could have done if they were saved in the first place, let alone end up going to hell.

OSAS is a Satanic lie that will cause the loss of Salvation for innumerable Christians. I think we find common ground here. If you ever find the time, please watch/listen through it and tell me what you think. As a disclaimer I know absolutely nothing about the E511 site. But, he is spot on with this doctrinal error. He is very detailed in taking it apart. He brings out its false Calvinistic teaching roots and mentions popular authors, such as John MacArthur, as proponents, and gnostic influences. In fact, OSAS goes all the way back to the 2nd century (started by the gnostics). The first half of the video is basically explaining the errors of OSAS. The second half is specifically about Judas, AND, how OSAS fits into the the false theory that he was never saved to begin with. You may remember the laughter, jeering, and mocking I received when I proposed that Judas was saved in the beginning, then lost at the end of his life. MHGinTN lead the way on that, I believe. Well, it looks like I was right.

Essentially every argument for OSAS is BIBLICALLY refuted by this video. I watched/listened from beginning to end. It is sound doctrine. In a way, it’s sad commentary to the explaining of why so many Christians will lose their eternal salvation in the end.

I think you will find the video enlightening and instructive.

OSAS is a Satanic lie ...

I would not go that far, since there is no evidence of that origin. Instead, I would put it in this vein:

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
