The whole point of OSAS/OJAJ is that a person is ONCE AND FOREVER saved and judged, at the microsecond of grace, at their decision to accept Christ. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING after that moment can alter their salvation. There is no PROCESS of salvation. They say PAST AND FUTURE SINS all forgiven. They are not held responsible for future sin, BECAUSE THEIR SPIRIT CAN’T SIN. Therefore, they can’t sin. Therefore, they are not held responsible. They say that if they do sin, God is sad. Fellowship with Him suffers. They may get a crown with fewer jewels in it or less good stuff in heaven that they would have otherwise received, if they had sinned less on earth. But, THEY ARE STILL GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN. Someone who graduated from a Bible College told me that. Another chimed in that sin and God’s law only applied to the UNSAVED, because, OSAS/OJAJ can’t sin. The phrase “the wages of sin is death” does not apply to OSAS/OJAJ. They all believe that they will be in heaven. Let me also say that REPENTANCE to the OSAS/OJAJ is NOT mandatory. Take Ravi as the example. Whether he repented or not, he’s still going to heaven, BECAUSE, salvation was determined at that microsecond of grace.

Every single OSAS/OJAJ Christian started their journey genuinely accepting Christ as their savior, “born again”. They had faith unto salvation....Grace. I am here to tell you that God takes every one of them at their word. At that point, they are BLAMELESS, as blameless as the thief on the cross. And, if they died moments later, they will be in heaven. Judgment wasn’t an issue for the thief on the cross. It is for everyone else who then lives their life claiming to be a Christian. Because we will all be judged by the law of God and judgment starts at the house of the Lord.

Not one of these OSAS/OJAJ would CHOOSE to reject their own salvation. If it happens, it will be of their own doing, because of LAWLESSNESS.

23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

“Not one of these OSAS/OJAJ would CHOOSE to reject their own salvation.”

Hebrews says you are wrong. So does Romans 11:

“19 But you will say, “Yes, but the branches were broken off to make room for me.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe, while you remain in place because you do believe. But do not be proud of it; instead, be afraid. 21 God did not spare the Jews, who are like natural branches; do you think he will spare you? 22 Here we see how kind and how severe God is. He is severe toward those who have fallen, but kind to you—if you continue in his kindness. But if you do not, you too will be broken off.”

To repeat for emphasis: “He is severe toward those who have fallen, but kind to you—if you continue in his kindness. But if you do not, you too will be broken off.”
