[Mark17]

The difference, as I understand it, is that an evangelical of the "Once Saved, Always Saved" variety, would say that once you're saved, you're good to go, no matter what you thoughts, words and deeds subsequently may be. You can stop believing, stop praying, and stop walking in the way of the Lord and still be saved: Blessed Assurance.

I disagree with your understanding. Metmom, care to refute that argument, AGAIN.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"In the interests of accuracy, is that what you believe? That once saved, you cannot lose your salvation?

(Because if that is not your belief, then please explain what a person would have to do or fail to do, to lose their salvation.)"

I will sincerely appreciate whatever you have to say. I am particularly interested in what you would do with the two lines which *followed* the two lines you quoted, which I have cut-and-pasted above.

My mouth is shut, my ears are open. Thanks in advance.
