But the fact remains if once saved always saved the the whole statement “WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING” does not make sense.
Why work out?
Why FEAR and TREMBLING? What is there to be scared about?
Once saved always saved.
In spite of sophmoric parsing, if once saved always saved Paul was wrong.
You do not understand the difference between justification (an instantaneous, non-repetitive event upon one's irrevocable commitment to Christ, which false Catholicity doctrine claims is a process) and sanctification (which, when initiated, is an ongoing process, not simply one which Catholicism belief wrongly teaches is the activity that purchases salvation at the end of life's trail plus purgatory).
REALLY?
