WHEN: Beginning June 1st at 10am
WHO: Everyone interested. Taught by Pastor Justin and Brian Bouwkamp (Pastor Mentorship)
One of the most common topics Christians wrestle with is “Can a true Christian lose their salvation?” Many say “Yes.” Many say, “No.” Other questions are raised as well, perhaps some you are asking:
- If I could lose my salvation, what could make me lose it?
- If I am saved, then why do I still commit sins and why do I still find the desire to sin?
- Should fear of losing salvation motivate me to live a godly life? Is that the only motivation in the bible?
- Is “once saved always saved” basically a license to go sin all I want?
- How many sins can I commit before I lose my salvation?
- What about all the passages warning Christians about apostasy?
- What about all the passages assuring Christians our salvation is secure?
- If someone walks away from the faith, did they ever truly have faith?
- If someone can lose their salvation can they get it back?
- How does God treat a sinning Christian according to the Bible? Is taking away their salvation something He does?
- How does “discipline” and “rewards” fit into this conversation?
- And many more!
