“Open Bible Study” #2 – A Discussion with a Baptist Preacher: Once Saved, Always Saved?

“Open Bible Study”

April 10, 2010
“Once-Saved-Always-Saved?”

This present study concerns the subject of “Once a person is saved, will he always be saved or can a saved person sin to such a degree that he can lose his salvation?” On April 10, 2010 Mr. Chad Kaminski came to our church building and spoke in defense of his belief that, although a Christian can sin and even fall, they will not “finally fall” – that is, a truly saved person will not ever be eternally lost.  When he finished, George Battey, the preacher for the Good Hope Rd.

We at the Good Hope Rd. Church of Christ believe the only way to have the unity Jesus prayed for is to gather with those who disagree and discuss the things which divide us.  And while we may not immediately agree after these sessions, it is certain we will never have unity if we ignore each other and ignore the issues which divide us.
