Thoughts?
The early church thought that salvation was conditional based on a Christians faithfulness.
Many thought that Baptism saves and that a person had to be righteous after baptism, but if they were what then?
This is why many waited to be baptised until very late, even until just before death.
The Catholic church maintains that a baptized person is able to, with Christ’s help, what is necessary for their continued salvation.
Q: Is this accurate?
Why?
Many Protestant traditions believe that final salvation, while unconditional on God’s side, requires the continued faithfulness of the believer, which is possible because of the Holy Spirit but is not guaranteed.
While continued salvation is not tenuous or based on the believer’s works, it is possible for the believer to turn away from Christ and thereby forfeit salvation.
All of these traditions believe that salvation is synergistic—that is, they believe that both God and human beings are actors in the salvation process, although God is always the initiator and humans can only respond.
Is this accurate?
This view teaches that both God and man hold a piece of the responsibility for a persons salvation.
The Reformed tradition, however, picking up some aspects of Augustine’s teaching, believes salvation to be monergistic—that is, God is the sole cause of salvation.
Because human beings contribute nothing to the salvation process, not even a free-will response, all individuals who are chosen by God for salvation will inevitably be preserved by God until final salvation.
This view, called the “perseverance of the saints,” forms the “P” of the mnemonic acronym TULIP, which is often used to teach the Reformed view of salvation.
The doctrine of perseverance means that any individuals who seem to commit apostasy were never really believers at all.
All orthodox traditions agree on these points.
1. God desires to keep believers in salvation.
2. God has given believers eveything they need to be faithful
3. Salvation is not based on works but on God’s grace.
Traditions differ in the thought if Christians are able to reject Christ and give up or lose their salvation
You can lose your salvation
Hold fast, like its an option.
Turn to this passage and follow along
Clear sign that people can fall away.
Right?
Is this not talking about people falling away.
People who have lost their faith even leading churches.
Sounds like people who have gone back and forth from lost to saved and then lost again.
Q: Can we conclude that you can lose your salvation?
Verse’s you cannot lose your salvation
Those that belong to God cannot perish.
Those God knew, He also predestined to be made like Christ, and those He predestined he also called and then He justified and those whom He justifies He glorifies

Nothing in all of creation can separate us from God.
That assumes that we cannot either.
A guaranteed inheritance.
Imperishable inheritance, cannot fade and is being guarded by God’s power
Both or in the Middle
Can a genuine Christian lose their salvation?
Can any person earn their salvation?
Could you lose something that you never earned?
Arent the verses listed a clear contradiction in the Bible?
I do not belive so, how so?
The Bible is the Holy Inspired word of God and it speaks to us in terms that are relatable, that we can understand.
It will use terminology that looks like a person can lose their salvation because from our perspective they are losing it.
Since we have no idea who has been actually saved we cannot say for sure, we have to use the outwardly evidence to assume the inward heart, or likewise we sometimes judge someone not saved that may be.
The book that clearly outline the answer is Romans, particularly Chapter 8.
It is a detailed process/blueprint of how salvation works.
