questioning eternal security

[Russell Earl Kelly PHD]

I am 80 and have been a fanatical eternal security teaching Baptist until 4 years ago and am now a Free Will Baptist.

The reason I changed was that ES Baptists totally ignore God's inspired Greek present participles behind "eth" and "es" verbs like "believe," "abide" and "overcome." It is wrong to change God's Word from a "continuous," or "habitual", or "regularly" meaning into a "one-time profession of faith" which requires a past-tense aorist verb. Greek teachers should be ashamed for allowing this to occur.

Just believe in Lord Jesus own statement, as he declared that all who come unto Him he shall never cast out and away

If you believe a child of God can lose their eternal security, then based on Hebrews 6, you must hold they can never regain it.

As @JesusFan stated, Jesus stated quite plainly He would lose none given to Him by God the Father.

Peace to you

Paul confirmed that doctrine by the Holy Spirit indwelling/sealing us until second coming event, when we receive fulness of our salvation

Russell. When you were an eternal security Baptist did you believe that once saved you would be saved even if you turned from the faith or did you believe that such a thing would not happen in a true believer. And now, do you believe that you would loose your salvation if you should deliberately turn from the faith in apostacy or do you believe you can mess up and not do enough and thus loose your salvation?
