Cailiosa said:I'm not sure it's in the Bible actually but think about it. If I accept Christ when I am say 18, then I live my life and when I get much older I get Alztimer's (sp) Disease, and reject God because in my mind I am still a 16 year old who hates God. Do you lose your salvation then? No of course not. If you could lose your salvation because you decide to reject God, then there wouldn't be all those verses saying we cannot lose our salvation. NO verse in the Bible says we are saved until we reject Christ and then we are no longer saved.
<snipped>.....I was thinking about it because my Grandpa died of Altzimer's Disease, I asked my dad about it and he told me that once you are saved truell wholly and completly, you can NEVER lose your salvation!
In the case of getting Alzheimer's (or maybe a serious mental illness), I would say that the person is not really rejecting Christ because they are not in their right mind and probably do not understand what they are doing. I am sure God understands.
I think what we mean when we talk about this topic here are people who reject Christ with a sane mind.
