A Question for some Protestants:

[adstrinity]

Where in the Bible does it say that 1) I am washed in the Blood of Christ, 2) IF I am washed in the blood of Christ, I am saved, 3) That once I am saved, I shall always BE saved?

Thank you.

Here is what some use on me. It isnt correct, but they use it as a OSAS passage:

11 For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw-- 13 each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

Hi.

These are not direct quotes from the Bible, though I’m sure you knew that.

I don’t use vocabulary like this myself, but I suspect that you know some people that do. Have you asked them?

Let me attempt an explanation.
The life of the human body is in the blood (Lev.17:11). Where blood ceases to flow in the body, life ends. The life of the church (the “body of Christ”) is in the Holy Spirit (Jn.6:63; Rom.8:10), the Spirit is often called the “blood of Christ”.

That is my understanding of the intent of first two statements you were asking about.

The third is a reference to the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” or OSAS, otherwise known as Eternal Security. This is the position of Calvinists. Some of the verses of Scripture used to defend this position are:
John 3:16
John 6:37
John 6:40
John 10:28-29
Romans 8:38-39
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
1 John 4:13-17

Hope that helps.

I’m sure bible citations can be found for 1) and 2)

But 3) if you’re talking about OSAS (“Once Saved Always saved”) doctrine, that’s just an INTERPRETATION of scripture (a “tradition”) and is nowhere in the Bible.

Rev 1
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Colossians 1
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Ephasians 4
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Ephesians 1
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted(same word as “highly favored” said of Mary in Luke 1:28) in the beloved. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

How does this support OSAS?

 

[sonseeker]

1 Peter 1:1-25 (NASB95)
1 *Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen *
2 *according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure. *
3 *Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy **has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ***
4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
**5 **who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,
7 *so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; *
8 *and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, *
9 *obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. *

I don’t know; I’m probably misinterpreting it.

That’s funny…I use that as part of the context of Purgatory.
