Not once saved always saved and happy, too?

[kalt]

If you don’t believe in the OSAS idea, do you worry about salvation? Does the fact that you can lose your salvation make you nervous or unhappy?

 

[Eucharisted]

I trust in Jesus. He is my joy.

Nothing defiled can enter heaven. Thank God for purgatory, I’ll be spending a lot of time there!

No, I do not worry whether I shall inhierit salvation. It is in Good Hands. I know Whom I have trusted. Salvation is a gift…and I trust the Giver.

“For I am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have commited to Him against that day.”

He is the Keeper of my soul…my Hope and Salvation…He is our All and in all…

Jesus took all believers sins with him on the cross Jesus said it is finished. Past Present and Future sins. All we have to do is confess them to him 1 Jn 1:9 Scripture says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord 2 Cor 5:8. Even the Catholic scholar Ludwig Ott admits that there is no direct or positive proof of purgatory from scripture. 1 Corinthians was written to those “who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus 1:2”. Since they were already positionally sanctified in Christ, they needed no further purification to give them a right standing before God. I don’t know about you but i am going with what the Word of God says and when He takes me i will immediatley be in His presence. God Bless

Not if you would follow the Church’s teaching … and take frequent advantage of the sacrament of Reconciliation. God gave us the Church … to encourage us purgate in here and now, and not in the hereafter.

Can one confess their FUTURE sins ?

Thats where OSAS ideas fall apart.

So, you are right back to what the Catholic Church teaches. Confess all your Past and Present sins … and experience Rebirth/Adoption/Baptism. Then, when you later sin … confess them in private on daily basis, and follow that up with frequent public confession to Christ’s appointed priests.

The Lord knows everything about us, even ours sins. You confess them to Him not to a priest. Like you said a private confession. Can you please show me where in God’s Word does it say we need to confess our sins in public to any priest.

Even if it only serves as accountability, what does it hurt? Why should brothers in Christ debate over something that is of no harm but only has potential for good?

Regardless…

John 20:21-23 (King James Version)

21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

This is where I honestly don’t see much difference in Protestantism and Catholicism sometimes. I know I’m going to get hit in the head with an anvil for saying this. But the Catholics chide the Protestants for arrogance. “How can you be so arrogant and claim to know you’re saved already? Nobody’s salvation is assured!” etc. I hear this almost every day on CAF. Catholics continually remind Protestants that salvation is only through the Church, it’s on-going, and even at the end we don’t have any real assurance of anything. Then there is purgatory, etc.

But then the Catholics in here, when asked do they worry about their salvation, they mostly, by and large, say words to the affect, “I’ll be ok. I trust in God and He loves me. He’s working in me to do good things,” etc.

One believes sanctification leads to justification, one believes justification leads to sanctification. In the end, they both end up sounding the same…

Yep. Salvation is a gift.
But is given with a loving note. Matthew 22:37-39.
