Once Saved Always Saved ...

Only one problem, this doctrine is, in fact, completely foreign in the history of Christianity!

It’s Not a Historical Doctrine

The well-known and highly respected Calvinist theologian, John Jefferson Davis wrote an article titled: “The Perseverance of the Saints: A History of the Doctrine” [Journal of Evangelical Theological Society 34:2 (June 1991)]. What I find interesting about this article is that John Jefferson Davis concludes that the doctrine is a new doctrine that has no precedent in history 

John Calvin created this doctrine from a misinterpretation of Saint Augustine's Treatise on the Gift of Perseverance, written around A. D. 429. Augustine believed it was possible to experience the justifying grace of God and yet not persevere to the end.Aug 29, 2016. (The Perseverance of the Saints: A History of the Doctrine by John Jefferson Davis, 1991)

The Early Church believed in Once Saved, Always… oh, Wait, No They Didn’t!

James Akin, a Catholic theologian, said in a debate with Calvinist theologian James White that no one before Calvin taught that predestination to grace automatically entails predestination to glory. End Quote 

Please watch the three video links below. John Fenn was saved as a teenager and has walked with the Lord since that day. His teachings are scriptural and solidly based on God's Word! Each video is about 10-12 minutes long but full of wisdom.

Once Saved Always Saved: 3 teachings by John Fenn, Church Without Walls International:

In these final moments, please seek the Lord for Salvation if you aren't saved, His peace that passes all understanding, and His wisdom for the days are evil!
