A Christian can lose their salvation 1

Kai Neilson was simply giving guidelines for how to win a debate. It was not to conform to his philosophy. I also said in the 2nd round that I had just as much to prove as you do. So we agree there. Exodus- When I say in context I don't simply mean a few verses before and after you initial verse. I mean looking at it in how it is used in the entire story. In this case it is in the story of Israel making the golden calf, as I have already mentioned. You did not address the issue I brought up so maybe you should read threw my round two argument again. Luke- You said that I simply offered my own opinion. Well in a sense I did, but my opinion of whether these individuals were Christian is based off the definition of a Christian which you gave. You also said that "whether or not they were truly Christians is irrelevant." That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. That has everything to do with this debate. If they were not in fact Christians, which is what I'm proposing based on scripture and commentaries, then they could not lose salvation for they never had it. Also the time of testing could mean on earth. i.e temptation when we are on the earth. If someone gives in to temptation then they would be falling away from God but certainly not lose salvation. Matthew- The word disown means "Refuse to acknowledge any connection with." So if they refuse to acknowledge Jesus as savior then they are not Christians in the first place, meaning they cannot have lost salvation. You went on to say "whether or not they "Disown" him is irrelevant because they never knew him in the first place." Well that's exactly my point... Ezekiel- Yes but it says if a "righteous man trust in his righteousness and does evil..." That is very different from just saying doing evil. If he trust in his righteousness and not Jesus he will not be saved. You also said "God is the one telling them they are righteous." Well, that is simply a mistake because it is God talking but he says, "If I tell a righteous man..." He, by no means, is telling them they are in fact righteous. He is simply saying If he tells a righteous man. Ezekiel- I never said that we don't sin anymore. I'm saying that it is impossible to sin to a point where we lose salvation. The theory that we can sin to a point where God will take away salvation from someone who has it is simply not biblical. Romans- You said "it only establishes that those who accept Christ are justified through Faith." It does that and more. As I said earlier those who are justified through faith are declared righteous by God. If e where to take away salvation he would have to un-declare what he already declared. Just as I wrote in round 2. John- Yes you are right when you said "the life they're given is eternal life" but that is the promise Jesus makes as soon as someone becomes a Christian by accepting Jesus as their Savior. So at whatever point in their life, if God takes salvation away, He would be breaking the promise He made as soon as they accepted Jesus as savior" Romans- This verse argues that all who Jesus justifies, He also glorifies. We learned from the other verses that justification happens at the point of acceptance of Jesus as savior. If God can take away salvation than Romans 8:30 is wrong. 2 Corinthians- I am not setting God to limitations that humans are set at. There are things that God can not do such as sin. Since he cannot sin, does that mean He is not all powerful? Of course not! God can't do anything outside of his own character. I'm saying that to make, that has already been made a new creation, an old creation, would be out of His character based on the bible. You said "According to scriptures, God can indeed take away salvation." Really? Then you should show me one I cannot refute because I already have done so to all your other arguments. Romans - you used Rev. 3:16 as a reference. You are under two pretenses that may not be true. The first is you are assuming these people God is spitting out are indeed Christians. I believe that they were, though some people don't. I'm guessing we agree on that. The second problem is that you are assuming that when it says "Spit you out of my mouth" that it is saying they lose salvation. I haven't found any commentaries that say that, but if you can find a credible one feel free to share it. You said "nothing is assured to us beyond what God promises us" Yes, that's exactly my point! God has promised eternal life to everyone who accepts Jesus as their Savior. That promise, according to Romans, happens as soon as we believe Jesus to be our Savior. If at any point God takes that salvation away, He would be breaking his promise. Which He cannot do. You just made my strongest argument yet! Thank you.
