Eternal security is a true doctrine based on the Bible which is God's Word.

The Pro said, "My opponant claims that I am not a Christian. I will briefly adress this fallacy before I begin. A Christian is someone who follows Jesus, end of story." I agree that a Christian is someone who follows the Lord Jesus Christ, but since you protestants reject the teachings of Christ revealed by the Church he established through sacred Scripture, sacred Magisterium and sacred Tradition, then that in and of itself proves that you and other protestants are not Christians but instead you are formal public manifest heretics who are outside of the body of Christ which is the "CHURCH". Now back to the debate topic. I would like everyone following this debate to notice that I had responded in detail with regards to the verse from Ephesians that the Pro had originally posted and I had completely refuted her argument by explaining that verse in context with the rest of Scripture. Notice that her response was that I should not have gone outside of Ephesians to explain Ephesians. This proves that Protestants, like the Pro, do not understand particular verses and passages in context with all of Scripture, but instead they take those verses out of context so as to twist it to conform to their false heretical beliefs. Also, notice that after I had responded to the passage from Ephesians that my opponent had posted, then my opponent completely ignored the passage from Ephesians that I had posted. The reason she completely ignored that passage, Ephesians 5:7, is because she knows it completely destroys the protestant heretical belief of eternal security. Another name for the heretical eternity security protestant doctrine is Once Saved Always Saved(OSAS). I believe that my opponent's tactic will be to continue to ignore the passages I post from scripture that refutes her heretical belief in regards to Once Saved Always Saved. I will now respond to the other verses that my opponent has posted. My opponent obviously believes that all those other verses proves that one cannot lose one's salvation, but she makes the mistake of not discerning those verses in the context of what the rest of Scripture says. You see, the rest of Scripture makes it clear that one remains justified, sanctified and in good standing with the Lord as long as they, the believers, abide in him. This is why she is not understanding the true meaning of those verses she posted. Again, she is not understanding those verses in context with what the rest of Scripture says, but instead she is ignoring the rest of Scripture so as to take those verses out of context which gives her the chance to twist those verses to mean something they do not. Therefore throughout this debate, I will provide passages from Scripture that my opponent seems to ignore, and which clearly refutes my opponents heretical belief in Once Saved Always Saved. I will once again post the verse that my opponent chose not to respond to which is Ephesians 5:5-8 Ephesians 5:5-8- "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." EPHESIANS 5:5-8 Proves that its possible for true believers to commit mortal sins and lose their salvation for their sins. This completely destroys the concept of eternal security And again, this passage clearly teaches that justified believers could commit those grave sins. Here we see St. Paul warning them...... Ephesians 5:7 "Be not ye therefore partakers with them"! Therefore, the believers could be partakers with the mortal sinners! And if there is any doubt that he is including authentic believers in that warning, he speaks of them as those who are now "light in the Lord" (true believers). ST. PAUL SAYS THAT HE COULD BECOME A CASTAWAY 1 Corinthians 9:24-27- "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." St. Paul says that he fears he could become a "castaway." The word "castaway" (in 1 Cor. 9:27) is translated from the Greek word adokimos. Adokimos is translated as "reprobate" in 2 Timothy 3:8 and in Romans 1:28. It describes lost souls, mortal sinners, apostates, and those who are outside the state of justification and/or outside the faith of Jesus. In 2 Timothy 3:8, it is used to describe evil people who "resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith" (King James Version). These are obviously not people who are in a state of justification or on the road to Heaven. In Romans 1:28, adokimos is used to describe people who have been given over to abominable sins " once again, people who are not on the road to Heaven. Adokimos is also found in other passages, including Titus 1:16, Hebrews 6:8 and elsewhere. In each case, it signifies people who are not on the road to Heaven, but outside the state of justification and/or the true faith. By declaring that he could become a castaway or a reprobate (adokimos), there is no doubt that St. Paul is saying that he could lose his salvation and be damned along with the other reprobates. Was St. Paul a true believer who had been justified? Of course he was. The Bible thus teaches that true believers are not assured of salvation. This passage completely refutes the idea of eternal security or "once saved always saved."
