Wie steht es mit der „Ewigen Sicherheit“?

Frage: Die Bibel sagt eindeutig, „Wer aber ausharrt bis ans Ende, dieser wird errettet werden“ (Matthäus 10,22); und „Denn wir sind Genossen des Christus geworden, wenn wir anders den Anfang der Zuversicht bis zum Ende standhaft festhalten“ (Hebräer 3,14).

Questions and Responses

Question: I’ve been told by a Calvinist that if I’m not a Calvinist, then I’m an Arminian. As a Christian, do I have to be one or the other?

Question: Who is Jesus talking to in Matthew 7:22, 23? Nominal Christians? People who “think” they’re Christians? Born-again Christians who messed up?

Question: Does the Bible mean that we actually have eternal life now and will just enter into it when we die? Or does it teach that we don’t yet have eternal life, but we will obtain eternal life in the future?

Question: In Hebrews 6 it says, “if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance....” Doesn’t the word “again” mean that they had already fallen away and repented at least once...?

Question: I am confused by an ongoing debate between two brothers in my Bible study. The issue is the “eternal security” of the believer vs. the possibility that one could “fall away.” What is your perspective?

Question: The "Once Saved, Always Saved" issue is very controversial in many Christian circles, and there seem to be few resources on this issue. Could you please address this in a future issue of the Berean Call newsletter?

Question: Though I've read your excellent discussions on eternal security, I still need understanding of the following Scriptures....

Question: Sir, if today you die, are you 100 percent sure you would go to heaven? How can I, a Muslim, have that assurance?

Question: You said it is unbiblical to teach that salvation can be lost if one fails to live a good enough life. What about the story Jesus taught about forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-35?...It seems that God does require certain fruits from our lives....

Question: I read your “Q&A” on “eternal security” and I’m still left with this nagging question: Can an individual who made a confession of faith in Christ come to a place where he ceases to believe?
