Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

I heard from a klown once, that the only way a Christian can lose his salvation, is if he asks a question without searching the forum first, to see if the question has already been discussed.

All kidding aside, this topic has been discussed a lot. Just try searching on the forum. :D

Sad that you received the "you ain't from around here, are ya boy?" response. A helpful bunch they weren't! :shakehead:

It was discussed here: http://discussions.godandscience.org/vi ... +salvation

It is possible... like it is possible a Christian is wrong to place their hope in Christ and we're still in our sins.

Actually, now that I've thought about it, No, A Christian cannot lose their salvation. "A Christian" is singular, and "their" is a possessive pronoun acting as an adjective, which you incorrectly used to describe a singular noun.

So the answer is NO. A Christian cannot lose their salvation. y:O2 8-}2

I didn't pay attention during grammar classes when I was a kid, so I don't understand what you wrote...but I agree! a born-of-the-Spirit Christian is not able to lose his Salvation no matter how hard he may try.
