OSAS Heresy
No. When we are reconciled (Col 1:19-22), this is an
unalterable change in status from sinner to saint. This happens when we receive
Christ as savior.

Once Saved Always Saved?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Godrulz will gladly proof text it showing you to hang or perish."
I disagree with Godrulz on this OSAS and I think I
still disagree with him on man's sin nature (Ge
5:3;
Job 15:14;
25:4;
Ps 51:5). You are not
satisfied that he is a Christian?
It seems to me that Satan would have us continually questioning our salvation
for his own purposes.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "OSAS is usually associated with Calvinism. Arminians and most Open Theists (which Nick claims to be) are not OSAS on biblical/logical grounds."
I reject Calvinism and Armenianism but
do believe OSAS [why saved person cannot be lost].
"...[Y]our antinomian view should not be extolled."
Strawman.
I'm pro Bible church (1
Cor. 11:27)/anti apostate church/es (1
Jn 2:19).
"Fundamental Doctrines Come from Scripture...[i]f a doctrine is truly
fundamental, it must have its origin in Scripture—not tradition, papal decrees,
or some other source of authority. Paul reminded Timothy that the Scriptures are
“able to make thee wise unto salvation” (2
Tim. 3:15, KJV). In other words, if a doctrine
is essential for salvation, we can learn it from the Bible. The written Word of
God therefore must contain all doctrine that is truly fundamental. It is able to
make us “adequate, equipped for every good work” (2
Tim. 3:17). If there were necessary doctrines
not revealed in Scripture, those promises would ring empty..."
Fundamental Doctrine, Says Who? by John MacArthur
We differ on OSAS.
I am more concerned with your view on the nature of man (a sinner [Ge
5:3;
Job 15:14;
25:4;
Ps 51:5]) and the nature
of God (holy [2
Co 5:21;
Heb 4:15;
7:26;
1 Jn 3:5]). Who is Jesus'
father. If he was/is sinless, why is that? Explain how he differs from men born
of Adam.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Salvation from what?"
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "I am saved."
What do you believe about Jesus? Is Jesus the preeminent Son of God? Ps. 2:7; Heb. 1:5; born of a virgin (Lk 1:31–35), the second person of the trinity (Matt. 28:19), the promised king (Ps. 89:26, 27), from a priestly and royal line (Heb. 1:8; Heb. 5:5, 6)?
Do you believe he is perfect in his nature and character? Ro 1:23. Did he die for his own sin or the sins of the world? Is. 53:4–6; 1 Pet. 2:24. Could he have sinned? Was/is Jesus a mere divine man or was/is he God himself in human form?
