Thread: "Once save, Always saved"? Hmm...

I remember hearing somewhere that the only way you absolutely can't go to heaven is if you deny the existence of the holy spirit or some such nonsense.

As an attempting practicer of Buddhism I have to remind myself of buddhist law weekly in order to make sure the ideas remain systemized. So a ccording to those ideas, I think church attending born agains probably much more pious. But then again I don't really believe one can be Saved just by realizing a higher power than themselves. Being saved is letting go of hateful behavior

What I think the biblical Authors were saying about acceptance is that it equals belief so as long as you are a believer no sin that you can commit will keep you from being saved.

Do not Catholics believe that if you accept God and Jesus right before you die, no matter what atrocities you have committed in live, you will be saved?

Technicalities on your different beliefs of what it takes to be "saved" which is another term for whatever it takes to gain access to a plentiful life after death.

I've heard that many a time that once saved, always saved... I was baptised when I was a baby, and I was "saved" years ago.

So now I can be Agnostic and still loophole my way through Christianity just in the offchance that it is true? Sweet. Reigions really need to think these things over if they want to maximize power and profit. And I'm sure you want to do that don't you Mr. Christianity? I thought so. Like you don't have enough already.
