People who get to the point of being within a hair’s breadth of losing salvation will know soon that something is horribly wrong . Worse for those who really lose it all the way . Losing Holy Spirit will bring a Saint to a loss of status and the exact point of Hebrews 10: 27 – 28 . I want to point out that in my own situation, the real trauma happened after I read up on scripture and realized what I had done . There followed months of horrific spiritual and emotional distress . I had no assurance whatsoever that I would be restored . And yet, by the grace of God , it happened . I had left God only the most minimal room to restore me . I am still convinced over a year later that if I had died during this time, I would be in hell . The following are some pointers that helped me in restoring salvation : Continue reading “Restoring Salvation : Aid for the Near Loss of Salvation”
Unforgiveness and Blaspheming the Holy Spirit Beyond the Grave
I crossed the line with God, with one foot only . I learned things in that place . This vessel marred upon the Potter’s wheel , now re – formed to another purpose . I know how the enemy destroys the salvation of the Christian . And the Holy Spirit is still talking . Brothers and Sisters , let’s have a little fire – side chat . I would like to get more detailed about exactly what the sin of willing , overt , unrepentant unforgiveness will do to a christian if carried beyond the grave . But remember, God certainly knows the faithfully struggling saint , struggling in good faith to obey against inhuman things they have suffered, making faithful progress , without being super human themselves . He is not out to ” get us .”

A Quick Proof that Losing Salvation is Possible
UPDATED ONCE MORE !
For those Christians who believe that losing salvation is impossible , consider this : If a Christian cannot use their free will to quit their faith , then remaining a Christian is compulsory upon conversion . The free will would cease to exist . If that is so, then how can one be accountable for any sin ? There are even Christians who believe that they can no longer really sin . They point to the following scripture :

Willful Unforgiveness: Rapture Killer For Some
Shortly after writing the post on Losing Salvation by Deadly Unforgiveness , I had occasion to ponder more deeply some aspects of that writing . Guess who showed up ? Holy Spirit . Driving home from work on April 4th , I had a time with Him right in the car . Much as when pondering the three dreams that He gave me about losing salvation – also when driving ! – He again confirmed with His Presence when I thought in the right direction . And it could not have been more timely ! For this insight involves what can keep a saint on the ground at the rapture ! At the moment that you leave your earthly body, the condition of your heart is very important, for you have then sealed your testimony !

The Irrelevance of Common OSAS Rationales
UPDATED !
Today I continue the contrast of OSAS / Once Saved, Always Saved / eternal security with the scriptural truth of Conditional Security dependent upon responsible exercise of free will . This post likely to be expanded and refined, perhaps with a ” Part Two . ”
We begin with 1 Peter 2 : 1 – 5 :
The Living Stone and the Holy Nation
” Therefore put away all wickedness, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking. 2 As newborn babies, desire the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow, 3 if it is true that you have experienced that the Lord is good.
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone who is rejected by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. “
—————————————————————————————————————————————
I was an ignorant and offended , double – minded type of living stone . Four months of horror with one leg thrown over the figurative rim of hell fixed all of that for me ! And it gave me the motivation to protect my brothers and sisters , preserve my Father’s children , and dig in scripture as never before , keen to pick up on what God was showing me … that common OSAS rationales simply do not address the issue of Hamartiology – study of sin – that accounts for Saints losing salvation . Hard to know for living stones that keep skimming the surface of the Word ; or those motivated NOT to see ; deceived by false doctrine, inattentive , un – circumspect or not balancing the whole counsel of God.

When Satan Comes to You with O.S.A.S.
Satan quotes some scripture , too .
The perilous times we live in include the peril of satanic attack via the misuse of the Word of God . The selective , short – sampling of scripture can defeat proper circumspection and proper balance of the whole counsel of God . Satan uses this type of attack to contribute vastly to the Great Falling Away . Earlier this week , I was at church , and Pastor was preaching straightness from Matthew 4 . And Holy Spirit was surfing on the message right then, more than Pastor knew at the time … Continue reading “When Satan Comes to You with O.S.A.S.”
Clarity on Suicide from the Original Suicide
Suicide is increasing . And from the demonic perspective , it is the ultimate act of vandalism upon humans . There is little doubt that as the times get darker and evil increases on earth , that suicide increases as well . Whether done quickly , or over a whole lifetime , suicide origins and ideations are demonic and one must not take ownership of this mindset or impulse . How can we get clarity on suicide ? By looking at the original suicide ! The day that Lucifer decapitated himself !
You see , Lucifer seized HEADSHIP over his own life and being , and in doing so , his actions said ” I am God over myself ! ” He willfully and from the heart cut off God as his proper Headship . For , in the last analysis , willful , deliberate suicide is a LIE !

Delivering Devotional Dynamite : He Re-Capitates the Decapitated
Did you ever consider that every human being you have seen has been decapitated ? It’s true . We were all cut off from our proper spiritual headship in Adam and Eve ! For there is more than one perspective on headship , capitation , and decapitation ! And then there is what Jesus does for saints : to restore the proper headship of God to us ! You could even say that …
Jesus Recapitates the Decapitated !

OSAS Train Wreck on a Popular Rapture Website
Recently, there have been a couple posts at a popular rapture website that show the degree of OSAS blindness and deafness to the circumspect, balanced view of the word . This is a doctrinal train wreck that imperils vulnerable saints . My comments are highlighted in brackets . God, please shield and protect my vulnerable brothers and sisters from the evil one in Jesus’ name I pray … for the devil certainly does not fight fair .

Defense Against Losing Salvation: Deploying Devotional Dynamite
The peril of potential loss of salvation involves a battle for the mind . Education is an important countermeasure , to learn the truth of the Word and the Mind of Christ , as well as to expose false doctrine and outright lies of Satan . But for the offended saint , double – minded , wounded and resentful of life and perhaps of God Himself, it is crucial to appreciate the richness of the salvation transaction at a devotional depth that compels one’s free will to choose fidelity towards Christ . Time for a devotional upgrade !
