-Learn to be content -Materialism is bad -Lay up treasures in heaven -Being a good person is not enough -A good person will go to heaven is the most common belief in America. -Repentance should be very big part of our life.

We have a starting point and we have an ending point.

Is it possible to step off the road to heaven and lose your way?

Background of this teaching o Originated in the mid- 1500’s by John Calvin. o “Once persons are truly born of God or regenerated, nothing in heaven or earth shall be able to separate them from the love of God.” o Also associated with the teaching of “predestination.”

o Born July 10, 1509 o Theologian, Journalist, Official o Executed 58 people o Did not believe in instrumental music

Be careful what you teach and what you believe 2 Peter 2:1 False teachers are real 2 Peter 3:16 Twisting the scripture 1 Timothy 4: 1 Deceiving doctrines Galatians 1:6-9 A different gospel

Look at Genesis 3:1-4 Satan will tell us a bold face lie. Satan will tell us a bold face lie.  Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the L ORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”  And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”  Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

Looking at what others believe Sam Morris, a Baptist preacher in Stamford, Texas wrote a little tract explaining that all the sins one may commit cannot harm the soul or cause the person to be lost. Look at the quote : “We take the position that a Christian's sins do not damn his soul. The way a Christian lives, what he says, his character, his conduct, or his attitude toward other people have nothing whatever to do with the salvation of his soul... All the prayers a man may pray, all the Bibles he may read, all the churches he may belong to, all the services he may attend, all the sermons he may practice, all the debts he may pay, all the or-dinances he may observe, all the laws he may keep, all the benevolent acts he may per-form will not make his soul one whit safer; and all the sins he may commit from idolatry to murder will not make his soul in any more danger... The way a man lives has nothing whatever to do with the salvation of his soul... The way I live has nothing whatsoever to do with the salvation of my soul" [Do a Christian’s Sins Damn His Soul?].

Looking at what others believe The Arminian/Wesleyan/Holiness tradition, and the Assemblies of God that grew out of it, have both historically rejected the belief in eternal security. The official AG Web site states, “The Assemblies of God has taken a stand against the teaching that God’s sovereign will completely overrides man’s free will to accept and serve Him. In view of this we believe it is possible for a person once saved to turn from God and be lost again.” (Enrichment Journal- Assemblies of God)

Looking at what others believe During one Sunday School hour this topic came up and I want to give the class scriptural reference why the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ does not subscribe to this creed. This doctrine can be damnable, by giving one a sense of false hope while living a sinful life. One must keep their vessel holy in order to make the rapture (I Thess. 4:7). Believers must continue in holiness and mortify the deeds of the flesh daily (Gal. 5:24). Believers can not practice sin (I Jo. 3:4-8); this is living the life of the old man and expect to be saved (Ro. 6:1-2). Believers are saved by faith through the grace of God and are to work out their own salvation. ( Apostolic Oneness Pentecostals)

Looking at what others believe “...we believe it is possible for a person once saved to turn from God and be lost again…” (United Pentecostal Churches)

Looking at what others believe Conclusion Some religious groups have openly called “once saved always saved” a false teaching.

Looking at what others believe The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter XIX, “ Of The Perseverance of the Saints,” claims: “They whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved” [pgs. 102, 103]. The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter XIX, “ Of The Perseverance of the Saints,” claims: “They whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved” [pgs. 102, 103].
