Nobody has any verse that says that a believer can lose salvation. The 2 words lose & salvation are not ever even found in 1 verse in my Bible.

Gary, continuing in faith is pretty self-explanatory - you continue believing in Christ. And the law *requiring* faith from us excludes any valid reason for...
A great place to start is with Jesus. Try reading the book of John or Luke in the New Testament. These books introduce you to who Jesus is, what he said,...
I believe that the first thing that needs to be established is, who are the elect? May I draw your attention to Romans chapter 9. In Romans 9:6-13: it is...
