Once Saved Always Saved - NOT!
We posted a debate on "Once Saved Always Saved" (OSAS for short) a while back and I'm not sure it resolved the tension. Today, we put on our Berean hats and jumped back into the scriptures to determine the validity of this popular doctrine. We decided to be more direct in this podcast, flush out the appropriate and debated scriptures, put on our Berean hats and dissect the issue with scriptural clarity.
We also had to determine where this doctrine comes from. Knowing the history, and the "why" does help clarify why this doctrine has become so popular in the church. I think we should recognize that even these great theologians could sometimes get it wrong. If I had to nail it down in a single statement, we often see the church driving faith, instead of faith driving the church. In other words, the internal and external politics of the day and the social systems shaped doctrinal theology that might not always be supported with scripture.
