Do you believe in once saved always saved?

I'll give it a shot.

Yes, but one has to truly be saved. You must surrender your life to Jesus completely, once saved always saved. This is because Jesus died on the Cross one time, and he was perfect in this act. For instance, if you do not believe once saved always saved, then Jesus would have to continually die on the Cross and rise.

Problem with Christians today are these three things imo:
1. Think they are better than others.
We are worse than others, because we know what sin is and still fall daily.

2. They do not forgive for others for public sin, when they themselves may sin far more in private.
Such as, a man cheats on his wife once, asks forgiveness. Other men talk about how terrible he is while they go home, and look at porn and clear the history over and over again.

3. Christians these days are weak, not bold/courageous.
People call themselves Christian, when they literally do nothing in their life to reflect Christ. Also, we aren't showing the love Christ told us to do.

Tl:dr: Yes once truly saved always saved. As a Christian, I think we're doing a terrible job as a nation projecting Christ.
