Wow! That is some scary stuff right there. If this belief was accurate that would mean we could just go on sinning with no consequence! Yikes! A lot of people think about how sin affects them so they are comfortable to say, “Once Saved - Always Saved” and then the effects of those sins are never mentioned and definitely not thought of! So when we sin it not only affects our souls but it also has a ripple effect in God’s great design on other souls as well. My point is, “Once Saved - Always Saved” is just inaccurate. It falls short of everything Jesus taught us such as, “Go..your sins are forgiven…but sin no more”. Remember that one? Yes, the once saved always saved fits in nicely with Satan’s agenda. He has people running around thinking they are “covered”. Oh they’re covered all right…steeped in it. But I digress. Look it’s really simple. Salvation won on the cross doesn’t give us license to keep sinning and expect salvation! If we walk around thinking this we risk the loss of our soul. Remember the bible story of the bridegroom and the people who had no oil in their lamps? Remember they cried at the gate “Lord Lord” and then Jesus did not let them enter and He sent them away. Away! Lost Salvation! Thanks be to God for the sacrament of reconciliation and Eucharist. Thanks be to God.

Good points, Mary. Redemption was achieved on the Cross. Jesus through his death and resurrection redeemed the world and made salvation possible. But salvation depends on our Faith and actions here on Earth.
