Once Saved, Always Saved (2 of 6)
Series: Burning Questions
Jeff Schreve
John 10:27-29
If you have your Bible, we'll start in John chapter 5, but we're going to be all over the place. This is a topical message. We started a series last week for the summer titled, "Burning Questions." And we're looking at questions that people have concerning God, concerning Jesus and the Christian life and how to live the Christian life. I asked the staff about questions. And ask you if you have a burning question, go ahead and email me and let me know and we'll see. We may put it into a sermon.
Here's the question that Mike Beck said that he feels like a lot of people have. It has to do with the doctrine, once saved always saved. So, I've entitled the message, "Once Saved, Always Saved: Fact or Fiction?"

Now, if you've been in a Baptist church for any time at all, you know that that's one of the things that people say about Baptists, "Well, you Baptists believe that once you're saved, you're always saved." And that's a Baptist doctrine. Well, we don't need to have any Baptist doctrines. Who cares about Baptist doctrines? We need to have Bible doctrines. And if the Bible says it and teaches it, then we say, "Well, we believe that because it's in the Bible." You know, you say, "Well, what do the Methodists think? What do the Presbyterians think? What do the Episcopalians think?" Who cares? It always goes back to the Word of God. What does the Word of God say? Hopefully in our Southern Baptist churches, that's how we do things as we just look at what does the Bible say. So, we want to look at that question, and that burning question: Once saved always saved, is that really ...
