Conditional Security Is A Calvinist Heresy (It Comes From Calvinism As Well As Catholicism)

 

Conditional security Catholic heretics love to claim that eternal security is Calvinism, this is one of their biggest lies. Conditional security actually lines up with the Calvinist heresy of perseverance of the saints.

"Since God has made satisfaction for the sins of the elect, they can no longer be condemned for them, and through the help of the Holy Spirit, they must necessarily persevere as Christians and in the end be saved."
-Wikipedia

What is this saying? It's saying that Christians have to endure in holiness in order to be saved, which is exactly what the conditional security heretics teach.

The Catholic conditional security heresy lines up perfectly with Calvinism, it takes glory away from the Lord Jesus and puts it all on the person who is trying to earth heaven through his self-righteousness.

7 Common Verses Twisted To Teach Conditional Security

NOTE: We are NOT Calvinists, Calvinism & Arminianism are equally false and heretical!

1.

Romans 11:21-22 - "For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."

The context of Romans 11:21-22 is talking about people going against the Jews, it's not talking about salvation. When it says "thou shalt be cut off" it's talking about a nation that goes against Israel being nationally cut off, it's not talking about salvation.

2.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

The kingdom of God is not heaven, the kingdom of God is spiritual fellowship with God (Rom. 14:17). When it says you will not inherit the kingdom of God, it's saying that these sins will get you out of fellowship with God. You can get out of fellowship with God, but it doesn't mean you lost your salvation.

3.

Galatians 5:19-21 - "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

Again, the kingdom of God is not heaven, the kingdom of God is spiritual fellowship with God (Rom. 14:17). Living according to the flesh will get you out of fellowship with God, but you don't lose your salvation. You get out of fellowship with God and God can't bless you and use you like he wants to. This has nothing to do with your salvation.

4.

Ephesians 5:5 - "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

Again, conditional security heretics have no clue of what the kingdom of God is, they think the kingdom of God is heaven. The kingdom of God is spiritual fellowship with God (Rom. 14:17), living according to the flesh gets you out of fellowship with God, but you don't lose your salvation.

5.

1 Corinthians 9:27 - "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."

When it talks about being a castaway, it's saying you can live according to the sinful flesh and ruin your life. You can lose spiritual joy, you can lose rewards at the judgement seat of Christ, and you could even lose your life if the flesh gets too out of control. It is not talking about salvation. SIMPLY READ THE CONTEXT INSTEAD OF RIPPING A VERSE OUT OF CONTEXT!

6.

1 Thessalonians 3:5 - "For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain."

Again, in context it's not talking about salvation, when Paul says the labour be in vain, he is saying that he doesn't want to waste his time if they will get messed up.

7.

Galatians 5:4 - "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."

The context of Galatians 5:4 is talking about the Galatians thinking that they are going back under the law, and Paul is simply telling them that if they were under the law than Christ died for nothing (See Gal. 2:21) and they are not under God's grace, this is NOT talking about salvation. Again, conditional security heretics have a habit of ripping scripture totally out of context to prove their Catholic-Calvinist heresy of conditional security.

Conditional security heretics have to twist scripture to prove the Catholic heresy of conditional security.

Eternal Security In The Gospel Of John

John 3:16-18 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

When Jesus Christ saves us, we will not perish, we are not condemned. We have everlasting life, that is given to us by God, not by our own righteousness or holiness.

John 4:14 - "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

We will never thirst if we drink the water that Jesus gives us (salvation).

John 5:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

According to Jesus, once we get saved, we will not come into condemnation, but according to conditional security heretics, we can lose our salvation and come into condemnation, which would make Jesus a liar.

John 6:35 - "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."

Jesus is the bread of life, he gives us salvation and once he saves us we will never hunger and never thirst in the sense that we won't lose our salvation. Again, conditional security heretics make Jesus Christ a liar.

John 6:39 - "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."

When Jesus saves us he won't lose us, salvation is completely given and controlled by Jesus, and not by our own holiness or self-righteousness.

John 10:28-29 - "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

When Jesus saves us, we will never perish and we can't be plucked out of the Father's hand. Conditional security heretics seem to think that we are better than God, and we can be plucked out of God's hand. Again, conditional security heretics make God a liar.

John 17:11-12 - "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

When Jesus saves us, he keeps us and none of us will be lost (Lines up with John 6:39).

The real issue with conditional security is that conditional security heretics deny that the blood of Jesus is enough to pay for our sins. Conditional security heretics make it seem like the blood of Jesus + our self-righteousness and holiness is required for salvation. Conditional security is nothing more than Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholics and conditional security heretics both deny that Jesus' blood is enough to cleanse us from sins, they both make salvation into a continual process of works and self-righteousness. Bible Believing Christians know that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is all that is needed to cleanse us from sins, understanding eternal security is simply understanding that GOD saves us, we don't save our selves or have to keep our selves saved by works or holiness. When God saves us, God keeps us saved.

The Eternal Security Of The Believer

The doctrine of eternal security is one of the most controversial doctrines in modern professing Christianity. The biblical doctrine of eternal security simply states that God saves us, we don't have to merit our salvation by holiness or righteousness, salvation is completely of God.

Jesus paid for price for all my sins on the cross (Acts 13:39, Titus 2:14, Colossians 2:13, 1 John 1:7) Christians are only righteous through Jesus Christ. If there is no eternal security, that would mean we would be saved by works because our salvation would depend on us having to do stuff to keep ourselves saved.

The Bible says that you can know that you are saved.

1 John 5:13 - "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

If salvation was dependant on us having to continually strive in holiness or having to do something to keep ourselves saved, you will never have the assurance of your salvation, you will never truly know if you are saved, you will constantly be questioning and wondering if you saved.

Scripture is clear that God is who gives us eternal life.

1 John 5:11 - "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."

God is who provides salvation, God is the author of our salvation. God saves us, we don't save ourselves by continuing in holiness. Without eternal security, that would mean that salvation is not completely of God because it depends on us and our own supposed righteousness.

Scriptures that prove eternal security:

An important thing to note is that a common theme in these verses is that God is the one giving us eternal life, God controls our salvation, God paid for our sins and he keeps us saved. Salvation is completely of God, and not of our own holiness or righteousness.

John 5:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

John 6:35 - "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."

John 6:39 - "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."

John 10:28-29 - "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

John 17:11-12 - "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

Romans 8:35-39 - "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1 Corinthians 1:7-8 - "So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 - "Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."

Ephesians 1:12-13 - "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"

Ephesians 4:30 - "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

2 Timothy 4:18 - "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

1 Peter 1:3-5 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

Salvation is all of Christ, we are wretched sinners in the eyes of God, we are so dirty, God had to send his Son to die on the cross to pay for our sins. Jesus paid it all, and he keeps us saved.
