What God secures – You cannot “lose”
That is because
God’s grace is bigger than all of our sins.
Reference: Ephesians 2:8-9
That is because
His Salvation is guaranteed by God Almighty Himself. Now THAT is sure!
Reference: Romans 8:28-39
That is because
His Forgiveness is an act of God, not an act of mere puny humans.
Reference: John 3:16-18
That is because
He holds us securely in His salvation, and promised that none would be lost. Never lost again!
Reference: John 10:28
That is because
God cannot lie. His promises are true and reliable.
Reference: Hebrews 6:18
An anchor of the soul
18 so that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge would have strong encouragement and indwelling strength to hold tightly to the hope set before us.
19 This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells]
– Hebrews 6:17-20…Verses 18-19 of
12 …I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until [a]that day [when I stand before Him].
– 2 Timothy 1:12
38 …For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
– Romans 8:28-39

Excerpt: How can we be certain that Paul was not speaking to believers who had lost their salvation? Notice the contrast between “you” and “we” in the passage:
4 You have been severed from Christ,
you who are seeking to be justified
by the Law;
you have fallen from grace.
5 For we,
through the Spirit,
by faith, are waiting
for the hope of righteousness.

Why might many Charismatics not be saved? Excerpt: Why might many, many charismatics not be saved? You? Let’s look at some reasons, with a focus on what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23:
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’
23 And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’
