I Have Every Reason to Doubt the Salvation of Anyone Who Says They're Saved But Continues in a Lifestyle of Disobedience
The prevalent heresy of salvation by works is also met by the prevalent heresy that one can get saved and still continue in a lifestyle of disobedience. The error that you can get saved and never change is also as dangerous as teaching one can be saved by one's good works. The Bible warns of many times that no one can be saved and still remain in the same state yet you've got heretics also teaching that garbage in the pulpits. Worse, many of them claim that they are born again Christians while evidence suggests otherwise.
You can go ahead and quote Ephesians 2:8-9 but let me ask did you read verse 10? Verse 10 says that God equips unto good works. Titus 2:11-14 says that grace of God delivers from a lifestyle of sin. What's even worse is that some people say that 1 Corinthians 6:11 proves it. What's even ironic is that some of these idiots even quote it from the King James Version. Did they read 1 Corinthians 6:11 from the KJV word for word or did they ignore it? If they read it, they will see that salvation delivers from a lifestyle of sin.
How can I be sure that salvation brings forth obedience? It's all about receiving Jesus Christ as one's Lord and Savior and not one without the other. Hebrews 5:9 declares that Jesus is the author of eternal salvation unto them that obey Him. John 8:47 declares that those who hear and obey not are not of God. John 10:27-28 shows that if you are saved then you will obey as a result. So why are people now teaching that you can be saved but always stay the same?
This is the warning of having carnal means to attract people to the Church. True salvation delivers one from a lifestyle of sin. It makes a mockery of why Jesus died for the sins of man. The death on the cross was to deliver people from the power of sin and not in their sin. It's stupidity to how people just want salvation without sanctification and a Savior who is not Lord. But if your Jesus is not Lord then you aren't eternally secure to start with.
