    Where in the Bible does say that We must be born again and again and again. Does it not say Once saved always saved, and what about the verse where Jesus says, no Man can pluck You out of My hand. In Roman's it says Who so ever SHALL call upon the Name of Jesus SHALL be saved, not again and again and again, etc.

    The Bible doesn't say "once saved always saved" but it is an eternal salvation which is given freely and we are sealed and secure in Christ, Eph.1:13, 2Cor. 1:21 if we have truly trusted him for it. Good verse you referenced. Thanks and God Bless.

    Acts3:19 may help you understand why we repent daily, just a thought could keep you from enter the kingdom , it's not being born again over and over again it's repenting God Bless you always peace be with you also Matthew 3:8

    Acts 3:19 and Matthew 3:8 is talking about true repentance which is turning from sin to God. I don't follow after sin now but being in the flesh I am surely not sinless. My salvation is secure in Christ but my peace and joy come from keeping sin confessed and seeking the Lord for grace to overcome. Sin is no longer imputed to me as a child of God. Romans 4:2-8. God chastens us in mercy when we sin

    The once saved, always saved doctrine is not supported by scripture. If Paul had to die daily, then who are we, that God would save us and expect nothing on our part? Paul said he was concerned that after he preached to others, he himself would also be a cast away. If Paul was concerned about being cast away, we certainly know that God expects something from us. The Bible says we are servants to whom we yield our members to obey. If we constantly sin, we are a servant of sin. Christ died to save us from our sins, not in our sins. There is much scripture that refutes this frightening once saved doctrine. No need for a Bible if living right was unnecessary.

    The book of Acts is a transition from the old to the new. Did you not understand vs. 13 telling us we are sealed by the Spirit? 2Cor. 1: 21-22 telling us again of the sealing. How do you know you are saved for eternity if an evil thought could keep you out of heaven. When I trusted Christ to save me it was a permanent thing. A new creature in Christ. Salvation is of the Lord. God Bless you.

    I know We have to repent and ask for God's forgiveness every day, because we are not perfect, We are just simply sinners saved by Grace. When We sin, We don't lose Our Salvation, We lose Our relationship with the Lord, when We pray and ask for forgiveness God says He will forgive and forget Our sins in the sea of His forgetfulness. No one can live a perfect life, because we are human.

    as long as we live under God's ways and not our own, people can backslide, or truly not except Christ,for he who fills us with the spirit, knows this life is temporary, no evil can prevail when we are in Christ. Amen! many blessing to you always peace be with you.

    God Bless you to, and I understand what you are saying but if you read 1 John 1-10, not one is perfect, we deceive ourselves if we think we haven't sinned , Jesus said to repent, even in revelations it tells you repent for you know not when your time will end, I would repent daily

    If a man thinks he can be lost after salvation and is taught to depend on his own works of righteousness he will try instead of trust and will surely fail. Salvation produces good works because we have been born of God. You will never have enough good works to merit salvation.
  • Vanessa - In Reply on Ephesians 1 - 4 years ago
    Lord how should we pray they asked him Luke 11:1-4 God bless, peace be with you
  • Doug Puckett - In Reply on Ephesians 1 - 4 years ago
    Repentance is a ongoing thing in the Christian life as we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 1: 5-10 Thank you and God bless.
