Clarification: Eternal Security harmonized with Removed from the Book of Life
I need to confirm that when we are saved, truly saved and belong to Christ we can NOT lose our salvation. Eternal Security is solid doctrine in multiple scriptures in the Dispensation of GRACE - Ephesians 4:30 and Romans 8:38,39 KJV and spoken directly by Jesus Christ in the Kingdom dispensation in John 10:28 KJV. This is why a good soldier for Christ understands the HELMET of Salvation is in knowing (the spirit knows) and understanding (the mind understands) that we are secure in our salvation to block the attacks of the enemy which comes in thoughts. John Bunyan- author of Pilgrims Progress ' a great study in Faith vs Works based Salvation who wrote during his imprisonment for teaching eternal security: "The greatest mall (battle hammer) used by Satan is getting a Christian to question their salvation. Paul writes, "examine yourselves whether you be in faith (living in faith of what was accomplished on the cross for you is eternal) how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates." 2 Corinthians 13:5KJV - See Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV.
The blotting out names from the book of life in Psalm 69, This is harmonized perfectly with Hebrews 10:26 which require works plus faith and was required in the Kingdom Dispensation for the Jews and will be required during the Tribulation for the Tribulation Saints. To wit: Trib saints will lose their salvation if they receive the mark of the Beast.
Note in Revelation 3:15 KJV names of those in early church who are saved can NOT have their names removed from book of Life.
Thank you, brother, for affirming that true Christians cannot lose their salvation; I know that we have discussed this before, but it is incredibly important. Pardon me if I have already referred you to this post I wrote in 2020: https://keithpetersenblog.com/2020/06/24/is-it-possible-to-lose-your-salvation/
