Question
I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THIS GUY AND HE FROM DIFFERENT CHURCH THAN ME AND I JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BACKGROUND FROM HIS CHURCH HE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND I'M ASSEMBLY OF GOD. WHAT THE DIFF. AND I BEEN TOLD THAT CHURCH OF CHRIST BELIEVE ONCE SAVE ALWAYS SAVES IS THAT TRUE
Thankyou for your question
The Church of Christ does not believe that once saved always saved. Jesus had a parable about the seed (the word of God) and four separated instances where the cares of life can come in and take some away. Paul also spoke to Christians to "take heed unless ye fall" to remind them to be sober and vigilant for the Lord. People can not be saved and not grow in there Christianity. They must learn more about God, love, patience, temperance, longsuffering, forgiveness, or life could make them fall away. The devil walks around looking to devour (1 Pet. 5:8) and he want those who have turned their life over to the Lord in the worst way. One can be saved and let the cares of this life superseed the care for God. So, once saved always saved in not scripturally right and not a doctrine the Church of Christ believes in.
God Bless
