New Christian here (as of March of this year). Have joined and regularly attend (even the last three Sundays during bow season and very good hometown Southern Baptist church (Ebeneezer Baptist here in Cordele).
I just go through with a new discipleship class and now am attending a Basics for Baptists type class. Great class as I have always wondered about the differences between Christian religions.
One thing that has puzzled me is this:
How can a man lose his salvation once he has accepted Jesus as his personal lord and savior?
I know some Christian religions think you can do this (Methodist and some of the Pentacostal maybe?).
I find it hard to believe that a man can "undo" anything that God has given you. Also, that also sounds like a more "cruel" God to allow something like that to be an option. Also, you are born into a new creation when you accept Jesus, how can you lose that and be reborn again?.
I find plenty of scripture about salvation through Jesus, but none about losing it. Also, if you lose it, how do you get it back (since you have already accepted Jesus)?.
I am very confident in my faith and the Baptist religion. Just wanted some other opinions on my question.
Thanks in advance.
