OSAS, the Poll

To assure salvation you need to go forward one time in your
life and shake the preacher's hand and you are saved.

Romans 10:9-10 (KJV1611 Edition):

That if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saued.
10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnesse, and with the mouth confession is made vnto saluation.

See there for more details and opinions about this matter.

 

I'm surprised the vote is so close.
The statement people are 'yes'ing is false

The statement:

//To assure salvation you need to go forward
one time in your life and shake the preacher's hand
and you are saved.//

says little about salvation. This isn't salvation,
this is easy believeism.

This says nothing about the author of salvation: God Almighty.

This statement says nothing about the OWNER of my salvation
which is NOT me but is God.

Rev 7:10 (KJV1611 Edition):
And cryed with a loude voice, saying,
Saluation to our God, which sitteth
vpon the Throne, and vnto the Lambe.

Here, a modern version is easier to understand:

Revelation 7:10 (HCSB = The Holman Christian Standard Bible):
And they cried out in a loud voice:
Salvation belongs to our God,
who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!

 

Amen, Sister I Am Blessed 16 !

Right on!!

 

The untruth in the statement is an error
filled misunderstanding of what Romans 10:9
says. Of course, the scripture is correct,
but some misunderstand it. I am exposing
that misunderstanding.

OSAS is the most dangerous belief there can be. Most people in churches today believe that all they need to to do to assure salvation is to go forward one time in their lives and shake the preacher's hand and they are saved. Nothing could be further from the truth. Given, salvation is by grace freely given but we are told that we "must be born again." That means changed completely. The Bible also says that we must "work out our salvation with fear and trembling" and that we must "take up our cross" and follow Him. None of this is compatible with the "cheap grace" being peddled today in most churches.

StraightAndNarrow,

That's true.

This poll was made to convince others that "most people in churches
today" do NOT believe in 'cheap grace'.

As far as i am concerned OSAS = once saved, always saved is God's truth
and is not 'cheap grace'. OSAS cost the life of God's only begotten
Son, Messiah Jesus. How could it have cost more?

On another board, they used to have a poll like "Please vote yes".
Usually 6 to 8% of the votes would be 'no'. So that may be the factor
working here. Plus, there are folks about who actually believe the
majority of people believe this foolish notion.

 

Blackbird: "Your statement is about as false---but Romans 10:9-10 is true!!"

Rat poison is made of like 1.5% poison
and 98.5% real neat food for rats.
A bad apple ruins the whole barrel.

The correct answer is "No, the Bible specifies more to Salvation"

 

Here is the new, non tricky poll:

Here is the new improved version of the poll.
The correct answer for all sorts of Baptists and for
95%+ protestants is "NO":
