Are we saved just one time? Is it an ongoing process?
Can you give your salvation back? Or lose it? Or do you, as Timothy states..."Wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith."
I think that with many Christians here, we part company on these very tough teachings.

"Once saved, always saved" is a hot topic in our house and group of friends.
Take me for instance ... I accepted Christ, got saved and now I am no longer a Christian. Am I still saved? Will I go to Heaven based on Christianity's teachings? I believe "no" because I turned my back on Christianity and no longer follow the tenets of the religion. BUT based on the thinking of "once saved, always saved" the answer would be "yes".
Is that what you were asking or did I misunderstand the question?Found an answer to your question?

Salvation is a one time, once and for all event. Sanctification is a life long process.
I think that a person can turn their back on their salvation by way of the sin of blasphemy.Found an answer to your question?

Only blasphemy? How about despair, losing faith in God's ability to keep you?

There's also the side that believes if you don't live a Christian life or stop believing, you weren't truly saved in the first place.
I don't have an opinion on this. There's scripture that supports both,Found an answer to your question?
