Can I Lose My “Ticket to Heaven”?
We should not see salvation as a single event, John Coblentz says, but as God’s ongoing work. Focusing on a time when we “made a decision” or “went forward” in response to an invitation or “prayed the sinners prayer” can trouble believers who should have assurance and confidence while giving false assurance to those not walking with Jesus. John discusses union with Christ and the Spirit as a stamp and a guarantee of our inheritance.
