,,Critics of the “once saved, always saved” doctrine claim that it gives Christians a license to sin. They presume that those who believe in eternal security intend to accept salvation, and then continue to willingly sin. This is inaccurate, because anyone who has been truly saved is a new creature , has the conviction of the Holy Spirit and now wants to live for Christ. Someone who continues to willingly and blatantly live in sin has not truly accepted Chris. While this false belief may be held by some, it is not a part of the teachings of any true Christian church.
A person who willingly, humbly, repents of sin and turns towards the cross, trusting Christ as their Savior, will be saved.That salvation is once and for all, eternal, and secure. Those who truly trust in Christ are saved once, and saved always."
