'Once Saved, Always Saved' Really Means 'Once Sinners, Always Sinners!' - Ministry Videos

The phrase "Once Saved, Always Saved" is not used to denote God's keeping grace and the believer continuing in holiness, rather it is used as an excuse for continuing on in sin. With OSAS (Once Saved, Always Saved) men feel they have free reign to live as they wish and ignore the Lord's will for their lives. OSAS really just means "Once Sinners, Always Sinners" in its normal usage. It is used by people that do not have saving grace in their lives and who want to excuse their lifestyles that are contrary to that of the true elect. Many OSAS advocates rebelliously proclaim themselves to be sinners still, thus they testify to the fact that they are not true believers, for the Scripture says, "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:18).
