1689 Confession Perseverance of the Saints

Often in Baptist churches, we hear the terminology “once saved, always saved,” which is theologically accurate. Nevertheless, the application of this “mantra” has been abused or distorted to mean that everyone who makes a profession of faith has genuine possession of saving faith. There is a difference between those who “PROFESS” faith in Christ and those who truly “POSSESS” faith in Christ. The Bible teaches that true believers can sometimes temporarily fall away, but their faith does not completely or permanently fail. What is the doctrine of eternal security? How does God sustain us to the end? Dr. Sean Cole teaches from the 1689 Confession on the Perseverance of the Saints.
