ETERNAL SECURITY AND ASSURANCE

​

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved and living a life In Christ, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. To live In Christ does not include the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to please the fleshly desires. Grace is a display of God’s sovereign goodness and those who are sanctified by the Holy Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impairing God’s grace and blessings; and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith into salvation.
