Once Saved, Always Saved advocates always talk about how all the saints sin everyday in thought, word, and deed. They are considered no different than the average unsaved sinner.“Now unto him that is ABLE to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory…”
It is interesting
they would have us believe that God will ”infallibly” present them “faultless” while they deny God can keep them from “falling” now!
Note it says God is “ABLE.” Where does it say God will infallibly do this? The context is that God is ABLE but on the condition of our willingness to continue in Him. Verse 21 says,
The condition is that we “keep ourselves in the love of God,” thus He is ABLE to “keep us from falling” and is ABLE to present us “faultless” in the presence of His glory.“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Why is it God is unable to keep them from falling in their daily walk now since they claim to sin every single day in thought, word, and deed, but yet they trust He will present them faultless in the future? If God fails now, how can you trust Him to keep you later? How can you be sure since you fail everyday?
It is twisting Scripture to change the statement that God is “ABLE,” based upon conditions, to “God WILL unconditionally present us faultless.”
