I have a question? If someone can loss their salvation, how does it happen? If a lost person is drawn by the Holy Spirit; through God's mercy realizes that he is a sinner before a Holy, Soverign, God; understands that there is a penalty for sin: death; repents of his sin; trusts in Jesus' substitionary attonment for salvation; and surrenders his life to Jesus, how can this person loose this salvation? If someone can lose their salvation doesn't this mean that they are more powerful than God?

In answer to your question, Scott, yes a Christian can be decieved. I honestly believe that there is deception in the minds of the people who believe that someone can loose salvation. By the way, the reason we can be deceived is because the part of us that gets saved is our spirit. That part of us that is dead when we are born, because of Adam. Our soul contains our mind, will, and emotions. That is the area that we battle our flesh and Satan on a daily basis. That is the area that can be decieved. Our spirit is sealed until the day of redemption. That's why Paul says that he sins with his body, but obeys God through the spirit.
