Colossians 1:22,23. The stipulation is IF YOU CONTINUE IN THE FAITH then will you be presented Holy, unblameable, unreproveable in his sight. Even John 3:16 says "should not perish " free will is the determining factor here. God does not turn us into robots apon conversion, we still choose to continue in the faith or not.

The Doctrine of Eternal Security is Biblical. For no one can be Born Again more than once in his/her lifetime.If the believer can lose his/her salvation upon committing a sin, then he/she must need be Born Again for the second time. This process must necessarily be REPEATED over and over until death. What would happen to the Christian who did NOT manage to get Born Again for the last time who died UNEXPECTEDLY in a motor accident? Will he/she be in Hell because he/she did not have the opportunity of getting Born Again just prior to his/her death??
