They are godless men, who change the grace of God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign Lord and God. Someone who claims to be saved, yet lives a life of continual, habitual sin is like the person Paul warned Jude about in Jude 4. The condition to our security is that we must truly be saved. The Bible does not teach unconditional security. Jesus said, No one can snatch them out of my hand (John 10:28). Rather, it teaches security in a person, Jesus Christ. The Bible does not teach security in a place called Heaven, (one third of the angels fell from Heaven). The Bible teaches that once a person is truly saved they are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. Only through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation that was made possible by His death and resurrection, can that alienation be removed.
That man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. In the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of the new birth in unbelievers and indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives. In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory. That the Bible is God's written revelation to man, and that it is verbally inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts. There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
