Spiritual reincarnation

Some folks seem to believe in a “spiritual reincarnation” of sorts. They think that salvation is given, and taken easily, and that they need to “toe the line” to keep it. This is the ruse of Satan on the blood-bought children of God today. The Bible is very clear that “The gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom. 11:29), and the redemption of our souls is indeed a great gift. To assume that one could lose their salvation is to deny the one time sacrifice of Calvary; our fate was settled, once for all, at Calvary. It would take another sinless Son--another perfect lamb to redeem us again, just as it took the first time; this will not be done, because the one sacrifice is sufficient for taking away all our sin. Some believe we are saved over and over again, as if they are re-incarnated in the spirit.

Many believe that if they lose their salvation (which is impossible to do Phil. 1:6), all they would have to do to be saved again, is to apply 1 Jn 1:9. My friends, that is foolishness. That puts the obtaining of salvation, the “weight of the matter” on confession, and not on the atoning blood of Christ. If it takes the shedding of blood to forgive sin, (Heb. 9:22) then it must take that again to forgive more sin; furthermore, if the Lord sought us out “while we were yet sinners” (Rom. 5:8), how much worse could we be if we backslide? A sinner is a sinner. No, our sin does not hinder the Lord from saving us, neither do our good works do anything to redeem us. Don’t be fooled into accepting this “spiritual reincarnation” where you are born again, and again, and again, but accept the one-time sacrifice and walk in the assurance of the Word of God, and the faith in His saving power. Remember, you truly believe but one time; man cannot “un-believe” something he truly believes. He can get angry and rebellious, and refuse to admit it, but he cannot quit believing if he truly believed in the first place, and it is this faith, this believing, that leads to our salvation.
