本篇文章主要探討「一次得救永遠得救」的課題，文章有七部分：第一部分引言，第二部分希伯來書六章4至12節的解釋，第三部分從教義歷史看「一次得救永遠得救」的討論，第四部分從《多特信條》、《威斯敏斯特信條》看「一次得救永遠得救」的討論，第五部分「一次得救永遠得救」的迷思，第六部分「一次得救永遠得救」的正解，第七部分總結。

「一次得救，永遠得救」對那些堅持的基督徒來說沒有問題。問題是如何解釋那些背道者？我們可以說背道者從來沒有真信仰，不過背道者可能有真信仰卻在危難中退縮。「聖徒的堅忍」是一個重要的提醒，沒有人可以自誇。我們從人的角度沒有把握堅持到底；我們只有相信上帝的應許，靠着基督每天堅持信仰，直到見主面。

ABSTRACT

This aim of this article is to deal with the issue of “Once being saved ever being saved” which is a perplexing theological issue in Chinese context. This article is consisted of seven parts: (1) Introduction, (2) The interpretation of the Book of Hebrews 6:4-12, (3) The discussion on “Once being saved ever being saved” from History of Doctrine, (4) The discussion on “Once being saved ever being saved” from Canons of Dort and Westminster Confession of Faith, (5) The confusion of “Once being saved ever being saved”, (6) The correct understanding of “Once being saved ever being saved”, (7) Conclusion.

According to the Canons of Dort, the issue “Once being saved ever being saved” has two dimensions. Firstly, the Providence of God (conserve), secondly Perseverance of the Saints (perservo). For those who stands firm in his faith, he does not has problem of “Once being saved ever being saved”; but how to explain why those disloyal to their faith? We can say that those disloyal to their faith, have no true faith indeed, however they could have true faith but loss faith during danger. “Perseverance of the Saints” is a good reminder for us that no one can boast of himself. From human perspective we could not be sure to insist to the end, we could only have faith in God’s promise, insisting our faith in Christ, till we meet Christ Jesus again.
