How A Christian Can Lose Salvation

How A Christian Can Lose Salvation
Is it possible to lose your salvation?
 
That was the question a guy from a choir I once was a part closed his facebook post with. He had just told the story of a professional pastor, who after 40 years of been a Christian, denounced Christianity.

What Happens When Christians Think God Is Not Good…Again

This post is a continuation of an earlier post. You can read the first post here.
