False teachers are using Facebook and other forums for teaching to promote a dangerous doctrine – one that not only has no scriptural support, but which is contradicted by numerous clear Bible teachings. Read the Scriptures that contain the following words: obey, obeyed, obeyeth, obedience, do, doeth, keep and keepeth. If necessary, adjust your thinking and teaching accordingly. And don't be tempted to reject these teaching and cling to a few passages that false teachers have interpreted in a way that has God's word contradicting itself. [These passages make it clear that OSAS (once saved always saved) is also a false teaching.]
