“Missing The Spirit”

Thursday, July 13, 2017

Will the Holy Spirit of God ever leave a born-again christian?  I have read several people saying ‘yes’ and several people saying ‘no’.

Sincerely,
Yea Or Nay?

Dear Yea Or Nay,

The Holy Spirit no longer abides with us when we fall away.  It is possible for a christian to lose their salvation.  Heb 2:1-3 says we can “drift” away from the truth and “neglect” our salvation.  If after becoming christians we return to a willful life of sin, we will lose our salvation (Heb 10:26-27).  Heb 6:4-6 points out that returning to a sinful life is an act of rebellion that re-crucifies Christ.  Yes, a christian can fall away.
