Topical Search to prep a response - Topic would be Once Saved Always Saved

GmaJo · 2024-12-19T19:27:46+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am having trouble in Logos 10 searching for all verses related to this topic "Once Saved Always Saved". I would like to prepare a study/response to someone who does not believe this and would like all the verses for/against that are related to this topic so I may properly vet the question and have a bible answer (or vet, for myself, the content creators that speak about it)? Every search box/engine, including guides under topic, will not bring up the related verses. Anyone available to please help walk me through this? Thanks so much GmaJo (Grandma Jo)

You started a second duplicate thread saying you were getting no results … which makes no sense:

Open Factbook
In the navigation box at the top enter "The Persistence of Salvation" without the quotation marks.
The Key Passages should be the same as what I copied above.
The bottom section "Dig Deeper" under Guides offers you both a topic guide and the theology guide
The Theology Guide provides this list of verse:

Theology Guide | The Permanence of Salvation › Theologically Related Passages

Key Verses
John 3:16
Ephesians 1:13–14
1 Peter 1:3–5
1 Corinthians 15:1–2
Romans 8:28–32
Romans 8:35–39
Hebrews 6:4–8
John 10:27–28
2 Timothy 2:11–13
Ezekiel 18:20–24
1 John 5:11–13
2 Peter 2:1
2 Peter 2:20–22

I'm suspecting that a bug in the Topic guide results in no verses there.

From the lists I've copied for you, you can use cross-references to find related texts.

Do you have a subscription and smart search? If so select to search books and type in once saved always saved and you will get a synopsis with footnotes to articles in your library. I personally think this is the best way to start this study.

From the Survey of Systematic Theology, I get the topic "The Permanence of Salvation". I would start by using this topic in Factbook and in the Theological guide. Whether or not the latter is helpful will depend on your library but Factbook starts you off with these passages:

Factbook | The Permanence of Salvation › Key Passages

Ezekiel 18:20–24
John 3:16
John 10:27–28
Romans 8:28–32
Romans 8:35–39
1 Corinthians 15:1–2
Ephesians 1:13–14
2 Timothy 2:11–13
Hebrews 6:4–8
Hebrews 10:26–31
1 Peter 1:3–5
2 Peter 2:1
2 Peter 2:20–22
1 John 5:11–13
