Was Solomon saved?

Why do people backslide from Christianity?

Answered by .

No it doesn’t. The Bible message is about individuals being responsible for their own choice and commitment to follow Christ (Luke 14:25-33; Galatians 2:19-20; Philippians 3:7-9).

Was anyone in the Bible saved but later lost their salvation?

Answered by . 1

Can you be saved through another person in the household?
