In this insightful excerpt from the documentary "Once Saved Always Saved?", the speakers examine the significance of being "sealed with the Holy Spirit" as mentioned in Ephesians 1:13-14. While proponents of eternal security often point to this passage as proof of the impossibility of losing salvation, the video offers a different perspective. The speakers argue that the sealing of the Spirit is not a guarantee of eternal security, but rather a down payment or earnest – an assurance of our inheritance in Christ. Drawing from the cultural understanding of seals in the ancient world, the video highlights that seals could be broken, just as the Holy Spirit can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30) or resisted (Acts 7:51). The excerpt underscores the distinction between assurance and eternal security, emphasizing the Spirit's work in transforming our affections and enabling us to live for Christ as evidence of genuine salvation. Ultimately, the video challenges the notion of unconditional eternal security and calls for a biblical understanding of the Spirit's sealing as a powerful assurance of God's ongoing work in the lives of believers.
