 "....The dog is turned to his own vomit again;..." 2Pet 2:22

Here is biblical evidence of conditional salvation. Peter in the last few verses of this chapter makes it clear, that one who has been enlightened through Jesus, can in fact return to the spiritual pollution of the sins he was delivered from and become entangled with them and overcome by them all over again, thus negating the work of grace and salvation produced in his soul by God. In strong and highly depictive language, he portrays this return to the vile and revolting things of our past lives - before we knew Jesus, as a most unthinkable action for a human. The sin, carnality and iniquity we were delivered from, should be viewed as equivalent in value as the contents of our stomach which our body regurgitates and rejects when we are sick! Clearly we should keep our distance from those putrefying and discarded things, ways and practices of the past and never go back or desire them again.
