Many atheists and agnostics will tell you that they are former Christians. I consider myself to be a former Christian. I was born and raised a Christian. I was a fundamentalist Bible believing Christian, I prayed, went to Church occasionally, etc. But still some Christians will say that this is not enough to be considered a Christian because "once saved, always saved". In other words, it is impossible for a saved person to become a non-believer.
For Debate:
1. Is the once saved always saved view valid?
2. If it is valid, then were former Christians, like the ones I described above, not Christians in any sense of the word? Is there such a thing as a cultural Christian? Someone born and raised into it without being saved?
