Joseph Prince is well known for his ‘You are once righteous always righteous’ doctrine. John 10:28 is the key text of Joseph Prince in defending his ‘you are forever saved, and you will never perish’ doctrine. In the other videos that I’ve personally viewed,
Joseph Prince just told the audience about the promise in John 10:28 that we will never perish – and giving them the false idea that the promise comes with no conditions. He didn’t tell them that there are conditions attached to the ‘you will never perish’ promise in verse 28, which are found in the preceding verse in verse 27.

To fully understand John 10:28, we must examine John 10:27, which gives the context and the condition to John 10:28. We must examine who these pronouns ‘them’ and ‘they’ in John 10:28 are referring to in John 10:27. From one quick reading, it becomes clear that the ‘them’ and the ‘they’ in verse 28 refer to those sheep, who listen to Christ and follow Him in verse 27.
So now it’s pretty clear that the promise of having eternal life, never perishing and none can snatch you out of Christ’s hands in verse 28, is not unconditional as Joseph Prince has deceptively presented it to be. The promise in verse 28 that “they shall never perish” is conditional upon the sheep listening to Christ and following Him in verse 27. To insist on the promise in verse 28 as Joseph Prince has done without highlighting the condition in verse 27 is to distort Jesus’ teaching. So, it is very clear that the promise about having eternal life, never perishing, and none can snatch them out of God’s hand in verse 28, is only to those sheep who listen and follow Christ in verse 27. If one isn’t willing to obey and follow Christ in verse 27, the promise in verse 28 is not his to claim.
