Judas was a disciple of the Lord and therefore he left ft all to follow Jesus (Lk. 14:33). He picked up his cross (Lk. 14:27) and even loved Jesus more then his own family (Lk. 14:26). Judas was picked by Jesus specifically to cast out devils, heal, and preach (Matt 10:1-27). Judas was a friend Jesus trusted (Ps. 41:9; Jn 13:18), so Judas kept the money (Jn. 12:6; 13:29). Jesus told Judas that He was shedding His blood for him (Lk. 22:14-20), and previously said that His name was written in the Lambs book of life (Lk. 10:20). Jesus even said that Judas was one of His sheep (Matt. 10:1-4, 16), who received His truth (Matt 10:1-4, 8), whos Father was God (Matt 10:1-4, 20), who even had a throne in Heaven upon which he would judge Israel (Matt. 19:28; Lk. 22:30). But then later we see that Judas became a devil (Jn. 6:70) and therefore it would have been better for him to have never been born (Mk. 14:21). He even began to steal money from the group (Jn. 12:6). Judas fell from his apostleship by his transgression (Acts 1:25) because He failed to do what Jesus picked him for. His name was blotted out of the book of life (Ex. 23:33; Rev. 3:5).

Calvinism denies that the Scriptures in Hebrews 6 and Hebrews 10 mean what they say. They falsely believe “Once Saved Always Saved” allowing their church members to sin without recourse. Sinning without repentance can lead a person to the point of abandonment of The Faith if it goes on too long. However, something to consider is: why does the Word warn us not depart from The Faith if it were not possible to do so? Consider the following verses:
1 Tim. 4:1 ,2 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Heb. 3:12 - Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
2 Pet. 2:21 - For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Though some may find it repulsive and even heretical to believe that Ananias and Sapphira were once saved and afterwards went to hell, but all the Biblical evidence supports this! Ananias and Sapphira were liars and all liars will go to the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8). There are NO Christian liars. Ananias and Sapphira tried to deceive and deceivers will be excluded from New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:27).
We can know if one is a child of God or a child of the devil by their present tense behavior (1 John 3:10; 2:4). Hence, the church at Jerusalem knew if Ananias and Sapphira were saved or not, and they were with the company of believers. That implies that the Christians knew that Ananias and Sapphira were possessors of eternal life at one point.
After both were struck dead for lying, the whole church was seized by great fear (Acts 5:11). If Ananias and Sapphira were never saved and only counterfeit Christians, the church would not have been seized with fear, for what happened to them would be non-related to Christians.
Both Ananias and Sapphira lied to Peter and were judged by God immediately afterwards. Peter wrote in his epistle the following, which seems directly related to Ananias and Sapphira, but only if they had been saved:
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (1 Pet 4:17)
Ananias and Sapphira acted just like some of the other Christians who previously sold property and gave the proceeds to feed needy brothers and sisters.
