....there is NO SUCH thing as presently believing = presently saved...
"1Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2by which also you are (presently) saved, if you (presently) hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain." (1 Corinthians 15:1-2 NASB)
Did you not know this? Check it out for yourself, you who like to play the verb tense card (without examples) to defend your argument: https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1co/15/1/t_conc_1077002
The person who is presently holding fast the word is presently saved. Do you say that is not true? What Paul said makes it so that you HAVE to be presently believing to be presently saved, or else what he said is not true.
nor a former believer is not secure in Christ
"26For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THEFURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES." (Hebrews 10:26-27 NASB)
Are you afraid of these words because you are afraid you will stop believing and go back to your sins because of trials and troubles and the desires for this life? Don't be afraid, just keep trusting/believing in Christ to keep you able to believe in his blood, and his sacrifice will REMAIN for you and you will be rescued from the coming wrath. You only have to be afraid if you stop believing and trusting in God's power because His power works "through faith" (1 Peter 1:5).
ALL who have exercised genuine faith into JESUS are saved eternally to the uttermost and KEPT by the power of GOD...
YOUR use of Hebrews 10 and the other 3 sets of verse to say one can LOSE salvation is false, out of context and twisted to push a dogma that the bible does not teach.....
