Let's use an analogy. If you are rock climbing they have a rope that will hold you and keep you from falling. If you use the tools correctly then you will never fall. Yes, you may slip, and yes you might even fall for fifty or a hundred feet, but the rope will catch you and save you.
But what if you forsake that rope like some rock climbers?
According to the OSAS doctrine once you use the rope you can never ever forsake it. They make it sound like you are now imprisoned. Paul was a prisoner of the Lord, but that was by choice. The prison does not have a lock on the door. The same is true of the rope you can use it if you wish, you can forsake it if you wish. The children of Israel who are examples to the NT saints, forsook it. We are told in the NT very clearly that these examples are a warning to us.
