I'd be nervous at 4%. Not going to lie. But all simple surgery is 1%.
I was very nervous when hubby had open heart surgery, enough so that I had to ask, "how often do you transplant valves?" Got the answer that satisfied me. "This is common surgery. He does it several times each week." AND, it was. He was supposed to go in at 9-10 AM and come out about 1-2 PM. They fooled me. He went in at 6 AM and was done before I was going to get really nervous about it. It was literally over before I knew it. No must, no fuss, and that was also the day he went from "maybe won't live" to "will live!"

I think it is there that we are to pray without ceasing according to the mind of Christ. And remember it is the Holy Spirit and not that of our own selves that brings to our mind teaching comforting us it is by grace. The father of lies can be relentlessly accuse the brethern all day .The born again Spirit of Christ as the sword of the Spirit will cause Him to flee as it is written.
If you are having a problem with being exposed to the Bible, then you should not concern yourself with once saved always saved. Rather, focus on your own spiritual condition, and if doubtful, cry out to the Lord to save you,have mercy upon you, and deliver you from doubt, fear, or demonic and Satanic oppression.
I can't give you scriptures supporting OSAS because the bible says you can lose your salvation- to have it and then have it no longer. ("But if you sin willfully there no longer remains a sacrifice for your sins.") If à christian décidés to start living for pleasure by going back to living in sin, then Christ's blood no longer covers them. They can however come back to living for God, like a prodigal son. But the one who leaves God to worship a false god can never return, ever.
It is devours the enemies not the believers. He calls them to repent, he cannot deny he has paid their full wage by the incorruptible seed as those born again.(once)
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.Hebrews 10
Again it cannot devour the believer who has passed from eternal separation(death) to eternal life.

When I was reading through the old testament I saw time and again how God brought wrath upon the enemies of His people. But I also saw how He brought wrath upon His own people when they stopped obeying Him. And in Revelation He speaks of the eternal wrath of the prostitute, and He warns "Come out from her My people or you too will share in the wrath coming to her." It is possible to lose your salvation.
