BUT, if someone falls away, He won't be able to...
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]11 [/SUP]It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:[SUP] 12 [/SUP]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:[SUP]13 [/SUP]If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.........[SUP]18 [/SUP]Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.[SUP] 19 [/SUP]Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.[SUP] 20 [/SUP]But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.[SUP] 21 [/SUP]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
As far as what you're writing, aren't you saying that we could then break ANY commandment CONTINUOULSY, and still be saved?

So that is why His disciples that are abiding in Him seek the good of other saved believers & even former believers to lead them to go to Christ at that throne of grace for help in seeing the lies that turned them away from Him or to see the iniquity that they are in so they can lean on Him for help to depart from that iniquity & keep them from it till He comes.
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
To lean on Him as our Good Shepherd to help us lay aside every weight & sin in running that race is how we, and those He lead us to minister to, can obtain that eternal glory that comes with our salvation in Christ Jesus as a vessel unto honor.
If you doubt the validity of the message as plainly written, feel free to explain away those verses, but 1 Corinthians 3:10-17 can confirm that those left behind to face a physical death, their souls are still kept by Him. 1 Peter 4:17-19 provided at the link at Bible gateway to read below.
