This is the point I was trying to make with the scriptures I posted: saved now philosophy does not apply to scripture.
Yes it does. And I have quoted it to you already. 1 John says that believers should know that they have eternal life.
The topic is supposed to be about Savior & Salvation; note that Kenneth's verses are off topic -- no Savior & no salvation in them:
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who
remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
crowns are rewards, not salvation
Matthew 24:10-13
And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 10:22
And you will be hated by all for my name's sake.
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24 & 10 are about making it to the end of the Tribulation, not spiritual salvation. But according the eternal security,
the saved do all endure to the end.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and
let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to
Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Amen. Since our salvation is guaranteed, let us run the race for rewards.
Hebrews 10:36
Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised [that is the reward, which is not salvation] don't stop there, go through 10:39
And we can be confident if we have trusted the Lord Jesus as Savior that we shall endure.
But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift,
and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. [keep going:]
For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
Again you didn't go through 6:9
Hebrews 3:12-14
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
And we do hold our confidence firm to the end, which proves our share in Christ!
2 Timothy 4:2-8
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching,
but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
Nothing here about salvation.
1 Timothy 4:16
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.
Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
The message is part of the salvation process. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?
So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.
They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
Another passage on rewards, not salvation
Romans 11:19-22
Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God:
severity toward those who have fallen,
but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
Passage on age mass movements of Jews & Gentiles, not individual salvation. Gentiles as a whole are called thou. Rom 11 begins & ends with election, and near the end: "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
Mark 13:9-13
“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake.
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Passage about making it to the end of the Tribulation, not spiritual salvation.
However, by eternal security all the saved do endure to the end.
Using one scripture or a couple to defend your philosophy could easily be debated, but when scriptures are said by our Lord and then reiterated by the apostles then it can not be debated. For they all say the same thing.
None of your passages speak about salvation, except Mark 13, which is not about spiritual salvation but making it through the Tribulation. Also, none of your passages speak about the Savior. So they are irrelevant.
And they do not contradict the facts:
Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
