Oh. And if I answer it to your liking,
you'll CHANGE YOUR MIND??
And is it normal on this site to talk about persons as if they weren't around??

No, I fully expect some twist so as to make your fallacy seem legit.....end of story....either you teach you can lose it or it is eternal.....and if one can lose it, it cannot be gained back (Hebrews states it is impossible) so I can rightfully assume that you have never lost it, because if you have your toast......
at the end of the day ALL who say it can be lost are missing the mark, lying or deceived......deductive reasoning and the truth point to the truth of what I have said...... so let us list the possibilities of those who say it can be lost...
a. You never lost salvation and never will because YOU always, 100% of the time do right and never sin (sin brings death)
b. You can lose it never applies to you, only those who believe in eternal security
c. You lost it because you can never 100% of the time do right and never sin (see a above)
d. If you lost it due to failure and sin it cannot be regained ever as it is IMPOSSIBLE (see Hebrews)
So which is it with you?
OR.......Salvation is ETERNAL because....
a. It is based upon the FAITH and WORK of JESUS who NEVER FAILS
b. The righteousness of CHRIST has been applied by faith and BLOOD to all who exercise genuine faith
c. JESUS continually mediates for ALL who believe
d. We are saved, justified, sanctified and sealed in Christ by faith
e. ALL my sin has been laid to the charge of JESUS
f. Whatsoever GOD does it is EVERLASTING (see Ecclesiastes 3:14)
g. Eternal and Everlasting as APPLIED to LIFE means exactly that
h. He that began a good work will COMPLETE it
I. I will NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU
J. ETC
I will pass on the fallacy of one being able to LOSE salvation and will embrace the truth over religious rigmarole and ignorance!
