Continuing to believe in order to maintain your salvation goes against the entire essence of the Gospel. Either Jesus saved you, past tense, and are forever saved, or you are not saved.
That's your osas bias talking.
It doesn't let you see that you can indeed be saved and it not have to mean 'irreversibly saved'.
In your mind 'saved' can only mean 'not able to be unsaved'.
You are literally defining 'saved' as 'always and forever saved no matter what' and you think there is absolutely no other possible way to define it.
That's a doctrinal bias.
It colors everything you read in the Bible.
You have to have the courage to let yourself see other legitimate views of scripture.
When I started doing that, instead of instantly rejecting anything that didn't agree with what I decided beforehand was the truth, I started to learn a lot of things.
And not just truths about doctrines, but truths about people and human nature.
It helped me to be more compassionate towards others instead of always stomping around in an angry, threatening, dogmatic, closed off, doctrinal rage, like some people here, and then justifying it in the name of 'truth'.
After all, isn't that what really counts, much more than the correctness of our doctrinal beliefs--how we view and treat other people? The answer is, 'yes', of course.
