the Spirit of God is not confusing. it is always telling us, teaching us, encouraging us to do what is right, better, good, best. when you read the Bible - listen for the Spirit to explain, and do not think that you know better than God what to do in life or how to read the Bible correctly (without the Spirit). the Spirit leads into all Truth but (carnal) human reasoning is fallible and looking for a way of escape from a life of servitude (towards God) and holiness (not easily found or brought about - work out your own salvation).
the way is narrow and few there be that find it.
Work out your own salvation in Philippians 2:12 certainly does not mean work for your salvation. Salvation by works is not being taught here. The idea is to progress to completion in spiritual growth and maturity. This is in reference to "ongoing sanctification." Paul makes it clear that we are to be active, not passive, in this process. However, though we are active, we are not alone. In verse 13, we read - for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

I agree with you . I do see that this is more about selflessness / furtherance of the Gospel. Rather than a personal focus . It may be that through this selflessness, the fruit of that may come ( sanctification) . But selfishness can come from a sanctification focus also. Some see that it can't be works for salvation, but change it to works for sanctification. Which is not the focus here . Its God working through . Not in a calvinistic ' Lordship salvation ' way ,of course .

I'm talking about this (separation from your fellowship with God)
And make the truth of none affect, and is A lie
separation from your fellowship with God) and is a LIE
It will be separation alright, in the LAKE OF FIRE, for holding on to sin and not being RIGHTEOUS, to be turned to ASHES
separated from every thing for ever and ever, For GOD says, DUST THOU ART AND UNTO DUST THOU SHALT RETURN,
HE also says Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Deliverance by works; Phil 2:12 his regenerated children being obedient to his commandments is "working out their own deliverance" not eternally, but they are awarded here in this world by their obedience to his commandments.. Romans 2:10, but glory, honour, and peice, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. Romans 6;16 Know ye not, that whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death (separation from your fellowship with God), or obedience unto righteousness.
This in red was ADDED by mans hands AND by Satan's working in their MINDS, Not saying who done it, but I think they are on DANEREOUS GROUND. and real bad ground if they are dead and didn't repent of it.
This is doing what this says, and this verse spells it out for US
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Is it that you are under the misunderstanding that when a person is born again, that they never commit another sin?
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1 John 2:1 My little children (regenerated) when they repent, they can be delivered (saved) from the consequences of that sin. This has no reference to being delivered eternally.
There remaineth no more sacrifice for sin, but when a regenerated child of God sins, God chastens him and when he repents, God devours his sin.
