Oh goody another OSAS thread!

That would mean:
The moment we believe we ARE saved. Our faith overcomes the world.
The only scenario in my mind that works and keeps Scripture in agreement is they were never saved to begin with.

Or they have gone astray.

You obviously don't want to discuss Scriptures that disagree with your POV. And you're ignoring several points I've made. So, I'll bow out of this conversation with you.

The reason OSAS is a doctrine to be avoided is that it gives people a false sense of security...

That statement reveals that you do not really understand Gospel truth. Take some time to properly study the matter.

...stop accusing the early Christians of not being saved.

Many died for the sake of the Gospel, and your false cult has the impudence to accuse them of not believing.

What makes you think that I said anything about early Christians not being saved.

What false cult are you talking about? Now you are the one making a false accusation.

These "beloved" people had given their hearts to the Lord and were earnestly seeking to grow in the faith. Peter warned them against the unlearned false teachers who were heading towards their own destruction. Proof if proof were needed that believing Christian teachers can have a false understanding that leads themselves and others to perdition. We are only secure if we keep looking to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who is the way the truth and the life. Beware the false teachers on the internet. The apostle Peter continues:

(16) As also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
(17) Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
(18) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
(2Pe 3:16-18 KJV)

It would pay people to read the whole chapter with a humble and seeking heart and ask themselves why would Peter be warning them against false teachers if their salvation is secure.

We are eternally saved providing we keep looking to Jesus for our salvation. Keep on the narrow path that leads to life. Only a few find it.

The words "lost or lose salvation" are nowhere found in the Bible.

As the Pulpit Commentary points out - Beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness; rather, as in the Revised Version, lest, being carried away... ye fall. It is interesting to notice that the word rendered "led or carried away" is used by St. Paul, in Galatians 2:13, of St. Barnabas, who, along with St. Peter himself, was then "carried away" with the dissimulation of the Judaizers. The word rendered "wicked," rather "lawless," is used elsewhere in the New Testament only in chapter 2 Peter 2:7. The word for "steadfastness" (στηριγμός) occurs only here.

Proverbs 24:16 - For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Only a few find it because only few are trusting exclusively in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. Saving faith in Christ continues and is not some shallow, temporary belief that has no root, produces no fruit and withers away.

Thank you for confirming people can be led away from the truth. The apostles concern for their spiritual welfare indicates the seriousness of the resulting consequences regarding their salvation.

And if people who profess themselves to be Christians, believe Jesus was only a man, as many do, what then?

(Walking the dog, back soon.)

I'm talking about the doctrine according to OSAS.

PS offered.....And if people who profess themselves to be Christians, believe Jesus was only a man, as many do, what then?

Believers can temporarily stumble, but that does not mean it's all over for them and they lost their salvation. I'm still looking for the specific words, "lost salvation" in the Bible, but cannot find them.

Prior to my conversion, while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I was beat over the head with the NOSAS doctrine and the Priest at the RCC where I attended really seemed to enjoy keeping it's members in fear and bondage to IN-security!

There are genuine believers and there are make believers.

If you don't conveniently redefine what the inheritance is you can see that Paul told the Galatians that for them to go back to the law and away from Christ is to go back to being slaves and that the slave does NOT receive the inheritance along with the sons. This is so plainly taught in the Bible that it shows how profound the deceit is in the church concerning once saved always saved.

You might as well be telling us what Martians taught you. Who cares what non-Christian denom's are doing? I sure don't.

Not exactly I was referring to that there is "no such thing" as the "circumstance" you clearly wanted no name to "jump on",because while John 3:16 and others similar to it speak of "believing" there is a difference between "claiming to believe" in Jesus and "sincerely believing" in Jesus to be saved and receive the Holy spirit as even Jesus himself said concerning judgment day "many will say unto me Lord Lord"(I'm sure you know the scripture).
Allow me to "clarify what I mean" many are known as "believing" especially today yet their "heart's" do not "know" Jesus many "go to church" or "use Jesus's name" in a variety of ways typically for "self promotion" or to "look good" but particularly just "like what they hear" about Jesus.
This is often why "sincere believers" and "claimed believers" get thrown into the same boat because the "claimed believers" believe Jesus will "understand" them sinning willfully and will be "forgiven" and not face hell or the lake of fire only because they "believe" what they "like to hear" and thus "reject" Jesus because they "accept" him in "portion" not in "whole" and unfortunately give a bad reputation to "sincere believers" because they themselves are in "unbelief" and thereby "confusing" others of "unbelief".
It's "tough" to know "one's heart" but even so it's possible to discern between one of "unbelief" and "actual belief" there is no "switching back and forth" between "unbelief" and "belief" you either believe in Jesus and accept him "entirely" or you don't believe in him and reject him "entirely" there is no "accepting him in part or portion".
