That may be somewhat of a FACT only for you, but will such a faith SAVE; BUT WE TRUST IN JESUS TO BE WITH US FOREVER and bring our Faith to COMPLETION.
Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:10-11 (NCV)
10 And after you suffer for a short time, God, who gives all grace, will make everything right. He will make you strong and support you and keep you from falling. He called you to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever.
11 All power is his forever and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25 (NIV)
24 To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--
25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
1 Peter 1:3-5 (NIV)
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you,
5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
So, you are still ROBBING GOD OF THE GLORY for KEEPING YOU FROM STUMBLING. Good Luck with KEEPING YOURSELF FROM FALLING, you are going to need it.
James 2:10 (CSBBible)
10 For whoever keeps the entire law, and yet stumbles at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.

The Lord commissions Samuel to anoint David King over Israel 1Samuel16:1-13
And you think King David or Abraham wasn't "Saved" before they committed adultery, but, "then he was very remorseful" and then became saved? So that supports your belief that a Christian cannot commit "any other "serious" sin" All sin is very serious by the way.
Are you sure about this, because it is God who judges a man's salvation, not you or I.
20) I have found David my servant;
with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
21) My hand will sustain him;
surely my arm will strengthen him.

The law required those who violate the Sabbath to be put to death.
Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 31:15
again
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lordcommanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died. Numbers 15:32-36
they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
This is not some “made up religion” but the law.
Do you obey this?

Galatians for you.....and Hebrews as well....why do you desire bondage....?
The disciples of Jesus gathered and ate wheat on the Sabbath......and Jesus healed on the Sabbath.....
Thank God I am not under the law........nor will I submit to the bondage that you submit to......
THEREFORE, we conclude a man is JUSTIFIED by FAITH without the DEEDS/WORKS of the LAW.......
For by the LAW there shall NO flesh be justified in his sight.............
O Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you....?
HAVING begin in the SPIRIT are you now made complete or perfect by the DEEDS of the LAW (FLESH)
NOPE.....and 7th Day Adventist dogma does not make the grade......<---Biblically that is!

What's your thoughts concerning the following
Revelation 3:10-11
10 “Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world.11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.

Lots of scriptures ALSO have CONTEXT WOVEN IN...........and why should I tell you what I think...you will ignore it, reject it, embellish it, change it, twist it or say I said something I did not say........I already put one who does this regularly on ignore.....now if you seriously want to listen, weigh carefully what I say, be honest and open to learning and instruction I might lay it out.......

VERY astute Bill....the word translated KEEP means to guard and or protect from harm or loss....NOT remove.....and it is applied unto the faithful in the Lord's churches that will be hedged about and protected during the Great Tribulation Period....NOT removed as many erroneously believe.....

AMEN brother....it is ridiculous to say that David was not saved until after his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah.....as a matter of fact the Psalms are replete with the consequences of David's sin.....not to mention the immediate results.....David speaks of his salvation, God states David was after the heart and mind of God before he was anointed KING, He speaks of his salvation in the present tense and as a saved child of God suffered the chastisement of God because of his sin....
a) The death of the child
b) The sword in his house
c) Rebellious children
d) Sickness
Just to name 4

2 Peter 3:14-18
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
This was written to the Galatians after Paul is dead.

Jesus is mighty to save those who are his and he fufiills the promise.
Those the Father has given me, I will not lose one of them
John 18:8-9
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
