Yeah no sorry that is the wrong answer that isn't how the kingdom of God works Jesus was our example when he was on earth he had a mission and he was going full force on it he was bringing the kingdom and he was saving the lost he gave life and salvation for anyone who would listen even though there were many who hated him for it but he planted the seed anyway he went around planting seed after seed of the kingdom
He did this everywhere he went on every ear whether it took fruit or not because he understood the kingdom he understood the mission of rescuing lost people and he was a carpenter he knew all about hard work.
And because he was so radical in his mission he brought crowds of people even an entire city just trying to get a small glimpse of him people were shoving earch other trying to force their way to him
They got taste of the kingdom merely because he went around planting the seeds of the kingdom and those who lived their normal lives got a taste of the kingdom and wanted it so badly they were desperately trying to shove through each other to get to him.
When Jesus ascended he passed his mission on to us, it's frankly not our concern who can be saved or not he is the one who saves not us we just plant the seeds and watch what he does. You have to make people get a taste of the kingdom and make them so hungry for it they shove through crowds to get another taste of it we have salvation and heaven itself with us all the wonders of the kingdom the shining brilliance of the truth the salvation of the world and how many get saved depends on us it's our turn to take up the mission of Christ and if people are lost that shouldn't make us get into thinking of who can be saved or not it should quickem us to go and plant the seed of God regardless if they recieve it or not because we are the workers in the field but he reaps the harvest.

What revelation 3:5 is saying is that those that have their names in the book of life are those that have overcomed and will have their names still in the book of life. If you think about it, Christ knows the past, present, and future. The book of life was written before the world was. Do you think that He needs an eraser to erase the names of those He errored in puting their names in the book? Christ does not err.
The only thing correct about your post is that we are Christ's workmen in spreading the Gospel. His kingdom is His body which is made up of saved Christians and Christ is the head and His scepter is one of righteousness. That means that saved Christians not only have their sins erased but are born again and perfected. They become righteous because they get filled by the Holy Spirit of the Father and Son so that all thoughts and actions are motivated by Divine Love. We become righteous because we then obey the Spirit of the Law. Sadly, people who think that all that they have to do is believe that Christ died for their sins without being born again and receiving this divine love by the Holy Spirit which perfects them will not be in Christ's kingdom of righteousness. If you think that you are a Christian but still continue to sin and are not perfected, Christ will say to you that He never knew you. Don't forget that even Satan and his demons are aware of the Father's plan for the salvation of man through Jesus Christ. They are the ones that distort the Gospel of which many on CC are their workmen.
If He knows in advance, why would He have to blot names out of His book? Doesn't that mean that once saved does not necessarily mean always saved? The only reasoning that I can come up with is that since God transcends time, the blotting out that occurs in Revelation and Exodus happens before the world was.

Jesus taught a partial truth about Romans 10:9--- Yes belief is much deeper--obeying everything he taught is proof of ones love for him. That is -THE WAY. Learning and applying everything he taught because one has belief in him. And Jesus assures belief means more that plain believing at Matt 7:22-23-- these believe, but will lose.
1 John 5:1-5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of (by) God; and everyone that loveth him that begot loveth him also that is begotten of (by) Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of (by) God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even ( that is ) our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the son of God?
The reason His commandments are not burdensome is because we no longer have to obey the letter of the Law. When we receive the Holy Spirit of the Father and Son, we will have our hearts filled with the Divine Love that the Father and Son share so that all of our thoughts and actions are motivated by this love. We will then be perfected and will be obeying the Spirit of the Law.
