Not hardly............He hath perfected FOREVER those who are sanctified in Christ.....
The bible teaches eternal security......it does not teach one can lose it......and we do not HELP God keep ourselves saved......end of story!
I see it looks like you are staunch in saying they are secure forever. I have a few questions for you since that is your stance.
You know, the way you quoted the Bible is right "for those who are sanctified in Christ"
So tell me who is not sanctified? Now you claim once saved always saved.
What is the meaning of the race, running the course?
Why is the way to distruction wide and easy, yet to salvation narrow and hard that FEW find? After all, once your saved your saved right? Which one sounds easy? Why would salvation be a narrow and hard way if once I say Lord, Lord then I am saved forever!! ???
Let's see what happens at the judgement.
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Those who practice lawlessness.... hmmm who said that before? Let's see what is in John
4Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
So, would you say John has it all wrong? That you can run around and do what you want and remain in God?
What about it this part?

Tradition and Vain Worship
(Mark 7:1-13)
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
What Defiles a Man
(Mark 7:14-23)
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
So tell me, why do you believe in predestination?
