Ever notice that many OSAS defenders stay away from talking about free choice/free will? They use terms to describe salvation like predestined, chosen, picked, selected, etc. They also convey a form of universalism, that no matter how bad you live, you can always come back because of grace...The stay away from talking about free will/free choice regarding maintaining/expanding relationship with Father, Son and Holy Ghost after salvation, because it would imply that God's greatest gift of salvation is based on covenant relationship....
If the law was based on covenant and Israel went whoring all the time, what makes us think under the New Covenant, free choice/ free will went out the window? OSAS suggests the removal of free will/free choice and according to my Bible, that is not what God, the Son or Holy Ghost has ever done....
Now watch they will say free will/free choice only amounts to initial salvation and nothing else...this is why they can comfortably tell you other souls don't matter if they are saved an still living like hell, because they are saved...and that there does not have to be any evidence of the manifestation of the kingdom of God to the world, or that maintaining and expanding relationship with the God head is warranted, because it manifests itself is automatically when we become his children....and we don't have to work at it...
Covenant relationship is who God is and always will be...

See a thread and poll I did earlier: "How do eternal security and free will relate together for the Christian". There seem to be differences of opinion about this idea among OSAS believers.
