I keep this list of warning signs where I can see it at all times. I keep it there as a warning to myself to recognize if i' m slipping into the process of falling away.

6 steps to falling away, in the correct order.
1) the fulfillment of faith stops. No continually surrendered life.
2) Neglect of prayer.
3) Substitute action for prayer.
4) Follow a far off.
5) Rekindle appetites of the flesh.
6) Rejecting Jesus.

The disclaimer:
This list only pertains to those who are responding to the call of the Father with a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender.

Those who are only believing, and those who are attempting some kind of obedience, this warning is not for you. The reason being is you have yet to respond to the call of the Father with NT Faith and faithing. He's calling you out and still awaiting the correct response.

2 Thess. 2: 1-4
1 Tim. 4:1
Heb. 6: 4-6
Mt. 24: 12, 24
I prefer this list.
Rom 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are being done (tois poiEmasin), even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
Rom 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

We need to keep on giving God the glory, the credit for the good in our lives; and to be thankful to Him for all he has done and is doing and has promised to do. Otherwise we will redefine God into a false image of God, we will more and more run on instinct, and begin to behave more and more like mere animals.

2 Thess. 2: 1-4
1 Tim. 4:1
Heb. 6: 4-6
Mt. 24: 12, 24
I see, YES, YES, YES, to continued trust to our Father through risen Son. I have watched and not always seen me do truth in past. Now see as have gotten, still being taught taught new from Father in Spirit and Truth, the Holy Spirit.
Now see Evil continues to try to get in me and make me do the old me, in what I today do not want, anyone else? I love Father, Daddy, PaPa, Son for doing what is done for us all 1 John 2:1-27, that is where my dependence is at.
Father still speaks in true Love and mercy through Son for us all, at least me, in thankfulness, I see it as easy as the air I breathe, now, not always before.

Sometimes it is well for me to keep short accounts with Father, Daddy, PaPa in risen Son Jesus, yet not for anymore forgiveness, that is done by Son John 19:30. Sometimes in the past it turned out "I" got in the way again and did not see it, when I got a little prideful over thinking "I" got this and one day saw, No "I" do not at all. God does, And has it all in love and mercy God chose to share with people to anyone, the perfection of Son, those sincere in belief to see truth over error will willingly learn what walking new in love and mercy to all is.
John 13:34.
I see as a person focuses, one does as focused. If anger has got me, then anger is on its way to leading me. One ends up doing what anger wants. I changed my mind and see God loves us all, so I respond in love and mercy back to self and all.
thanks to Father and Son as Won (One) for us all to choose, Thank you for your post also, Watchman22
