This sounds exactly like what I describe on here every day. It's amazing how the truth lines up with His word so well. There is really only 1 part of this we disagree on when we break it down. how is it we are even able to obey His word? I say it's 100% Gods power that dives us this ability, His Spirit that indwells us and guides us to all truth. I do not believe this event and rebirth is something that can be reversed. I do NOT believe we obey by our power at all, that's why we are told it's impossible for those of the flesh to please God.
You seem to believe in a cosmic probation where our obedience is what saves us in the end that makes it works based. Why you can't seem to "get" this I really don't understand. I actually think I do understand but it's just not an argument anyone buy God can open your eyes to. It just doesn't seem like you know the Spirit he way you argue everything.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Honestly look at our conversations, of the two of us, who seems to have their mind set on the things of the Spirit, and who thinks more of the things of the flesh, like the law, obedience, and being good enough to warrant salvation? I'm just saying that you seem to think very much like I did when I was not really saved and just liked the "idea" of Jesus.
