I post scripture, lots of scripture. I’m sorry if you can’t see that the disciples had no understanding of the d,b,r. This is the gospel that Paul taught.
1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 16
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith

One can turn their back and lose faith, but God remains faithful. Circumstances in life may cause a believer to drift away from the Lord, but the Lord never loses that which is His.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold all souls are mine; the soul that sineth ,it shall die . You are teaching a doctrine that cause a lot of souls to be lost .The dog & 2 PETER 2:22 the sow that was washed . Once it go's back into the mire it is no longer clean . GOD bless as HE sees Fit.

A faith that is stagnant is a faith that in the mtn of life has halted in the climb of sanctification until glorification at the peak which is our resurrection in Christ. The stagnant faith for many reasons stops due to the climb may have become exhausting, scary, too treacherous, too many obstacles, not a convenient enough of a path.
This faith is always in danger of turning around or completely giving up. So called eventually apostasy. Only God can see the heart of these individuals and the full life of the individual.
Us as Christians must examine the fruit and with discernment determine are they in a period of doubt and some discipleship may help or if they have grown hostile towards the faith then what led to that? A long festering doubt? A life crisis? A false teacher? If this can be discovered we may can bring them back. If all else fails as Paul said to release them to Satan and in prayer we pray that life and consequences of sin will bring them home. Will the individual be like the prodigal son? Only God knows and so for us we should never give up on the lost until we die or Christ returns.
But at the same time protect ourselves and
1 Corinthians 9:26-27
26 I therefore so run, but not with uncertainty; I so fight, but not as one that beateth the air.
27 But I keep control of my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
We must be in a daily practice of carrying ones cross which is in full submission and abiding faith that we rely on God and God alone to sustain us until the day of completion.

Yeah I do not believe that drivel either......Grace is woven through the whole bible even though it is partially hidden in the O.T.....
example....
Under the law, David should have been put to death for his adultery with Bathsheba and subsequent murder of Uriah...yet GOD had mercy, spared David, took the innocent son of David in his place (picture of JESUS) and under chastisement punished David through various means as evidenced by the Psalms.......
