Then you would be wrong.. a person who is justified cannot lose their salvation or become unjustified... and your rational for how it happens is also NOT in scripture.
Like I stated the GIFT of salvation is irrevocable (clearly stated) and it is not received over a life time nor maintained over a lifetime by our self - effort.
One event ..... "born from above" happens in an instant.

Hello Mr Judges. Have you seen this message/plea from @Rosemaryx ? I am passing it on to you. . .
Hi @Judges1318 ...
I am not sure to be honest if you have me on ignore , and the reason I say this is because I reached out to you to ask for your forgiveness about my attitude towards you a little while back , but you did not reply to me...
Then I made an open appoligy to you on the NBW forum , tagging your name , but you still did not reply...
I stepped out off line a few times towards you , and admitted I was acting from my flesh , I knew it was wrong , but I am just wondering why you never replied to me , or maybe you do have me on ignore ...
Could you please reply to this message if you see it please and thank you...

You can be looking to God and still not obey him.
Jesus himself rebuked those who look to God, but do not obey him (Mark 7:7)
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold he tradition of men.
OSAS = Tradition of men.
This tradition only continues because scripture is laid aside by technical pedantic jargon.

Titus 1:15 - To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They “profess” to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
Key word - “profess” to know God, but their works show otherwise.

Looks like most people who are against your views are OSAS believers. You probably went to the "Not by works" thread and challenged their beliefs. So now it's pay back time.
I think your civil, informative and your also a great teacher.
Learn from the constructive criticism and ignore any destructive comebacks.

They honor with their lip but hearts far from me
That’s called lip service
It does not support your view
And your wrong you can not look to serve god and not be a person who follows his commands
Lol. Your teaching the same thing the Jews followed
Don’t be like them come to God stop relying on self

I looked up the word profess just the other day (I often double-check word meanings in my attempts to be as accurate as possible) and was a little dismayed to find that the primary meaning is: claim that one has (a quality or feeling), especially when this is not the case

Yes, a bogus claim.
- to lay claim to, often insincerely; pretend to: He professed extreme regret.
- to declare openly; announce or affirm; avow or acknowledge: to profess one's satisfaction.
- to affirm faith in or allegiance to (a religion, God, etc.).
- to declare oneself skilled or expert in; claim to have knowledge of; make (a thing) one's profession or business.
It did give me pause
(To give pause: To cause one to take a moment to consider something; to cause one to hesitate.)
