I use the ole KING JIMMIETH.....but study every word for the Greek or Hebrew....like the word IRREVOCABLE..........it is directed at the GIFTS and calling of GOD.........and ALL that peddle a losable salvation MUST reject this word that is directed at the GIFTS of GOD....salvation is a GIFT and NOT of works lest any man should boast...

This is an interesting point. What is irrevocable?
As far as the gospel is concerned,
they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned,
they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gifts and
his call are irrevocable.
Rom 11:28-29
Two things are put here.
1. The jews are enemies of the gospel
2. They are loved
God blesses the Jews and they have His favour, yet they have been rejected, which is why we are accepted.
I draw from this, the promise is true and blessed, but if we are disobedient to it, we are condemned.
Otherwise the Jews are saved and destined for glory, individually and as a group.
So if Gods promise to us His people is irrevocable, if we are disobedient, we will be rejected just as the jews were.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so
that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
Rom 11:25
Do not become conceited, ie presumptuous, because one is an heir to the promise one can trample on its foundations.
There are parables about abusing the blessing we have in Christ, yet this is exactly what some claim is not relevant.
