No. He lost the blessing of a particular promise. Otherwise, he's a goner. And so is everyone else. Unless you believe that God treats some differently than others.
Laws are either kept or not. There is no mostly kept.
How would someone not keep the law and not come under the wrath of God and not forfeit the promise?

Also, Ro 8:12,13, the Christian who walks after the flesh instead of the Spirit will die and not live--as Gal 6:6-10 says "sow to the flesh, reap destruction, sow to the Spirit, reap everlasting life", and the "sowing" is "good deeds" and "we will reap in due season if we persist in doing good".
The "faith alone" crowd sees no issue for all these Scriptures--they're just "extra parts" left over after tbeyre done building their "systematic theologies". Not that they have no efficacy, they're just inaccurate. They're all misshapen, with parts jutting out in this direction, stuff falling off in that direction, but they swear it's fine. Lol it's a mess!

"in Him"
Again, we only abide in Him if we keep His commandments--believe in the Name of God's Son AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. And we know we abide in Him by the Spirit He gives us.
The eternal life is only located in the Son (1 Jn 5:11)--and only by abiding in Him do we continue to be supplied with the Spirit/eternal life.
What happens to us if we infract this Law of Faith? Paul warns "if you disregard this prohibition on immorality, you're not disregarding man but God Who gives you His Spirit"!

"Sheep do not know when to stop eating. This is especially concerning if they have access to things they like and taste good to them. Accidental access to unlimited grains, Alpha Fields, access to fruit. This farmer lost 83 Sheep by accident when they pushed down a fence and got into an Alfalfa Field."

So tell me, what promise was forfeited by Moses?
And more importantly, what was the REASON and nature of the rebellion of BOTH Moses AND Aaron?
How grave was the sin? Was this sin premeditated and intentional (and it most certainly was)?
And if this DIRECT COMMAND by God Himself speaking from the Shekinah glory cloud was broken intentionally and willfully (and it most certainly was), what then is the necessary punishment, according to your thesis?
Num 20:7
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 20:8
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
Num 20:9
And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
Num 20:10
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Num 20:11
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Num 20:12
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
Num 20:13
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

The whole of Romans 4 deals with Abraham.
Abraham was under the law was he? Even before he was circumcised?
Our keeping laws has ZERO to do with salvation. Zero. Lest the finished work of Jesus be defiled.
Faith in the Name of Jesus (therefore being under/covered by the blood) is THE one and only factor that guarantees salvation.
