You cannot buy the Holy Spirit, neither can someone give you the Holy Spirit, so it had to be ordinary olive oil.
You said they were watching, but Jesus said he did not know them and they needed to watch, so they were NOT watching.
You said they were not saved, but those who believe in Jesus Christ are saved, and as a result, the five were actually WAITING for the Bridegroom who they obviously believed in.
Obviously salvation CAN be lost.
That is why I continually tell you that your "
bias" is so that you can "f
alsely claim" a verse to say what you want it to say; that is bad interpretation and leads to bad applications such as your; "
you can lose your salvation."
When the bible is silent about an issue; like the 5 virgins without oil, then we should be silent; this is
"Rules of interpretation 101." Do not try to make the bible say something that it is not, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Here is your critical mistake;
"Obviously salvation CAN be lost." This is a lie from the devil.
A true born again believer cannot lose their, "
Eternal Salvation" because the bible say's so, read your bible.
You need to "
unlearn" this garbage theology whoever taught you in the first place, it is wrong.
John10:28
I give them eternal life,
"and they shall never perish"; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
