In staying in Jesus, love and the cross, we cannot lose our salvation.
The above language reminds me of an OCD person, who if they see something in the street
must pick it up, and cannot stop themselves from doing this until every bit of litter is removed.
So the idea that we could walk away from love possess them to the extent they must have already
done this and so feel lost an condemned.
This is a disorder, nothing to do with faith, love and following Jesus. Thankfully knowing love and
Jesus we know choice and responsibility and the consequences of our actions, Praise the Lord, and
most of all the forgiveness of the cross when we fail, but more the power of the cross to show love
and charity to others, Amen.

I guess since you know how to quote Rev 14, it will be better to lead someone to put their faith in Jesus, and then take a gun and kill him as soon as you can so that he will never be tempted to take the mark?

James 2:14-26 New King James Version (NKJV)
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does itprofit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Some people believe the book of James doesnt apply for today

Faith with works must show Christs work in their hearts through works because this is the consequence
of that work which simply cannot be denied, like a light on a hill, it burns brightly so that all around
might see, here dwells the love of God in the hearts of man. Amen and Praise the Lord.
14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Matt 5

36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
Matt 12
A general accusation of mockery is dangerous stuff, even sinful, because it could both
we true or false, but puts the speaker as the judge and the person being judged as the
target, which could also be a person following Jesus and His ways and the condemner
following their own miss-guided view of the Lord.
If one is willing to stand before God on that day and defend ones words, so be it, because
Jesus warns us, we need to be able to defend what we say and share.
And for this I praise the Lord, that there is a time when everything will be disclosed, and
made plain. For to Him belongs all the honour and glory, and we must follow His ways,
the ways of life and love, to find that which we desire most, being with Him in eternity, Amen.

They are not losers brother. Just mixed up in their thinking. Some have been truly saved, yet haven't had the revelation yet of just exactly who they are NOW. Which are His Children.
They are also confused that their Father loves them. And NOTHING can separate them from His Love!
Romans 8:38-39 New King James Version (NKJV)
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other CREATED THING, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
WE ARE CREATED BEINGS!

Can you still be saved according to OSAS, even when you follow another Gospel?
I came to God 7 years ago. I believed in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. I said sorry "change of mind" for my sins. I believed in the imputed Righteousness of Christ, thought I was forgiven for my past present and future sins, had a relationship with Jesus.
When I came to Jesus on ______ lost the actual date, I was sealed with the holy spirit (A seal that cant be reversed).
I lived a lifestyle of ungodliness after I was saved, was I saved?
*Some on here tell me I wasnt saved(never saved to begin with).
But you then tell me I was sealed (A seal that cant be broken).
Why wasnt the holy spirit, doing the work in me for over 3 years?
Why did I bear absolutely no fruit with the holy spirit in me?
Am I still saved will following another Gospel?
You tell me I am sealed by the holy spirit (nothing can break that seal I received 7 years ago on that special day I came to jesus.
So am I saved still, even though I follow another Gospel now?.

If you do not believe in Jesus Christ today you are not saved.
Why make this thing harder than it is!
Hi Penn , that is how I was when I thought I could lose my Salvation , I lived in fear...
I was not living in the Eternal Security that God had given me through our LORD , I was living in fear , fearing every wrong move or thought...
It was not until I had been saved about a year or so that I came to CC , and my brothers & sisters also showed me through their constant ferm stance that my security lies in what Jesus has done , and not what I can do...
After that the Holy Spirit of God really opened up the Scriptures for me , and then I found I could read without fear , replaced with love and sound mind...
The devil uses our mind as a playground , telling us we are not worthy , but Jesus tells us no one can snatch us from His hands , and our heavenly Father has His hands wrapped around His Sons , nothing can separate us from the double hands that keep us in Gods safety...
All the glory to God Amen...xox...\/...
