Not true.
The Prodigal was always the Father's son. Even when he was away squandering his inheritance.
Are we to presume the son who went broke is related to us and our being in the Father's salvation? Can we 'spend' our salvation if we backslide so to be unsaved,broke, eventually? The same way the Prodigal went bust in a short time and returned to his father penniless?
The Prodigal returned home and his father wept with happiness and called for a celebration. Because the son returned to the fold and was still,forever,his child.
While the Prodigal's brother was angry that this was allowed given his faithfulness to the father all along.
We don't ever lose our salvation.

Bart Erhman, professed Atheist, current Bible Scholar, was a preacher until he concluded God is not real. but he knew the Bible well so becoming a Scholar seemed to be a logical step. he currently debates professing Christians and takes the position the Bible is a myth and God is a fable. he once was saved. now he professes God is fake. does he still have Salvation?
The warning was to His disciples. Be on your guard. Don't let this happen to you. If you fall away into the partying, carousing, drunken life style and that day comes, it will be like a trap a day of destruction and judgment and all those in the world who were not ready for it will suffer judgment and this includes those who were disciples but backslide into carousing and drunkenness and are deceived into thinking that they will some how get a pass. There will be no pass. BE ON YOUR GUARD. Don't live like that.
Too many who think they are saved are living like that. And that day will come upon them as a trap. No amount of explaining away this warning from Christ will help them. The only solution is to repent now and stop living like that before Jesus comes.
