Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

Why are you so disrespectful of others

False again......maybe read and study a little more.....do you believe the word of God

Therefore, we conclude a man is justified by faith WITHOUT the deeds/works of the law

and

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness

I guess only your opinion matters again

You should know....what you are peddling is exactly that....

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness

Your entitled to your beliefs

Try this verse and open your eyes

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness

The following verse is clear enough when one is honest

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness

It
It states a believer can DEPART from the faith

Read the other scriptures instead of only ones to do with not performing "good works". There are many that say you need to Obey God

If we become faithless HE ABIDES FAITHFUL because he cannot DENY HIMSELF.

Nice try...nothing teaches the loss of salvation

There are none that state salvation comes by anything other than faith...None

I guess you dont want to believe that one

Real faith not the FAITH OF DEMONS

Apply that to your own belief....you are obviously denying scriptural truths....

Demons do not have saving faith....another misapplication of James

2 Timothy 2:12, NIV: "if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;"

You can have your opinion

Nothing to do with salvation....try looking up the word CONTEXT.....here I will help...

Context
noun

1. the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.

Si.

Matthew Ch 13 is what I was referring to.

This discussion in general I have my reservations about OSAS, and that may be true for some.

Phillipians 2:12 is kind of what my overall thought process is atm. People are going to disagree (to a small measure). Jesus has many attributes and it stands to reason that everyone's salvation and sanctification looks a little bit different. Some may have less grace than others for certain things, some a deeper revelation on one attribute than another. One person's story could be marked by the peace and an easy life of praise and thanksgiving and another person could have a brutally hard life and see the Lord's faithfulness in a way that another could not.

We are all unique. What we believe should line up with the word certainly though, I will say that scripture seeds deeper in me everyday and what I thought lined up 10 years ago I KNOW lines up now. Cool process

Demons believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus as well.
