It’s not “everlasting” if you can lose it.
We haven’t “been perfected forever” if we can become imperfect.
Paul said “Nothing in Life and nothing in death....can separate us from the love of God.”
Jesus said I will not drive them from me. And the Prophet Joel, said we would never leave.

And somewhere in the new testament it talks about some people who left the church as proof that they "were never" one of us.

In other words, a true believer, someone who put their trust in Jesus, doesn't need to be scared that someday they will lose their faith. It can't happen.

Scripture also talks about a carnal christian whose works are burned yet he is saved though as a man running from a house on fire.

is this insinuating that a person can stop believing?

Is this insinuating that a person can believe, receive Christ’s spirit by faith and salvation along with that, and at some later date, stop believing?

If a Person receives Christ’s spirit by faith, and they stop believing, do they lose Christ’s spirit?

Please defend your answer with Scripture
