Protestants make the claim that they know that THEY are IRRESISTIBLY SAVED! Men CANNOT EVER LOSE their salvation, no matter what they do! However, in case something in the future, say 40 years from now, happens to make them reject the faith, well, naturally, they weren't saved to begin with! That's your side's argument.

That is largely a Calvinist claim. As you statement is written, it simply isn't true. The majority of Protestants are not Calvinists.

I was not aware of that. I have talked with many different Protestants, and they all seem to believe "once saved -always saved" theology. On this thread, the gentleman is a Baptist, not of the Reformed side. (I don't know if Baptists fit on either side of classical Protestantism). Could you please explain a bit your beliefs on this subject so that I am able to better qualify my statements on this subject in the future.

Thanks and sorry for my generalizations on your own beliefs.
