It seems that the difference between POTS and OSAS is in the question of whether the individual "choose" to be saved or was predestined. I've read the article and following justification both camps are in agreement.

I'm not sure I picked up on that difference. Do you think the author was saying that holders of OSAS are against predestination? Perhaps that is decided by what a "professing" Christian is. At the end of the article, it means "fake" Christian, but at the beginning, it looks like it is supposed to refer to a real Christian, although I've never really met one who actually thinks it is fine to go out and sin away after accepting Christ. Even so, I took "professing" to just mean after salvation, by either free will or predestination.

I've had the same experience in that, I've never seen or heard of instances where Christians were encouraged to sin after making a plea to the LORD to Save them. So I'm figuring that the difference between OSAS and POTS is the way in which we came to that moment. After being justified the HOLY SPIRIT seals us and preserves us.

"JESUS will not lose any the Father has given him."
