"There is a very, very, huge difference between sinning and the conscious act of rejecting the salvation..."

Sin is a conscious choice; to know what is wrong and to choose to do it. It is abuse of the freedom that God gave us; a rejection of Good and with it Salvation."

..."the conscious act of rejecting the salvation of Jesus Christ by literally saying that there is no GOD or Christ"

There is no specific incantation to reject Salvation, but there are conscious choices that negate it and regain it No one is completely cut of from Salvation, nor confident of it until the moment of their death. Your admission is that "Always" doesn't always mean always, though.

So hope you don't die right after you loose your temper and call the guy a direct relation to a dog while flipping him off huh? LOL

I have never believed once saved always saved as such. Your sins after receiving salvation affect your treasures in heaven. It is much better to try not to sign and live right by GOD's Word. Note I said TRY. Through FAITH we can be confident indeed. Not because of our efforts but rather because of the Grace offered us through the Blood Covenant of Jesus Christ. Doubt is the work of the devil putting it there trying to weaken you.

On again, off again salvation.

You can have it.

God promises us in Scripture that we're secure, that He gave us the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come.
