Do you mean this article? There is no insinuation, I am only saying that true faith is continuous, not static. The Bible never says that if you believe in Jesus at any one point in your life, you are saved, regardless of whether or not you later defected. A true believer, will always believe, or should he defect he will return to that belief.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.(Hebrews 6:4-6)

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.(Hebrews 10:24-27)

remember though, we are Kept by the power of God, not our faith or works

we are SEALED until our redemption

It looks like your article claims that a man can lose his salvation

Is that one of your points?
