Here are some question for YOU to answer for a change.

Do you understand what repentance and confession are and what the difference is?

Do you understand what the new birth is about? What being a new creature in Christ is about?

What being crucified in Christ is?

You have not yet addressed those points but keep going on about confession and forgiveness apparently without the recognition of the distinction that God makes of the new man, the spiritual man, and the old man, the flesh part of our nature.

Do you understand the new birth and what it entails? Have you been born again, being given a new nature that has manifest itself in a change of heart?

I think my views are evident in my discourse, in my questions.

As I said earlier, I don’t believe you can separate repentance from true confession.

Nor separate salvation from repentance, or forgiveness from confession.

So my questions follow as to how this can be done under the doctrine of OSAS.

Is it that those who are OSAS presume they will repent and confess all their future sins, or that this is not necessary?
