This would be a pretty big torpedo to the idea of “Once saved, always saved”.
True conversion comes from the heart. Too many claim to be “saved” so they can use the “Once saved always saved!” argument to do evil.
They need to examine themselves to see if they be of the faith.2 Corinthians 13:5
The LORD knows those that are his...2 Timothy 2:19
The comeback I always heard, it wasn’t real the first time.
This would be a pretty big torpedo to the idea of “Once saved, always saved”.

Not really.
Maybe they weren’t truly saved? Consider all of them in this article that denounced their faith. Everyone of them advanced their career or gained notoriety from it. Maybe they were just along for the ride?
