Thanks for your reply:

God is all powerful, yet unable to save the lost;

Why would you think God, or anyone, who chooses not to do something is therefore unable to do it? Non sequitor.

Forced love is not love.

God is all knowing yet saves someone not knowing if that person will fall away,

Again, a confusion of foreknowing combined with the fallacy of OSAS.

God is all present except for the time that Adam took the fruit from Eve.

Huh?

You make the mistake of believing God wants to love us and have fellowship with us. In actually God created us for His glory.

Too bad I don't believe in OSAS. As a Reformer I believe in POTS.

Huh?

One has to wonder if God didn't want Adam to sin, why would He allow Adam to take that first bite. Was this very loving knowing the punishment?

Forget for the moment the differing understandings of OSAS and tell how it is possible for God to unsave one He has already saved.

My question has nothing whatsoever to do with the belief of an individual that he is saved; rather, the individual saved by God once.
