“Those that slide off and fail to endure have no claim to any promise.” In this you do err, for you place the responsibility to activate the Promise of God in the hands of fallen man, whom Satan can always make fall into error. “Faithful is He that calleth you, for He will also do it. Many are called, but few are chosen.” Why do you supposed that is? ... Because so few will let Him do it, and they strive their entire life trying to ‘endure unto the end’, so that God will owe them what He has offered all along as Grace. Applying a passage aimed at those coming through the great Tribulation to those who have received the Holy Spirit of Promise as the earnest of their inheritance is erring to apply the scriptures properly. That error arises by not first noting to whom a passage is aimed.

That is doubletalk!
The scriptures have been posted more times than should be necessary. Enduring is our job, not God’s. The apostles assure us that many that had the Holy Spirit will be ultimately lost, due to their own turning away.
Disliking scripture won’t make it go away.
Refusing to believe the plain words of scripture is the error.
