Fine. Then could you ever be plucked out of the grasp of Jesus your savior? Or when you got saved was it something permanent that God did, no matter what you do?

If I had been a pedophile or a fornicator, God would not have had me in his hand to start with.

What a sad thought. So someone who is engaged in fornication can never be saved? That's not what you mean.

Someone who is saved will never engage in a sexual sin. No, that's not it either. People can fail.

What you mean is that saved people can't possibly do things that bad. You are putting a stipulation on salvation. Instead of salvation by "faith alone" you have added a clause. If you fall into sin that is too "heinous" God won't pull you out.
