There are several passages in the NT that refer to being able to fall away, and lose your salvation, after having been Christian and having "tasted" the truth.

We disagree I know because of your tradition of OSAS, but I believe when you come to Jesus your past sins only are forgiven at that point. Your continuing struggle against sin is a part of your new life and a function of your role in the body of the Church, "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God."-Hbr 12:15

What is your interpretation of 2 Tim. 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Would you please post them? OSAS isn't tradition with me. When I was younger, maybe but not now. It's scriptural but in addition to that I am also a witness. At one time I tried to "fall away". God let me know that I belonged to Him and would have no part of it.. He stayed with me and brought me back into the fold. That's why occasionally I toss a "are you sure?" to Malakhi :')
