Welcome! For as long as the church has been religious, the notion that a person cannot "lose" their salvation has been called grace. The Book of Life is the "book" in which the names of the saved souls are written, but Jesus said there could be some whose names are blotted out of the Book of Life, and thus lose their salvation.
The bible also speaks of being "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. Those that are sealed do not lose their salvation, but many churches today and countless numbers of people do not teach or preach or desire the infilling of the Holy Spirit to be "sealed" until the day of redemption when the Lord returns for us.
In fact, most people claiming to be "saved" and yet living according to the will of God know or suspect they can lose their salvation, but they ignore it. This fact makes sense, but they lose their sense of survival because of the choices in this world, i.e., the changes required to live godly in this world according to the will of God which they can know are too much of a fleshly sacrifice for them, and yet while denying their faith they place the salvation of their soul in jeopardy.
Those that teach around this issue and know better lack the guts to tell the truth. Others that teach around the issue and don't know better are, to some degree, still blinded by the enemy and thus unable to tell the truth.
For example, if one could never lose their salvation the Jews of the Old Covenant would not be held obliged to follow the New Covenant, for under the New Covenant is the baptism of the Spirit, i.e., the baptism Jesus the Christ brought to all men. many people, Jews and non-Jews seek to retain the option to stay within the old covenant for their salvation, but Jesus the Messiah, has informed everyone there is only one way and that is through Him and the New Covenant--a rebirth in Spirit!
Another example is not fearing God. Without a fear of the possibility of one losing their own salvation, there is no fear of God, period. If a man is filled with the Holy Spirit the fear of God exists in the flesh and the love of God dwells in his heart as an obedient child of God. For the lost whose soul was never written in the Book of Life by acceptance of the gift, i.e., "saved", and not even subject to the infilling of the Holy Spirit, there is nothing additional to being lost for one who is lost does not know how lost they are, and to them that are claiming their salvation through faith, faith without works is dead. The works are not deeds to earn salvation, but the good fruit of the spirit ever pleasing to God the Father and glorifying Jesus the Christ.
If we all lived as if we could lose our salvation, we never would lose it because we would seek the leading of the Holy Spirit to LIVE and we who believe the Word and the New Covenant of the bible would watch what we do more closely and remain penitent for our errors and mistakes whenever they occurred.
This ministry is about casting down the false doctrine and teachings of the "once saved always saved no matter what because you can't lose your salvation" doctrine almost universally extolled by every Christian denomination that exists without being a champion of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, AND the associated pursuit of the will of God at all levels, including the lives of the church members. In addition, this ministry abhors the reliance on the doctrine of grace as a matter of convenience to justify the flesh.
This ministry is about the truth as per Jesus-the Word, and the will of God almighty!

A person CAN lose their salvation, and if they are already "sealed" with the Holy Spirit, i.e., the spirit of truth, how can they live a life of sin and still get to heaven? They can't!
This means the religious stuff you may have been taught might be getting in the way of your eternal life because the Holy Spirit will drive a person toward the truth in the word and not away from it!
Sure, people don't like that truth, but this site contains the TEACHINGS OF TRUTH and they are true as per the bible, and Jesus Himself!

For a fast glimpse, take a look at the section on this website about the false prophets and false teachers and start to understand the lie that is being perpetrated on people by the blinding work of the devil, and those that are the devil's own-many of whom are behind the pulpit today!
To this revelation most people claiming to be saved say: "Oh no, that is not right, I was not taught that!". That is the point, they were taught and never learned of their own from the true Spirit of God. People were taught the earth was flat and believed the lie as truth, and such things happen all the time.
Study the word on your own, learn not to let your flesh control you, find that place to fear God, come to know Jesus and let Him know you, and be sealed with the Holy Spirit, but know this, your life will change and it might not feel good right away! Keep the faith until the end and live forever! You can start right here!

When Jesus was nailed to the cross between two men who were also nailed to a cross of their own, one of the criminals believed Jesus was the very Christ sent by God the Father. That man confessed his sin before Jesus. Jesus then said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." See, Luke 23:39-43.

What if the thief was able to get down from the cross and live on? Could he "lose" his salvation? We are not to speak of the unpardonable sin, but it exists and relates to knowing the true gift of God, the Holy Spirit, and turning from it. Moreover, Jesus said that some names would be blotted out of the Book of Life, and if we claim to be "saved" it is our names that are written in the Book of Life, and yet some of them will be blotted out!
What if he had more life to live on this planet like you and me, would the thief turn from the Word? What about you? Is simple confession enough for salvation while continuing in sin, but Jesus said "go and sin no more"?
What if the thief had other sins, should he confess AND repent of them too, or depend on a doctrine of grace or God's mercy to be able to avoid the discomfort of repentance? Would the thief live as if his soul was bought with a price? What about you?

"My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." John 7:17

The bible says that all who are saved are in one mind and one accord with Christ. Those who believe that it is possible to lose their salvation are in one mind and one accord on every issue. They know the "baptism" of Christ Jesus is of the baptism of the Holy Spirit of the Father, including the will of God.
The baptism of John is of repentance and the water is used to symbolize cleansing and this starts preparation of our flesh to accept the Holy Spirit. One must have a cleansed temple, i.e., the body is the temple of God for those that are His, in order for the Holy Spirit of God to come and dwell therein. Water baptism is not necessary because somebody can still repent in an arid desert where there is no water, and find salvation there too!
One mind and one accord IS a belief that one can lose their salvation!
We are truly in the final hours of the "last days", and we need to repent and be strong, leading others to the truth!
