Bible Note: I reviewed all Scripture you posted. Actually if I reviewed those verses once I reviewed them a thousand times previously. Only problem is, I believe you need to reconcile other Scripture as well before you say that "once saved, always saved" is an absolute Bibical teaching. Verses such as; For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. (Heb. 6:4-6 NASB) Ezek. 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. How do you reconcile these verses with the rest of the verses you posted. In my opinion "once saved, always saved" as taught by many today is a theological invention of man.
