What you said is unbiblical, so I care for you, but cannot in good conscience support your doctrine.

1) All people who teach loss of security use unclear verses and statements, "we have to show", "we have to prove", "can't practice wickedness"

2) All people " " say salvation is about US, our behavior, and not really about JESUS--Jesus gives us the opportunity to be saved, not salvation

3) Loss of salvation always has to do with my behavior, not Jesus's power

That is just your opinion verses mine.  I believe OSAS is unBiblical.  I have nothing against you personally, but I believe OSAS has led a lot of souls into hell because they see no need to repent of their sins.  The verses the believers in OSAS use are out of context.

I appreciate your zeal for God, but we are saved by the cross of Jesus, not by our repenting. People repent unto salvation once, I changed my mind that I could save myself and repented/rethought--only God can save me.

I do not use verses out of context. There are over 150 NT verses about salvation, all 150 say, "Trust Jesus". There is not a single verse that says repentance saves us.

If your pastor gave you "only" 150 verses justifying his doctrine, would you say, "I need more verses" or "Those 150 passages are all out of context"?

And, if you believe in eternal insecurity, you have to believe that if I'm saved and lost, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RENEW ME UNTO REPENTANCE, so I can NEVER repent and be saved after I'm saved, then lost.

1 John teaches the need to repent of sins.  Hebrews 10 teaches willful sins are not under the original blood covering.  I don't know what 150 verses you speak of, but I guarantee they are being taken wrong, out of context, or talking about God's foreknowledge of who is predestined to salvation.  If you want to post the 150 verses, I will look at them.

FF, you wrote: "If you want to post the 150 verses, I will look at them."

I JUST POSTED MANY VERSES. Are you going to look at them and the given interpretation BEFORE you say "wrong!" or not?

That is a perfect example of misusing scripture.  I will look at it.
