felt like a hippocrite i was still
subject to sin and sinful desires.So in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer in the first place.So i can see how a christian could lose there salvation having once walked
by faith but that does nt effect there eternal life in Christ.Just so others know i am now walking
by faith and am an overcomer i know what it is like to experience the power of the holy spirit and to not be overcome
by my old nature that is what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal life.brentnz

feelings which are extra-marginal and outside of the primary consciousness altogether, but yet must be classed as conscious facts of some sort, able to reveal their presence
