Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking of losing the ability to be an overcomer
in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed
in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to live a christian life so i 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

in the flesh he can influence us to get worse not better.If we are walking

sin versus saved but an overcomer having been set free from
sin i think this is what Paul was trying to explain.It is better to be an overcomer
than overcome by
